'Properties' option missing

[HLJR]

When I right click a clip in the timeline the 'properties' option is missing. I tried it in the clips in the project panel, it's not there too. I attached screenshots of it. Maybe my eyes  are deceiving me. If you see it in the screenshots please tell me and apoligies for this post. Thank you.

@leeberman35,

> Or at least give us the option to create a shortcut for it.

The removal of the shortcut was reported to be unintended. And this made the change more frustrating and unacceptable. The shortcut was reinstated with Release version 24.6.1. (And is in 25.x.) With a clip selected in the timeline or Project Panel, use Ctrl+Shft+H, which is the default shortcut for File -> Get Media file Properties For -> Selection.  You must have a selection and that panel (timeline or project panel) must be in focus.

Exactly!!! Why remove something that is so readily used.... These devs sometimes, I really wonder what they are thinking with stuff like this. 

-Not to mention the default clip timeline color is differnt now and completely throwing me off.

I feel like lots of video editing is muscle memory. Please stop changing things that people have got into the habit of using for YEARS. "Why use one click when we could change it to 4 or 5???"

So annoying. If Adobe is going to implement this, at least allow us to change it back to how it was and what we're used to (like the default label colors which was also an annoying change)

[graceful_moment2488]

Agreed.  I have been using Properties for YEARS.  And the fact that I can't readily figure out where the properties features are in the new version is a SIGN that things are not user-friendly.

I don't like to be too negative, and some of the recent improvements to fluidity of playback and AI integration has been really appreciated...

...but, I have to agree with the previous comments. I used to use the right click properties function all the time. Now it's gone it's a pain to click around the screen for the same information. Couldn't you remove some other features from the dropdown? Half of mine are greyed out anyway. Or enable customisation of the menu. Or even as a last resort include 'show more options' in the dropdown like in Windows 11 (as annoying as that is)

@dominics65875959,

No argument with a variety of options. But in 24.6.1 at least, the keyboard shortcut (Ctrl+Shft+H) again works from the timeline.

I feel like Adobe just pushing us to move to the Davinci...

[Viscerah_1]

I just spent 10 minutes screaming WHERE TF IS THE PROPERTIES BUTTON, HAVE I GONE INSANE?! and figured, wait.. let me check the forums - Yep! Another poor choice from the UI/UX team - guys! There's like 10 others options that people don't use often... why was one of the most important professional tools moved, and why do I have to learn a new keyboard shortcut after 18 years...

[Tom Fewchuk]

It's kinda cringe that the dev team obviously doesn't even use Premiere themselves, given how many dumb UX decisions have been made over the last year. It's just a job for them and they have to look like they're doing something to appease their bosses so they just arbitrarily get rid of features or make them worse to say "they're doing something"

[vickikidd]

Please add the properties back in timeline! Super frustrating trying to figure out the frame rate of the footage that is already on the timeline. Way too many button clicks + a time delay for reloading the media. 

[Stan Jones]

@vickikidd,

I assume you saw this, and want it to be in the context menu, but just in case:

Click on item; Ctl+Shft+H.

i get the same problem 

[Stan Jones]

@Dinesh_kumar7064,

You appear to be working in a PR version before the change to the "Properties" panel rather than the "Essential Graphics" panel.

I'm here for this reason.  This is my workflow for many years.  I have multiple frame rates and right clik/properties in timeline to see what the frame rates are.  Now I have to add multiple clicks on the other side of my desktop. It entirely slows my workflow down.  Furthermore, it means I have to open my bins, which I keep closed, or to a minimum, to preserve ram on large projects, which Adobe advises.

This is a very real and utterly pointless mistake in the design.  I don't even know when I updated Premiere and this change was implemented.  I've stayed on 2024 because I don't want to risk any bugs, like the glitchy render when an earlier version came out (and I was advised it was my workflow and I needed prores) but oh... quietly an update fixes it.  It was never me, it was the software and again.. this is the software.

You've made a 2 second task that I do hundreds of times per project a 20/30 second task and a brea in the concentration, the flow.

I've been editing 30 years, was one of the first in the UK to use Premiere for broadcast.  I know you're after the new crowd but don't turn your back on the loyals.  That's always the start of the end. 

Mr Monahan, can you get this changed back?  Can we have an option to add it back into our right click option?  There is no possible way this new way will speed anything up for me.  I do not see a case of me having to learn a new way that will be faster once i get the hang of it.  This is 100's of % slower and will always be.

@screenname_abc,

What version of PR are you on now? The shortcut I describe below was missing in some versions of PR 24.

When the option was removed from the right-click context menu, the keyboard shortcut was briefly removed (in error) and then put back. Select your clip in the timeline. Then Ctl+Shft+H: the Media File Properties box shows.

Hello

It´s really not showing in my Adobe ..I don´t have time to do alot of reseaching with a deadline tonight ..BAD CHOICE to move it, I useed it ALL the time ..now I have to stop using Adobe after 20 years !!!

[MstrO]

They removed the menu item and shortcut,  but put the shortcut back so you can bind  ‘get media properties for file’ to something (like the old reliable Final Cut shortcut of cmd+9 as nature intended)

[Stan Jones]

@geirø90139039,

The right-click option is gone. But just select your clip in the timeline. Then Ctl+Shft+H: the Media File Properties box shows.

That is the default shortcut. If you want to change it or already have custom shortcuts, just add it or whatever you want.
