I have 100's of shots in a wildlife project that I'm editing and I'm using icon view in my project panel to go through my different bins and make selects.
Not every shot begins on a frame that's particularly useful in making a choice but no matter what I've tried I cannot get Set Poster Frame to work on the frame of the thumbnail I've selected. It keeps going back to the first frame of the clip.
I would recommend going to the 22 version, where the poster frames are now working.
If that's not an option, the work around is to set the In on the thumbnails as you hover the cursor. The In mark will be the image you see on the thumbnails.
Thank you for posting that this remains a problem in the latest version. I have been undoing my In points and replacing them with poster frames, thinking Adobe finally fixed the problem. I share your frustration.
I almost never use that but I'm setting up my new Production workflow and I'm able to add a bunch of things I didn't use much before. Just yesterday and today I was working on a project for that and I set a bunch of Poster Frames. Very easy. (PP 23.3). If I click on the thumbnail and right-click and set poster frame, it felt like I was getting inconsistent results, like did I move the cursor after I set the poster frame.... But it was too slow anyway. So, I have a roaming hotkey I use for things I need at one time or another and can change it at anytime, so I assigned Set Poster Frame to it, and now I just quickly hover over a thumbnail, and press the hotkey, no need to click on the thumbnail. It's about as fast as it could be and working quite well, as is the Production workflow. (sweet!) 🙂
Sorry about the trouble. Are you still getting an issue? If so, can you share the screen recording of the issue? Also, let us know the version of the Premiere Pro?
Here's a recording of what I'm going through. The thing is, it's not consistent. After reading this thread and your request, I started to make you a recording and Set Poster Frame worked fine for 4 or 5 instances. So I was about to give up and let you know that, after dealing with the bug, it had seemingly disappeared. But I went back to try one more time and got the recording below. As you see, the first one works but then subsequent attempts on clips in the same bin from the same camera and the same card fail.
I started messing around with dragging the clips into the timeline, finding the desired thumbnail and then match-framing and then going back to the program monitor and hitting Command-P and it works. It's absurd. But it works.
