  • keyboard shortcut for continuous step playback or playing frame by frame in timeline???

    Posted by Nicholas Natteau on October 26, 2014 at 5:30 pm

    I know that to play anything back in the timeline frame by frame, you have to repeatedly tap the left or right arrow keys.

    But is there a way to modify that Premiere shortcut so that simply holding down the arrow key down allows you to play frame by frame without having to repeatedly tap the key? I believe that was possible in FCP7 but not sure how it’s done in Premiere.

    Hi Kevin,

    I’m using CC 2014.1 (the very last version) as of this month.

    Hi Nicholas,
    You can try trashing preferences or reinstalling. If that doesn’t work, please file a bug: https://adobe.ly/ReportBug

    Hi Kevin,

    Just did uninstalled and reinstalled PPCC, but I’m still having the same issue.

    If I want to move backward or forward frame by frame and I keep the left or right arrow key pressed down, it takes Premiere a full second to move frame by frame, is that normal??? Though of course it moves much faster frame by frame if I repeatedly press the left/right arrow keys.

    I had the impression that in both legacy FCP7 and FCPX, when moving frame by frame, it didn’t matter whether you repeatedly press the arrow keys or keep them pressed down, the cursor moved just as fast either way. I wish that were the case with Premiere. Is there no option in settings to tweak that?
