My right click doesn´t work to expand the tool options in Premiere nor After Effects. I can expand the tool options in AE with the shortcut key, but not in Premiere. It is very dissaponting and I see this issue(in several ways) in too many posts, with no useful answers to me. I have PC, Windows 10, two monitors. Plese help!!! It is frustrating.

    Problem solved - corrupted Workspace was my problem.
    Uninstall, Reinstall of Premiere & reset preferences of Premiere (complete reset).

    I had the same problem, I tried to make proxies for a few clips and the right click didn't work. I changed the icon view (from square previews to just the lists) to list mode and then I could right click and create the proxies.

    Oh, here's another tip / possible solve. I notice my right click wasn't working when I clicked on a file in the project panel (for example if I wanted to "create sequence" from a file). I realized I had to right click, not on the little file icon, but the actual words (title) of the file, that would pull up the dropdown. Weird, but solved.

      I think I've worked it out. You need to go to the mac system preference and enable mouse right click

        I'm having the same problem, no mouse right clicks work. Used to be able to right click to copy or delete effects from timeline, or right click to create new sequence, folder etc... please fix. very annoying

        omg! i found the solution! click both left and right mouse clicks at the same time - or click them along with the scroll key (middle). it works! i got frustrated with this problem and i didn't want to uninstall install premiere (also resetting preferences didn't work for me) so i just clicked away the mouse! haha - hope it helps someone too! you're welcome!

         

        Another is long press on it! 🙂 left mouse click

          this helped me so much, i can't believe it's just holding a click on them was the solution for me, so easy.

          Do you mean the contextual menu for the panels?

          Do they work with one monitor disabled?

          I don´t know if I mean that. In the tools panel, the little arrow in the bottom right, In photoshop it can be displayed with the right click and I have done it before in AE. But for a few days now, It is not working in AE nor premiere. No, it doesn´t work with one monitor only.

          Hi 360VisitasVirtuales,

          Is this the current version of these applications? This sounds like a bug that was already fixed. Can you please make sure you are operating with the new versions?

          Thanks,
          Kevin
