Marker Dialogue Box automatically opening whenever I Add Marker

  • December 3, 2024

Using CC 2025...whenever I add a marker while the playhead is paused, it automatically opens up the Marker Dialogue Box (where you can fill in comments, etc.) This is a bit annoying, as I have to close it each time. Usually in the past, I would have to click the add marker shortcut (M in my case) twice to open the dialogue box. Any reason why this is happening?

    @kg77,

     

    Thanks for reporting back. Yes, let us know if this happens again.

    I just created a new document, and the keyboard shortcuts started acting up again. I tried switching to default, and default shortcuts worked. I switched back to my custom shortcuts preset, and it still didn't work. I'm remaking my keyboard shortcuts now, and the new set I'm making seems to work fine so far.

    It appears that someone else has already experienced the same problem, so this isn't just me: Marker Dialogue Box automatically opening whenever I Add Marker 

     

    I first noticed that when I hit my keyboard shortcut for "Add Marker," it would add a marker to the timeline, and then automatically open up the dialogue box for that marker. Every time I add a marker, I have to close this dialoge box before I can continue editing.

     

    Additionally, I noticed that when using my keyboard shortcuts for "Go to Previous Marker" or "Go to Next Marker," the playhead would jump two markers intead of just one. It appears that whenever I hit one of these keyboard shortcuts, it's registering as if it's happening twice.

     

    I am using Premiere Pro 25.1 on a Windows 10 computer. Below is a GIF screen recording of the issue.

    What version of Windows are you running? I'm on Windows 10.

    @maxa62701748,

     

    I am not seeing this on Win10/PR 25.0.0. The marker is added without the dialogue box opening, whether I use the "M" shortcut or the menu system - Markers -> Add Marker.

     

    I see that there is a shortcut (with no default shortcut set) for Edit Marker. But I think this would just not work if it were assigned to "M".

     

    If you add using the menu command, do you get the same result?

      I just switched to default keyboard shortcuts, and they work fine. So it appears that it's specifically the custom shortcuts that are triggering the action twice.
