An option to revert the Mouse scroll change Program Monitor

I've got a list of things for both Premiere and Resolve I'd like changed ... and actually had a

couple of my Premiere requests get supported and done.

Resolve ... yea, they've fixed many things, changed some, but the things I'd be interested in they aren't probably gonna go for. Like some of the color things in Premiere ... I'm told that 1) yea, that would be killer but 2) you and maybe 20 other people would actully use it.

And at that point, realistically, it ain't gonna happen. So I work in both while very aware that I'd love changes. Ah well, we are all different. Nature of being human.

At least, thankfully, Tangent has been able to create an addition to their mapping software that allows one to map a few more things to their panels than Resolve allows. Resolve added support for say the Elements panel back about R12, or so ... and it was pretty basic, with most of the panel 'dead' at any one time. And a weird way of getting through options to get the things they did map "up".

BlackMagic does not allow any other hardware maker to natively connect to Resolve using standard API things. The only way they allow, is with their devs creating the 'map' ... and you better believe, it's gonna be a limited one.

Understandable, as Resolve is provided now clearly as a loss leader to get people to buy BlackMagic hardware. The sales of the Studio licenses probably barely cover the cost of the licensing system ... if that. As with a lot of BM kit, you get a 'free' Studio license.

And yea, I've got enough BM kit to have a couple extra licenses in the drawer, I'll probably use at some point. Ursa Mini Pro 4.6k G2, BMPCC4K, a couple Atem units ... all of which I love using. The cameras produce amazing media for the price.

But the Resolve UI is to me back-side unpretty .... ahem. And as you can't customize, and I'm so used to Premiere I've got nine custom workspaces, and use a ton of shorts, AND ... that Elements panel? 

Wow ... in Premiere an Elements panel does everything. I can use it for size/position rotation of any screen item including text & graphics. Track mixer control ... those twelve knobs are awesome ... the balls & rings are handy for 'trackball' mouse work, one set fast, one slow. 

In Resolve, all it does is a few things from the Color page. But nothing of any tool added since R12, and according to the staffers at NAB, ain't gonna get anything else either. Period.

The new "Warp Engine" from Tangent at least made it so I can map the Color Slice and HDR palettes to my panel. Which are actually pretty slick for basic log neutralization and matching. In Rec.709 ... yea, works nice.

But I still can't use it for audio or anything. Sigh.

Thanks, @R Neil Haugen 

That's true about Resolve. I use it regularly as an alternative and have been planning to move over because 1. there's only a one-off payment for studio version, 2. it has a large suite of tools beyond what Premiere alone offers, 3. it's good not to rely only on the main players like Adobe, 4. it's Australian and deserves support, 5. they're pretty responsive to requested functions, and 6. there's a lot more of a user base now.

Why haven't I moved over? 1. Premiere's workflow and layout suits me better, 2. I can do more with keystroke shortcuts in Premiere, 3. some clients want to share the Premiere files,  4. Premiere has a good user-supporter base (you and others) and 5. I've been too busy.

Back to the topic, this slippery sizing problem is very offputting and surely wouldn't take much to rectify. Right?

Resolve has a far less customizable UI, and is still missing many keyboard shorts compared to Premiere or Avid. But for some editing uses is entirely adequate.

My many colorist buds do have long lists of hoped for things there also. Sadly none of these apps are near perfect.

Just spent hours correcting auto-generated subtitles (lots of misplaced punctuation, upper and lower case letters, uneven text lines, but that's not the big gripe here) and the super-slippery sizing of the program monitor window pushed my sanity to the edge.

Come on, throw an option button in here. Or is this what will finally push us all the way to Da Vinci Resolve?

Still not fix to this?

Any workaround?

This makes me want to get an external jog wheel, however not much available for Premiere Pro...

It wasn't that long ago that Chrome moved the downloading tab/notification at the bottom to the current top Download arrow and circle. I noticed using it normally the other day, like it was always there.

I agree. Old style of mouse wheel was much better, it's much faster. Just add option so user can select what he wants to do: scroll frame by frame or zoom, it's so easy, just few lines of code. Old style was better for montage, new style is better for adding effects, just let user select what he needs right now.

@alexandre_8289 , I'm getting used to it. At times we have to click on little buttons, and pancake menus, wrench menus, turn on/off snapping, etc, etc... so, that's a giant target by comparison.

Just add the OPTION to use the original frame-by-frame timeline scrolling when using mousewheel over the program monitor, and EVERYONE will be happy. This is NOT difficult.

The Play Button area where you have to do this now is WAY too small and slows down the workflow

It's not a bug, that's the new way it is. Like AI, PS, AE, etc... zoom the monitor.

You'll get used to it. BTW: The zoom drop-down right on the screen changes as you zoom, if it doesn't say "Fit" you know your seeing some other view, zoomed in, some bits are not seen, zoomed out, you're seeing more of your surroundings.
