Can’t Click a Keyframe Precisely
I’m pretty frustrated here – but this should be an extremely simple question where I’m missing something small. Coming from 3ds max and AE, I’ve never seen a keyframing issue like this before.
As I edit keyframes, I place the playhead on the key. However, when I make adjustments on a keyframe in the Effect Controls, it either places a new key on the left or right of the one I want to edit. Even if I zoom in ALL the way right on a keyframe, it STILL puts one on the left or right.
What’s Extremely odd is that I can only place the playhead on frame increments (which is logical), yet I’m able to place a keyframe BETWEEN frames. This can’t be right…
In AE, I can clearly tell when I’m on a keyframe because it places the red line dead-center of the diamond. In Premiere, it is literally impossible to set the marker in the center of a keyframe diamond at times. No matter how precisely I’m clicking in the center of the diamond (even fully zoomed in), it always places the marker just a pinch to the left or right of the keyframe. Please help me before I punch a hole in my screen. 😛
Below are 2 videos demonstrating the issue:

How did you get the keyframes in the first place.

most of the time, I just scrub the playhead to where I want a keyframe and then input a value – which places a keyframe. I don’t typically hit the keyframe button (the diamond) to make keyframes. Is this bad practice?

In your second video, you showed exactly how to move the CTI to the exact keyframe marker, you click either the left or right arrow.
This is the fastest way to access existing keyframes.“when I make adjustments on a keyframe in the Effect Controls, it either places a new key on the left or right of the one I want to edit”
You also show the reason for this, it’s because you’re not positioned on the key, so a new one is added at the new position. Again, just use the arrows, not the scrubber.Clicking the stopwatch is a fine way of adding an initial keyframe.
I don’t really see an issue, here. It’s just a matter of getting used to the behaviors of Premiere.
