Question

JKL Editing, after hitting L the play head takes off without response

So Im editing in the new 2022, updated Geforce drivers (2070), 128 GB of RAM, i9 9900k...

 

It's a theater production... so there are a lot of times where I can just speed through a camera angle.

Typically use JKL editing here... but every other time I start the playhead, hit L L ... it just takes off without responding to either spacebar or K. It will run on for about 5-10 seconds not responding to any commands. 

 

Thoughts? Thanks!

If that doesn't work, try resetting the Workspaces:

Reset the current workspace to return to its original, saved layout of panels.
1. Do one of the following:
• Click the Workspace menu icon and select Reset to Saved Layout.

If that doesn't work, try Preferences > Audio Hardware and set Input to None.

If that doesn't work, try creating a new project and import the old one into it.

Hi, did this help? I'm experiencing the same issues. Coming from Avid, this is infuriating. JKL seems completely broken - so I'm wondering if I'm missing something?

I'm running Big Sur, Premier Pro 23, and all my footage is transcoded to DNXHDLB.

I rely on editing by 'feeling', so without JKL i can't really do my job - very disappointed in Premier if this isn't something that's been totally fine tuned like in Avid.

Also - am I right that you can't press L (play) and then J (reverse) for an INSTANT reverse, instead it slows down? and you have to keep pressing J until it actually reverses?

Thanks for your help.

I've watched both Jarle Leirpoll and Christine Steele for short periods while they were trimming something ... and with the three fingers on JKL, they were working so fast I had trouble keeping up with what they were doing.

 

One hand on JKL, the other where they had a group of cursor movement key-shorts set together.

 

So ... some users seem to get very rapid use of this, jumping forth/back and doing all sorts of intricate trims rapidly.

Yeah it might be my setup. Big Sur. Premiere 23. 64GB Ram. I'm sure other specs are involved, but it's just not working well on my machine. Glad to hear it's working for other people though.
