Activity Forums Adobe Premiere Pro CS6 Selection Tool not active in layers

  • CS6 Selection Tool not active in layers

    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.

    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.
