This one is a real pain. A lot of people like this feature when Lumetri panel is open, I don't. Is there an option to turn it off permanently? Currently, it gets checked automatically every-time I switch to the Lumetri Workspace. Seriously need a way to stop this behaviour!

That behaviour changed in 2018.

If you turn it off it stays off despite being in the Lumetri panel.

Hello Adobe, a lot of users are asking to be able to put this setting off... so annoying!

 

Please, do something about it!

 

Thanks.

Hi,

yes I know that. But it should be the opposite, if I need it, I'll turn it on.

For now, Adobe just oblige me to have it on because I like to see my scope when I'm working.

I know you love this feature, but it's not everybody. It's such annoying... for me.

Thank you

Bruno

I think the current default behavior makes the most sense.  You don't need scopes when editing.  You do need them when doing color work, which is where Selection Follows Playhead comes in handy.

Jim_Simon,

this is your opinion. Good for you if you like it. It's a good feature for sure. You're working your way and I'm working mine. I do need scope when I'm editing whatever you think about it.

The question wasn't :  do you think the current default behavior makes the most sense ?

I'd like that each user should be able to parameter this default feature as he wants to and we can't.

Well,

you seem to know what I hope, what I need and what is best for me. I appreciate, but it's not necessary.

I can do it in two clicks, that's right. But I have to do it so many times, because it's the default feature.

Maybe the solution is to have more resources. But this is another subject.

Thanks for your answers. In all respect, I do not need your opinion again on this topic. I hope we're done now.

Best regards

Hi,

I've been amazed at how much smoke & fury this question often gets. I've been in aisle-way discussions at NAB about it even. In a group of maybe five editors, everyone has a different idea of how this "should" should be set up.

 

While this feature is being refined, I hope this tip helps: you can set up a single-key keyboard short to change that setting while working. Just go into the Keyboard shorts panel, type "Selection fol ..." and the keyboard option will show. Select your key, save ... and go on working.

 

Neil

Thanks Neil,

maybe I should have asked if there was a way to put it off by default when using Lumetri Panels in the same time. The answer is : there's is no way. The best thing to do is to create a shortcut on your keyboard.

I wanted help but I got opinions on the way I work.

But you're right, everyone is free to comment.

Have a great day

If you change workspace and change back to a workspace that has the lumetri panel open, it will be on again.

I have several workspaces I jump around. one or 2 of them has lumetri panel. Whenever I go those workspaces, "selection follows playhead" is on automatically and remains so until I manually turn it off

Even on CC 2018

ADOBE again frustrated me to the point I ended here. And again I learned it is no way around it. Thank you Phase One, I am at least saved from Lightroom. Now Premiere is next to ditch after so many years.

It's madness. I grade clip by clip with curves and lumetry concurently (becasue lumetri work OK unly if curves are properly set before. And darn thing keeps turnig ON again. I updated Premiere Yesterday. What a FOOL I am (again). It was OK in CC2017 before update. Adobe keep's driving my life as it thinks it is good for me.

This is driving me absolutely insane.  I have to bounce in and out of many projects all day, and every time I come back in to a project or switch over to color grading it defaults back on.  I can sort of see it being helpful when being in the color panel, but even there I don't want it.  If I really want it, I can go turn it on.  I often color grade and continue making a few edits while in that workspace.  I thought I could live with it if it was only when going into Color, but no - every time I open a project that thing is defaulted back on. Why? Why won't that setting stick? Please change this Adobe.  I am on CC 2018.

I just did a search on this topic today because I was hoping there was a way OUT of this madness.  Ann Benns who supposedly had "the correct answer" is dead wrong, this is still a problem.  I usually keep my Lumetri tab in the same panel as my project tab, and when the Lumetri is brought to the foreground, "Selection Follows Playhead" gets turned on.  EVERY TIME.  If I'm not color grading, I can bring the project tab back to the foreground and "Selection Follows Playhead" automatically gets turned off (which must drive people who actually LIKE "Selection Follows Playhead" just as crazy as those of us who do not).  Another frustration is that I work with a partner who doesn't know the difference and always has it turned on, and when he passes me a project file and I open it, suddenly it's turned on in all my projects.  UGH.  Soooo many times I forget that this is the case and I start moving the wrong clip or something.  SO AGGRAVATING!!!!  Side note: I wish Premiere would prioritize MY settings since I already have a project open, and when I open someone else's project, it would conform to my layout and all my settings but instead everything is kind of how that other person had it, so if they are sloppy (which he IS) and they have panels floating all over the place and "Selection Follows Playhead" turned on (and probably some other annoying things I'm not thinking of at the moment), when I open his projects that is how everything opens up.  I suppose in this case, training my partner is the "workaround" but he just ignores me.

I found that if you toggle off the track targeting from the timeline, the "selection follows playhead" gets disabled.

There's an answer previously in this thread, and it works for my PC at work. I'm still trying to find an answer for my Mac at home. It's so annoying to have that thing constantly turning itself on.

Hey, Chris,

I moved this post to the "Ideas" forum. The plan is to merge the User Voice bug after the migration. I hope that's OK.

I knew that trick too but if you ever post that in any of the Premiere forums it gets removed due to it being unofficial. It's weird because I learned that from a Premiere certified expert. But there should be a preference to permanently turn that off.
