[Now released] STOP SWITCHING TO THE NEXT CLIP WHEN I'M TRYING TO MANIPULATE KEYFRAMES

This is super annoying. I create a keyframe, let's say a motion keyframe. Set it to 50. Then create another one, set it to 100 and put it at the end of the clip. Then I scroll to the second keyframe and suddenly, Premiere has switched me to the next clip in the timeline for some reason. This is so annoying. Even moreso when I'm using my mouse to move the scrubber around, sometimes it juts me all the way to the end of the timeline. I can't imagine a scenario where I would want this behavior.

Hi all, 

 

Thanks to everyone who requested this change. In Premiere Pro v25.2 and later, the timeline no longer jumps to the next clip when trying to add a keyframe to the last frame of a clip in the Effects control panel.

If you've got any questions or comments about this change, please post them in our forum. 

 

Regards,

Fergus

As Kevin mentioned, this was addressed and is available in recent builds of Premiere Pro.  I wanted to send confirmation and also a heads up to those that haven't had a chance to check it out.   Thank you for the feedback and patience.

Try out the latest Beta. I believe this is fixed.

I couldn't agree more. I hate it when I'm trying to set keyframes and the scroll wheel advances the frame.

I think we can ALL agree that going to the next clip is the most annoying thing about animating keyframes in Premiere. I can't believe they've added this functionality in the first place. Please just remove this feature.

I concur with Matt Lyon, having a margin would solve much in my day-to-day.
I am often in those situations described by Pierre Louis Beranek and would also appreciate key commands locking my focus in place.

Hi all, curious what everyone thinks of this idea: modify the default view of the ECP so there is some runway on either side of the clip bounds (see attached image). This is similar to how AVID behaves. I think this would provide an elegant solution to a lot of the issues people are facing. It would be much easier to accurately place keys at or beyond the clip bounds; it would be easier to lasso keys; it would be easier to fine tune bezier curves; and it would just generally be a less cramped way of representing the information. And in many cases, it would eliminate the need to toggle between "pin to clip" in the option menu.

I think it would be a big help if the default "last keyframe" of a clip would always be the BEGINNING of the last visible keyframe, and not the end of it, aka the start of the next clip. And turning off "pin to clip" makes the program glitch out and fast forwards me to the very end of the sequence, so I always have "pin to clip" on.
