P: Clip Nudging broken after drag & drop in 24.4

Can anyone else reproduce this issue? Is it an issue on Mac as well?

 

Selected clips won't nudge (ALT + arrow key) after being draged & dropped.

 

  1. Select a clip in your sequence
  2. Drag the selected clip to a new point in time, or to a new track
  3. Try to nudge the clip using ALT and any of the arrow keys

 

The clip that still looks (and should be) selected, and is in the Sequence pane which itself is still active (bordered) should move.

 

But it doesn't move at all. It behaves as if it's not selected. It still looks selected.

 

Nudging is not the only thing affected. I have keyboard shortcuts setup to allow me to change the color of the selected clip and those don't work either. The clip behaves as if it's not selected. Nudging was the first thing I noticed, though, as I commonly time shift clips, splice them with CTRL+K, and use Alt+Up to move them, and this workflow is now broken.

To get back to the intended functionality, if you click on the "selected" clip, nothing visually changes, but now you should regain the ability to nudge and interact with it.

 

This wasn't a problem pre 24.4.0 (in the mainstream builds; I never tested any Beta versions). It's still broken in 24.4.1

 

I have no third party plugins.

Windows 11, fully up to date

Hello, ignoring the god awful colors the whole timeline now has,

after the 24.4.0 update i have noticed a change in behavior of the Nudge fuctions: After I move a clip in the timeline with the mouse, if I press the shortcuts to nudge it one frame to the left/right/up/down on the timeline, it has no effect. I have to deselect the clip, select it again, then it works.

Is this a bug or a desired behevior, if it's desired, why?

Are your pressing Alt or Option or Command or Control when using the arrow keys?

 

Assuming the Keyboard Shortcuts are set to Adobe Premiere Pro Default:

  • Left is step forward one frame.
  • Right is step backward frame.
  • Up is go to next edit point.
  • Down is go to previous edit point.
  • Control/Command left is nudge clip selection left one frame.
  • Control/Command right is nudge clip selection right one frame.
  • Alt/Option up is nudge clip selection up.
  • Alt/Option down is nudge clip selection down.

Default keyboard shortcuts, ALT+Arrow keys.

Been using it for more than 15 years like this, not the point. Problem is that NOW, after the update, I have to re-select the clip I want to nudge left/right by one frame or up/down on the layers. Until now, you'd move a clip, set it, press Alt+Arrow to nudge it. Now it's move it, set it, deselect it, re select it then alt+arrow to nudge.


Yes, the clip must be selected.


The behavior hasn't changed.

 

Is something causing the clip to deselect on your system before you have finished nudging?
