Timeline zooms all the way in again after zooming out to max with mouse scroll

[Jeremy25]

Hey there!

I cannot for the life of me figure this out and I have scoured the preferences, settings and all the adobe forums looking for an answer, perhaps someone here knows the trick!

Formerly, I used to be able to zoom in and out of the timeline using Option+Mouse Scroll just fine. If I zoomed out all the way, the timeline would stay in a maximum-zoomed-out state. This was great because I could quickly zoom all the way out to the timeline with a quick scroll of the mouse and then navigate from there.

Now, all of a sudden, when I scroll zoom-out too quickly, it's as if the timeline gets to max zoom-out and then zooms right back in to Maximum zoom-in (Sorry for all the zooms!). This causes a infinte zoom out cycle. I'm not sure if this is a setting, a bug or something to do with my computer, but it doesn't seem to happen on every computer, nor does it happen on every project as far as I can tell!

Just wondering if anyone has seen this or knows whats going on here, I'd greatly appreciate a push in the right direction!

EDIT: I have made a video to demonstrate the issue, hope this helps!

Try a different mouse.

Hey thanks for the suggestion! I tried and still the same effect!

If a laptop, try disabling the touch pad.

If that is not it,  try resetting the preferences:

FAQ: How to reset preferences in Premiere Pro?

If that doesn't work, try resetting the Workspaces:

Reset a workspace

Reset the current workspace to return to its original, saved layout of panels.

1. Do one of the following:
   • Click the Workspace menu icon and select Reset to Saved Layout. 
   • Choose Window > Workspace > Reset to Saved Layout.

Hey! I have a similar problem, it's driving me crazy.

Basically, when I quickly zoom out in the timeline the software zoom me back all the way in. This means that every movement I do on the timeline has to be slow (I do it pressing alt)

I found a solution for my situation!

I realised from another blog post, that other people had a similar issue and they too had a Logitech Master MX mouse, so i went into the mouse software (called Logi Options) and I customised the scroll speed for Premiere Pro to about 20%. Now it works perfectly. Hope this could be helpful!

thank you!! I was having this problem and it's driving me nuts. Now if only I can figure out why the right click on clips on the timeline is such a small overlay forcing me to vertical scroll all the time to get to "label"

HOLY CRAP. I have been living with this issue for YEARS using a logitech mouse and always thought it was just a bug in Premiere. I switched from an M705 to an MX3 and it got WAY worse and I finally decided to google it. THANK YOU SO MUCH

Hey, guys!

This issue is still very much alive.

I tries lowering the scrolling speed so I can at least zoom out using the alt + mouse wheel. But since I'm switching through Windows and MacOS machines on a daily I'd love for this to getfixed on a Mac. Because I can really easily flick the  mouse wheel on windows and have it zoomed out whereas on Mac it just runs through a cycle of zooming out but always stops on the max zoom.

Maybe Adobe could find a real fix for this?

I'm using the same mouse and keyboard for windows and mac. Using the latest versions of OS and Premiere. This problem is just killing me
