Extremely difficult to move and drag transitions and crossfades.

Hey there. I am having this really annoying issue with Premiere Pro 2024, where when I try to change to change the size of, or move around a transition of some sort on an audio or video file, I find it very difficult to grab the transition and drag it around. I almost always end up moving the clip, instead of the transition.

Only the most recent update in Premiere that has added updates and changes with how audio mixing works, has this become an issue.

I am not sure if this is a problem with my computer? Or more likely, an issue with the software with recent changes.

If anyone is experiencing this, or has suggestions, let me know.

Thanks,

Yeeeeeessssss!!!! So frustrating. 
Nothing is more annoying that companies tinkering with things that already work just fine. 

Leave stuff alone. We'll tell you if we think things should change.

Absolutely driving me crazy! Why, why, why Adobe have you tried to make something so everyday, so basic, so "I use this every 5 minutes when I'm editing EVERY single video", into something infuriating, frustrating, impossible, inconsistent???

It slows us all down so often, so much, and causes constant issues. It actually feels like something that will be a "last straw" for Premiere... you really didn't need to give us more reasons to jump ship to Davinci or Final Cut... but honestly, this one is massive! Fix it, or you lose us... 

I still cannot believe that one of THE most expensive editing software is so buggy, so problematic, so frustrating!

It feels like Adobe don't actually have video editors that test the fancy grfaphical changes they make to the user interface...  I find it difficult to believe they do... Anyone using Premiere would run into this problem within 5 minutes. 
I just took 11 attempts to actually be able to select an audio transition I wanted to change the length and position of.  Incredibly, that is becoming normal now... Adobe, are you listening?

FWIW: Here's a link to the Beta forum, where you can comment on features before they are released: Premiere Beta

Whether we like it or not, remember ... there are several million daily users of Premiere.

You don't like the change to the Fx box and the difficulty in trying to use the stuff like fades at the end/beginning of the clip.

I  don't like them either.

Some users have posted complaints. So we're not alone.

But the vast majority of users aren't complaining. And don't see a problem "there". Odd as that seems to me, I know it is Real Life.

Real Life plain sucks at times, though. Sheesh.
