  • Strange Problem…Can’t right click on some clips!?

    Posted by Jeremiah Belt on December 4, 2012 at 8:03 pm

    This is a very strange issue. In some sequences I don’t have this issue, but in my current primary sequence I cannot right click on clips in the timeline. I can select them and do anything else just the right click popup will not come up. Right click anywhere else in the interface and the usual right click menu comes up. Change sequence and suddenly I can right click on clips. The layers are not locked. What’s going on? Anyhone run into such a strange annoying issue? I need to be able to copy and paste attributes and check properties of each clip and right clicking is the easiest method. Sooo annoying.

    I just copied everything out of the sequence into a new sequence with the same settings and I can suddenly right click on everything again!? I’m wondering if it has to do with the xml import from FCP? Hmmmm

    I got the same thing. Restarted the computer and everything worked again.

    Restarting didnt’ help me but it seemed to be associated with letting that clip go into a nest. Nests can be a bit finicky and i’m always discovering new glitches with them. Over time they’ve gotten more reliable, but this is the latest. Killed the nest, copied the nested clip back into the timeline, and it started working again.

    I’m having the same problem. I’m not able to right click on sequences. I have to use the menu to duplicate. Restarting does not help.

    This seems to be a beautiful new bug from the last premiere update…
    I had the same bug. To solve this, i realized you have to close the timelines panels.. Then you can right click again… As soon as the timeline is open, you can not right click anymore, unless you close the timeline again..

    was experiencing this same bug as well as my cursor not changing icon according to the tool i had selected. Both seem to have been solved by changing workspace or resetting current one to a saved layout.

    I switched the workspace back and forth from workspace presets. Worked for me.

    Yes, changing the workspace will solve your problem, I had it too

    Yep. Having the same problem. And I just did what you said, Francois, and you’re right, closing the timelines allows you to right click on the video clips in the project panel. However, to extend the issue, whenever I drag the video files that I cannot right click into the timeline, everything freezes accept for keyboard shortcuts. I can save my project with the keyboard, but my mouse becomes absolutely useless inside of premiere. This is definitely a new bug from the most recent update of premiere. Francois, are you running Adobe Premiere Pro CC 2015.2? Just want to make sure it’s an update problem. I’ve never had this problem before.
