Why can't I mark in and out points in the source panel?

[bartonlew]

I was editing my audio track with no issues by hitting "i" and "o" in my source panel and doing insert edits into my timeline, and must have selected some option by mistake that is now preventing me from marking "i" and "o" in the source panel.  Nothing happens when I hit these keyboard shortcuts now.  What would prevent my doing this?  Thanks.

The only thing I can think of which would explain this behavior is that the Source Monitor is no longer the active panel.

Thank you, but I had made the Source Monitor the active panel when trying to do the insert edit.  I saved the project, exited Premiere, reopened, and am able to continue editing.

Yeah, that will fix a lot of weirdness.

I saved and exited Premiere like you, but the problem happened again. I repeated the previous solution, but it happened again and much sooner. I can't keep saving and exiting Premiere every five seconds. Has anyone found an actual solution for this?

This is also happening to me.  I can set an out point but not an in. If I close and reopen sometimes I am able to. Still this is a terrible problem to be having. Please someone help! 😭

If you have grouped your source monitor, try undocking it.  After I undocked my source monitor I was able to use my keyboard shortcuts.

Don't have a solution either, but this is the exact same thing happening to me. 😞

Having the same problem.  Working in a Team Project, in the Source Panel and can set Out, but not In.  Very weird.

Hey! I too just came across this issue and I undocked my source monitor and I now can use my keyboard shortcuts.

make sure the clip in the source moniter is the actualy clip and not your sequence from your timeline. It just happened to me and I was so confused but then realised that I had put my sequence into the source moniter instead of the clip of what I wanted.
