Dragging the crop region/window

[Jon Barrie]

Sadly I can confirm that you have indeed found a Mac only Bug. Crop behaves unexpectedly and differently to the PC version of the same plugin.

Please file a bug report:

I too have filed a bug report on this so if you do one too, the more the higher the possibility of it being brought forward to a fix.

They do get a massive listing and only have so many hours/hands to fix them.

Thanks Jonny! Talked to engineering today and they confirmed it is a Windows only feature. Request the feature for getting it onto Macs. https://www.adobe.com/go/wish

Thanks guys for re-assuring me I’m not losing my mind! In the examples we’re watching, the instructor drags the crop region around different parts of the scene to look at scopes for color grading, so, he may drag to a region to check a grey card, then drag to a face to check skin tones, drag to another face to check discrepancies between tones, etc. I could see that it would be useful for this, but I’ll just have to manually move the handles. It’s definitely a more tedious process that way though. Will do a request. Thanks again!

IF that is the reason you are using it, you could use the track matte option and have a title draw up a shape, then move and resize the matte clip.

Do you know how to use the track matte effect?

Thanks for the suggestion Jon, I’ll try the track matte today. I learned the basics of Premiere a while ago, but I’m sure I’ll figure that one out right quick.

Thanks again for your help!
