    Hey guys! I really hope someone can help because this is making me insane.

    ISSUE: When editing video, I’ll hit the SPACE bar to play / pause video. Rather than playing / pausing, it often starts pulling down the drop-down file menus, dinging with error sound, and just keeps on playing.

    It’s EXTREMELY frustrating! By the time I’ve clicked back on the work area, my video as gone past the edit point, I have to scrub back through and I may end up repeating the process.

    What. The. Heck???

    Thanks for your thoughts in advance.

    Brandon,

    A little more info would be useful so people can help you with your issue.

    What Operating System (Mac / PC)?
    What version of Premiere are you on?
    Are you using Default Keyboard Shortcuts or customized?
    Do you share this computer with anyone? Possibly being pranked?
    Have you reset your Premiere Preferences?

    Sure thing.

    Windows 10 (PC)
    Premiere Pro CC 2015
    Default keyboard
    No, not shared
    Default config, I haven’t reset prefs
    I’ve been using Premiere for about 8 years, but it’s not my top-used Adobe product

    Thanks.
