*SOLVED* Can't zoom in on Effect Controls panel to adjust keyframes

[Radial Monster]

premiere 13.1.5 build 47, windows 10

I can't zoom in to view keyframes well.  Other clips are ok, and even this one clip if I put the playhead coser to the beginning of clip it allows zoom.

Have you tried Unchecking Pin to Clip?

[Radial Monster]

I'm sorry I don't know what unpin to clip, and searching isn't helping find what that is.  Can you give more clue what that is / how to do?

[Ann Bens · Accepted solution]

Select Clip,

Go to hamburger menu in Effect Controls,

Right click and uncheck Pin to Clip at the bottom of the dropdown menu.

It took me a while to work out what a hamburger menu was but then all was gresat the solution worked thanks

What is the hamburger menu?! I can't find it...why do smart people always have to answer in riddles...can you help me, please?

[Ann Bens]

Hamburger menu as in panel menu.

[Kevin-Monahan]

Good question.

The hamburger menu is a term that editors sometimes use to describe what is officially called "The Panel Menu" in Premiere Pro. You can blame Avid for that one where it actually looks even more like a burger. As the former documentation lead, this is something I can ruminate about.

Thanks,

Thank you @Ann Bens !! Such a weird thing, but you saved the day! 🙂

this has been annoying me so much and I couldn't figure out how to phrase it when looking it up lol.

thank you so much for this!

This also tripped me up when coming from Final Cut Pro 7 to Premiere Pro CS5. I think FCP had no Pin to Clip feature; it's always off. I like to drag keyframes before and after cuts and transitions.

Thanks,
Kevin

That did it, I dont know how that was checked but unchecking it allows me to zoom again thanks so much

[Ann Bens]

Checked is the default setting.

[Radial Monster]

Really, thats odd because I checked like all my other clips and none of them I looked at are checked Pin to Clip.  anyway, i'm fixed now thxx

I think Pin to Clip is a setting for the Effect Controls panel, and not a clip-dependent setting.  So once you turn it off, it's always going to be off when you work in that panel.

[Radial Monster]

Also I was still reading about this and just found that you've been educating people about this for over 8 years! Thanks again 

[Ann Bens]

Aha, were did you read that?

I have been around these forums since 2004.

I was trying to learn more about what pin to clip does and came across this and recognized your name aha  http://blogs.adobe.com/kevinmonahan/2011/09/19/controlling-keyframe-placement-with-pin-to-clip/

[Kevin-Monahan]

That blog post does not exist any longer. Maybe I can dig it up from the grave.

Thanks,

Found it on the Wayback Machine and revived the blog post to my website: How to zoom in on the Effect Controls panel to adjust keyframes.

I'll create a FAQ for it when I have a moment.

Thanks,

When moving the playhead on the timeline, the clip that the timeline is over gets automatically selected.  That in itself isn't great, but I can deal with it.  The problem comes when I turn off Pin to Clip, then, in the Effect Controls panel, if I scroll past the ends of the clip, the timeline jumps to the next clip because it automatically selects it.  So you can't really place any keyframes outside the edges of the clip.

Does anyone know how to turn off the automatic clip selection that I'm talking about?  (I can make a short video to show what I'm talking about if needed)

Turn off Selection follows Playhead under Sequence.

That is when Pin to Clip comes in or rather to turn it off.
