Any Forum where I might get some answers.
I asked the question below earlier but it seems no one has any answers. I am searching for a forum which has a wider more dedicated premiere pro audience but I can’t seem to find one?
Can anyone recommend a good Premiere Pro online Forum? Please don’t think this is disrespectful but I have not used a Premiere forums in the past. Creative Cow is excellent in YouTube but I suspect the Forum is a little too small to get wider help.

Post Note: I just went to post this and it said you can’t use the word “help” in the subject line??? I have to say that seems a little strange. Who designed this forum? Have you never looked at any of the great Open source forum platforms out there like phpBB or similar. If your not sure what I mean I would be happy to help you. I have designed many forums for other sites and would happily help you improve this one.
===================
On CS5 when you add an image (say a .png) to a track, above or below a movie or title track, you can take the selection tool and click on the image in the preview window and the anchor point show immediately allowing you to re-size move or rotate the image.
In CS6 when an image is placed in the same manner, this image can’t select? Is that something I have done in the settings? Like in photoshop can you turn off the autoselect option in Premiere Pro.
Has anyone else noticed this.

I have cs 6 and can drop an image in and resize and reposition no problem.

OH,, OK Chris. That’s annoying, maybe I have inadvertently set something, to turn that function off. I can’t select the images and am having to jog them about using the effects control 🙁
I will have to dig deeper. If I get an answer I will let the thread know.
Anyone else getting this problem ?

Ahha!! Found out why. I am on a PC windows 7, this may be important.
I had been so used to Premiere CS5 letting me click the layers and have them selected that when I came to CS6 I saw no reason why they should change it “but they did” (silly sods) you or I now have to double click the layer to select it.
Now I don’t double click anything, I turn off double click on windows almost since windows ME and with win7, Vista etc it’s the first thing I do. Why click twice to what one click will do. As a result it is not in my nature to try double click, so when CS6 decide to make selection double click, I am not going to discover that, except for extreme chance.
So weeks in and extreme chance activated I have solved my problem. BUT why do adobe insist on peeing around with such trivial things??
I hope this one day helps someone.

I think this double clicking is grand.
If you want to adjust the top clip you do not have to select the clip anymore, just hover your playhead over the clip in the timeline and double click in the PM.———————————————–

The double-click is intentional – we found too many people would click to set the focus to the program monitor & inadvertently start panning footage because the direct manipulation mode would engage. By requiring a double-click, those accidents don’t happen anymore.

Its also the way most other NLE’s function, so glad they changed it.

I am pretty sure the would of RSI would not disagree. To select an image placed on a layer/track above a video track, needing to double click it rather than single clicking as it has always been makes no sense, whatsoever. I see no advantage, it wasn’t broken why fix it?

Chris just answered your question. Apparently it was broken. Now, you’ll have to learn to double-click like a man.

No one answered my Question Dick, I answered my own question. No one here had the answer So I politely decided to tell others how I solved my own issue. So get over it little girl 😉
I keep politeness for those that show it.
