Wacom users?
I’ve been using a Wacom tablet exclusively for the last 4 years or so, as it sped up my editing and reduced fatigue in my right hand. It works great in FCP, and in AE, PS, and AI, but in PP it constantly nudges things out of position, jumps off snap points, and when working with keyframes and rubber bands seems to throw the adjustments to the maximum every time.
Anyone else have this problem or found a way around it? CS6 is less mousy than its predecessors, but still demands more mouse input than I’m comfortable using an actual mouse for.

I hold down the command key a lot when I’m in a super detailed situation. Total fine tuning.

Thanks! Fixes my rubber band issue.

I have exactly the same complaint about PP. I use a small Bamboo, and it’s very frustrating to have clips jumping all over the place. The only solution I’ve found is to drag a clip and then hold the stylus PERFECTLY STILL for about a half second before letting go. Not an ideal fix.

Same here, the Wacom and keyframes really bite under Premiere. I have to use the “precision” editing feature from the Wacom drivers and even then it isn’t consistent.
We have two workstations with Intuos tablets here, a 4 Wireless and a 5 Medium, and they behave the same.
No such issues under other applications. Let’s all flood the Adobe Bug/Feature request right now:

I received a note the Wacom QA has confirmed the issue on CS5.5 and CS6. I recommended they be the one to open the dialogue with Adobe.
Hope everyone is well!

Have you heard any news about this? The audio keyframes snapping away from the pen tip is driving me nuts.
Also, dragging any of the values in the Title Tool has the same problem. Drag the position, the element moves as you drag, but when you release the pen tip, the value jumps — if you’ve moved the value a lot, the jump is large. If you move the value a little, the jump is small.

Hi Greg,
No update – I keep looking for a fix but nothing so far. I will contact Wacom later this week to see if there is any movement, though I have a feeling they believe it’s Adobe’s doing.
The message I received said the QA team repeated and confirmed the issue with CS5.5 and CS6 but it works fine in CS5 so there was a change somewhere that affected this.

I’ve been in touch with Wacom this past week as well, they’ve had me try several standard troubleshooting things (no USB hub, repair permissions, reinstall driver) , but the latest communication from them indicates my tablet (an older Bamboo model MTE-450) has obsolete technology.
Which tablet are you using?

Sorry — read upstream to see you’re using the newer Intuos line. I’ll let you know if I hear anything new.
