    Indeed I have the same problem here that shown in the video, as well as a problem with weird Scrolling in the timeline when using the PEN with Intuos 4.

    Please WACOM fix it!

    hey there,

    I’d just like to report exactly the same complaint as the others have experienced. I use an Intuos 2 (had it for years!) to edit and do… well everything with (FCP, Avid, 3dsMAX, After Effects, Photoshop you name it) and in Premiere CS6 it’s finicky. The rubber band issue is particularly annoying because the pen usually excels at precisely controlling bezier handles etc, I also happen to use a mouse in the other hand, so I can switch on the fly, but it’s annoying and the bug shouldn’t be there.

    I’m glad there’s an ongoing discussion of this bug, hopefully it’ll bring resolution sooner.

    Or perhaps I can just fast forward to the future where I can use a pair of trackpads, one for each hand 😉

    100% fixed in Adobe Premiere Pro CC. This was one of my biggest pushes on the Adobe team during the CC development.

    Funny, I believe they promised bug fixes for CS6. I reported this to them when CS6 was released 6.0 – and nothing. Wacom themselves confirmed it was a bug in CS6 immediately.

    Kind of shameful for them not to give perpetual users a fix.

    [Petros Kolyvas] “Kind of shameful for them not to give perpetual users a fix.”

    From what I gathered it was not a simple fix. Something had to be done under the hood that was beyond just a simple bug fix.

    Whenever I need precise controls in CS6 I just switch to a mouse. The Pen is good for about 90% of my work in CS6.

    while it’s not the biggest burden to switch to the bar of soap (mouse), it interrupts your flow, which can be irritating especially when you’re just trying to bust through a lot of repetitive tasks quickly and your device is being inaccurate and slowing you down.

    I hate fighting with the tools, there should be no reason to given that the tools are hardly new… is this the wrong place to add I’d like a nice big timecode window in Premier like Avid has had for years…? not to mention being able to see absolute time in the source monitors instead of only source timecode (again Avid had this locked down forever ago)

    A bug is a bug.

    Ultimately, and this sounds rude but it’s not – it’s reality, whether the bug is complex or not, that’s not my problem.

    It wasn’t there it wasn’t in CS5, it’s not there in CC, and Adobe reps did promise (quite loudly) bug fixes for CS6 users of which there are many.

    [Sney Noorani] ” is this the wrong place to add I’d like a nice big timecode window in Premier like Avid has had for years”

    That one they have in CS6 (and earlier), you can add a Timecode panel, select the timecode you’d like displayed and you can adjust it as large as you like. Here’s a screenshot from a current edit:

    I fully agree. In fact, my primary audio/video station has no mouse/trackpad attached to it – only a Wacom Intuos5. So using a mouse is not an option.

    It’s not 100% fixed for me — yes, dragging audio keyframes on clips works now, but I still have the overshoot problem when scrubbing values (usually X and Y position) in the Title Tool. Other UI elements also still exhibit this behavior.

    Running CC on a Mac Pro 4,1.
