Multicam keyboard whackiness
Can’t quite figure this one out, I’m running PP 2.0. In my multicam monitor, my keyboard space bar is causing my timeline curser to jump to the end of the clip. Same for the play button in the window.
I have no way to play from the multicam window monitor.
All my keyboard play shortcuts work fine in the all of the timelines, just not in the multicam monitor window.
I checked my preferences and keyboard shortcuts have not been changed in there.
My keyboard is the Bella EZ Pro series for PPro, but quite certain that is not the problem.
Any suggestions?

3 Things I can think of.
1. Check under control panel and double-click keyboard icon. There are options for speed etc. Under hardware tab, check to see if your Bella keyboard is being recognized correctly.
2. You might try holding the shift key down the next time you launch Premiere, which will re-create the preference file.(if you haven’t already done so.)
3. It is possible some other hardware device is sharing hardware resources with your keyboard. Not a Premiere problem, but as you can imagine, multi-cam editing is most taxing to your system setup, and why this may be the only time you are seeing issues.
Lastly, it is possible to remap the keyboard, but you would be seeing the same behavior in other applications. If you are not seeing any strange keyboard anomalies in other applications, then the shift key on next launch might fix the problem.

This can also happen if you have multiple sequences in the timeline or just a single timeline where you have changed a previously rendered effect or transition and have not yet rerendered. Doing a render of that part of the timeline often rectifies this issue.

Thanks for your reponses guys.
I think I’ve corrected the problem by updating Cineform (I was way overdue, but it hadn’t given me any issues in the past.) Once the latest 4.x version was installed, the keyboard performed correctly.
I think the rendering was part of the issue.
This is only a 2 cam edit, so there were four sequences in the timeline. Whenever I would click to play in the multicam monitor, the files would be rendered and then the strange behaviour would occur immediately after rendering. And the problem only occurred in the multicam monitor.
No effects had yet been applied to the other timelines.
Thanks again for your replies.
