Effects panel playhead flys down timeline when moving to the end of a clip.

I keyframe in my work a lot, so moving the playhead in the effect controls panel is pretty common for me. The problem I have is that I can't move it all the way to the end without the playhead flying down my timeline, losing the spot I was at (and depending on how long the clip is, it can be super sensitve & touchy when moving it down to the end).

I could deselect 'Selection Follows Playhead' in the sequence drop-down menu and "fix" this, however that deselects the clip that my playhead is on (obviously), which is super helpful as I don't have to move my playhead to the next clip AND select the clip.

I have no idea if this is intended, but I would be surprised if it was as it's so incredibly touchy. If it is, it would be great to have an option for the effect controls panel to NOT do this.

It sounds like you have Pin to Clip disabled.

Click the Effect Controls pop-up menu and check that Pin to Clip is checked.

I found this frustrating as well, so I made a video about how to work around it:

This works well, thank you! Especially explained well as MacBook keyboards as I don't have an 'End' key. 👍 Messing around with it further, I noticed that just 'Fn+ArrowKey' works while the ECP is selected, rather than 'Shift+Fn+ArrowKey' which works for the selected clip while the timeline is selected.

Would still be great to see an option in the future to "lock" onto the clip in the ECP as I mentioned in other replies, as I still scan through the clip with my mouse occasionally, but I still a good work around and I appreciate the help!
