  • Pro16–Hovering option?

    Posted by Michael Kash on December 29, 2018 at 4:21 pm

    I am pretty sure my pro14 didn’t do this and kinda hard to explain. But whenever I hover over anything in the trimmer or project media the video follows the cursor without me clicking anything. Any way to disable that?

    I am pretty sure in 14 I had to click the mouse to make the timeline change.

    Its just annoying when I wanna drag something from the media bin to the timeline and sometimes I won’t get the entire event.

    Couple pictures that hopefully makes what I am trying to explain make more sense,lol.

    Hi Michael,

    Currently there is no way to turn this feature (Hoover Scrub) off. However there are a couple ways to ease your pain.

    1. Click on the clip in the Project Media bin to highlight it, press the ‘Enter’ key and the clip will be added to the track in the timeline at the cursor location.

    2. Double left click on the clip in the Project Media bin and it will be added to the cursor location in the track.

    3. Press and hold the left mouse button anywhere on the clip in the Project Media bin, then drag it straight down until you see the pointer change to a circle with a line through it and then drag in any direction after that to the location on the track you wish the clip to be added.

    NOTE: When initially dragging the clip from the Project Media bin you don’t have to drag it straight down, but straight enough to avoid the scrub feature. The angle down is about between 4:40 and 7:30 of a clock face. Hope this helps.

    Best Regards……George

    Yeah….. This needs to be rethought. Don’t like it.

    I like it for my style of editing as it is similar to Resolve, however I think there should be an option to turn the scrub off, as well as, make the scrub in/out points dependent on keyboard shortcut keys like ‘I’ and ‘O’.

    Best Regards……George
