  • spacebar preview doesn’t always stop on second spacebar press

    Posted by Joe Kaye on February 18, 2018 at 6:04 pm

    Lately in AE (one of the recent updates) the spacebar preview has started behaving a bit wonky – about 20% of the time when I’m playing a preview and try to stop it (with a 2nd spacebar press) it just carries on playing regardless

    Does anyone know if this is a bug or a setting?

    you will get used to it. To make sure it happens less uncheck all boxes in your preview window. play from current time

    [Richard Garabedain] “you will get used to it”
    Ha, I wish – it isn’t happening all the time and I’m an editor so i spend half my time on programs like avid that do respond to start/stops reliably. I’m finding it really distracting to have to pause and wait for AE when I’m ready to work on something right by where the playhead was…

    I can’t say the same for my machine – plenty of restarts and it’s been going on for a few weeks

    I’ve sent a bug report
