Premiere Pro Effect Controls Slider not working

My ability to use the mouse slider to change things like position, scale, opacity etc. in Effect Controls has suddenly stopped working, meaning the only way I can change them is by typing new values in. This is, needless to say, hugely frustrating.

 

I have tried a hard reset of Premiere, and have also trashed my preferences - neither of these worked. I've read a couple of other threads on this issue, but neither really come to a conclusion that fixes the problem - can anybody help?

Do you have any tablet/Wacom drivers installed?

Just signed up here. I'm having a similar problem, I need to scroll into the 60,000's all of a sudden to change pos. What would problem would tablet drivers be causing?

I've seen issues where Wacom input was somehow different from mouse input. As you can see from this thread, I asked on two diffrent occasions if they were using a Wacom tablet. I can only assume from the lack of replies that they stopped using their Wacom tablet, their issue was resolved and they forgot to follow back up.

Try resetting the preferences:

If that doesn't work, try resetting the Workspaces:
Reset a workspace
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.
• Choose Window > Workspace > Reset to Saved Layout.

This didn't solve it 😞 

 

I'm having the same issue as the original post- the position slider is all of a sudden missing and I can't change the position of anything unless i want to keep entering the exact values

I had that happen to me once. I didn't have my Num Lock on.  Try making sure that the keyboard Num Lock is on.

It's not specific to one clip, one sequence or even one project - it's happening with everything.

Did you click on these little arrows? When you click, the sliders should be.
