  • Color Picker on Premiere CC not working

    Posted by Harry Pallenberg on September 2, 2014 at 6:47 pm

    I read a bunch of old posts talking about the picker not working, but I figured they would be fixed by now? Is there something I’m missing? I disconnected my second monitor, full restart and still nothing..
    or I should say it always picks black.

    Running OSX 10.9.4 Premiere CC 2014 on an old iMac iCore7.

    Thanks,
    Harry

    Got an answer on a different board…

    If you increased the size of the cursor (and mouse pointer) through System Prefs>Accessibility>Display — that’s known to interfere with the Color Picker tool. Resetting the pointer to normal size will resolve the problem.

    Worked for me.

    Thanks,

    Hi, Im having that issue, too.
    Macbook Pro i7 , Mountain Lion with a Cinema Display thru thunderbolt.
    Every time I try to pick a color, the picker disappears and turns back into the arrow. Only happens on my secondary monitor, if I drag the pick whip to the MBP screen it stays and lets me do the color correction.
    It’s pretty annoying since I use my MBP screen only with the timeline and the other monitor with the rest (Project files, source monitor, effects, effects control and program monitor).

    Thanks 🙂

    This might be a bit late, but my color picker in Premiere, with 8.2 (cc 2014) or CC2015 is not working….and nobody knows what’s going on……I really do wish Adobe would fix this bug……
