I'm using an older mac, 2018 with a trackpad, and running Premiere Pro. It seems the latest update made it so that when I try to scrub through footage with my trackpad, it sizes the video in the viewer instead. I'd love to know how to change this setting back to the way it was as it is costing me a ton of time having to grab the scroll bar at the bottom of the window when I'm trying to scrub footage.

I should also mention that I've turned on "hover scrub" (shift+H) selected when this happens. I believe that's suppose to allow me to scrub with my trackpad as it has in the past. I've restarted my computer and have the same result.
Not sure how to work this with a trackpad ... with a mouse, if the cursor is over the image section of the screen, you are sizing with any movement. If the cursor is over the lower controls area, you are scrubbing the timeline.
So where is your cursor when doing this? Again, not sure how this plays out with a trackpad.
Doesn't seem to matter where it is placed. I've tried on the timeline as well as the viewer, same result, it just resizes the image instead of scrubbing. BTW, this is something I've done for years without issue, and it saves me a bunch of time, which is why I miss it so much. This just started after the latest version of Premiere was dropped. It was working previously.
Hi I'm experiencing the same thing, please bring back the old style of timeline scrubbing or better yet, include a setting to switch it back. For all my life as a video editor using Premiere Pro, I've been scrubbing through the video the old way. Please do something about it

If I understand the problem correctly I just encountered the same, that when you scrub through the timeline objects or videos change the size during scrubbing and then returns to the size you set? If so, go to your timeline display settings and uncheck "Composite preview during trim"
I don't think you understood the problem. Previously, When you hover your mouse over at the preview timeline and scroll your mouse, it actually scrubs through your actual timeline whether it's forward or backwards. But in the recent update, they suddenly changed the way it works, and if I hover my mouse and did the same scrolling with my mouse, it doesn't scrub my timeline anymore, it resizes the preview zooming in and out
Just to be sure, you're talking about on the Program monitor.
Have you placed your mouse cursor over the Program monitor's timeline? If directly over the timeline of the Program monitor it will scrub the timeline.
It would be nice to toggle between size and scrub.
I know this is form months ago, but I still wish that they would change it back. I refuse to update my Premiere Pro version until I know I can get the scrubbing back in the Program Monitor with my trackpad. I don't want to have to move my mouse down to the "scrub area" each time I need to progress something. I track different text/images onto my videos, and it is such a time waster!
