Hi everyone,

I'm new to this software and am working on a macbook pro. I pressed ctrl + ~ to view the playback full screen (an instruction I found on google!) and now I am stuck! I have tried everything I can think of so can anyone please help me?!

Thank you!!!

I have the same problem and this doesn't work for me when it freezes up.  


It freezes in full screen, and I've tried cntrl+~, I've tried escape, cntrl+escape+~, cntrl+shift+~, and a bunch of other combinations but nothing works except to restart my computer.  It's quite frustrating. Has anybody else with this recurring issue figured it out?

Did anyone find a solution?

 

I have this same bug. When I cntrl ~ to enter full screen mode, PP won't recognize the command for some time. Then randomly it'll enter full screen mode and then freezes. My only solution is a complete reboot.  Force quit, esc etc. all fail. Highly frustrating bug.

Never mind I just figured it out. For those who use mac, control + ~ works. Before that I was doing option + o I think to get out of the program. Super annoying but the solution of control + ~ does work.

I'm on Windows, but hopefully this helps in the future. I just hit Alt + F4 whenever this happens and it gets me out of it. I know that seems really sketchy to do if you haven't saved in a bit, so if you're scared about that, here's a precaution I usually take:

  1. Hit the Windows key (or whatever key allows you to see the taskbar), right click on the Premiere icon, and tell it to "Close window" which will make premiere open the Save menu.
  2.  Press Alt + F4 to force close the application. Whenever I do this, it closes the fullscreen but keeps the save menu open before it closes, so you can hit "Save" and keep your progress before it completely closes.
  3. Reopen Premiere and resume work 🙂

Its 2024, the same problem still exists. I am using a month old Macbook Pro so it is not the system specs. This is litterally the first project for school that I am using Premier Pro for and went full screen. I can at this moment Not exit full screen using all the tips below, and I can not force quite the program. The only way I can even use the computer at the moment was to attach my Ipad as a second screen, because everytime I make a new desktop the full screen mode just jumps back in.

Any advice, for this wonderfully annoying problem?

Same here but on Windows. Managed to open settings, changed screen resolution and premiere let me save the project before "almost full screen" playback showed up. Closed premiere and reopened it. Maybe this helps ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Windows user here - I found the ctrl + ` option didn't work for me unfortunately.

I use Fn + F3 then choose any other display option and then back to default, for me it then lets me exit fullscreen in adobe and saves me having to ctrl/alt/delete and reopen! 

hope this helps.

The only thing that worked for me was going to my settings, changing the resolution, going back into the program and then saved my project quickly, it kicked me back into fullscreen, then I changed the resolution again, did the same thing, then I clicked esc. (Mac user)

 

Step 1: Change your resolution in settings

Step 2: Go back into your premiere program

Step 3: Save (if you can), if you cannot or it kicks you back into fullscreen, repeat Step 2 & 3

Step 4: Click esc to exit fullscreen mode

 

Hope this helps 🙂
