Kangaroo is a powerful layer duplicator for After Effects. Perfect for creating patterns, background, loops, loaders, extrusion and grids. Just duplicate once and let Kangaroo do the rest.

Meh. Fixed the Premiere problem for me – but introduced a whole raft of other problems – general of the form – OS or various software is behaving like it is getting a CLICK+COMMAND press, when just a click has been made with the pen….
… which means that ‘clicking’ an app in the dock, actually command-clicks it – thereby revealing the app in finder, rather than opening it…
And causes giant amounts of command-clicking problems…
weirdly, it does it some of the time, not all of the time…
Am going to start researching WACOM ALTERNATIVES soon… getting pretty over this…

This SOLVED the problem for me.
Eventually, via Wacom support:
Can you follow the instructions on the pdf file attached here and try these versions of the driver:
Remember to uninstall the driver installed in your computer before reinstalling a new one.
Current – Driver 6.3.18-4 for Mac

Hi Tero – I’d already messaged ADOBE, and gotten no reply. Wacom have at least written back, but so far their efforts of instructing me to try various drivers have proven fruitless. For me, Premiere and the tablet have behaved weirdly for the last couple of years, but it was at least manageable. With the 2015.4 Premiere update though, that changed, and being completely unable to adjust effect parameters with the wacom pen is so super annoying… Hoping for a fix….

Here is a video (1.8mb) of the problem: https://www.dropbox.com/s/2h71pt93v2y7jsn/WACOM_Premiere_problems.mp4?dl=0
Clearly the pen is unable to adjust any Adobe Premiere Effects parameters… which can be changed fine with the mouse / trackpadhttps://skynoise.net/projects

Sounds like the same experience I’ve been having.
I’m on an Intuous 4 tablet – if I use the latest driver for that (sep 2015), i have all the problems you’ve mentioned.
I tried installing the latest wacom driver (2016) for their newer tablets – which fixed the problem in premiere for me – i could now click-drag and change effects parameters – *but* – it ended up giving me a bad experience system wide… often giving results like i’m command-clicking or option-clicking.. so i’ve had to revert to the other driver – and use the trackpad for adjusting effects parameters.This issue is a pain in the ass, and is all the more annoying because it *only* happens in the premiere part of the adobe suite…
and in fact happens with no other software at all – only premiere.https://skynoise.net/projects

Alas – I’ve had these Wacom-Intuos4+Premiere problems for ages – and they’ve only gotten worse with 15.4 – the cursor now disappears when I try the click+drag some FX parameter numbers in the Effects Control panel…
Unfortunately Wacom’s latest driver for the Intuos 4 is from Sep 2015.
Have tried using the older tablet driver recommended –
https://downloadeu.wacom.com/pub/Mac/pro638-2.dmgbut regardless of using latest or that one, still get the same crap-tacular, workflow destroying problems…
Have left a bug report with Adobe,
Would love to know of anyone else who has figured out solutions…

There’s two options:
– playback of separate (but related) files on separate machines / networked devices (that can be synced with midi / osc etc )– acquire an external device to play back 1 x very wide video ( eg 2 or 3 screens wide ) – while ‘tricking’ your computer into thinking it now has one wide display. The device will take care of splitting up that wide image to separate screens.
Cheapest option: the triplehead to go ( there’s a few varieties ) https://www.matrox.com/graphics/en/products/gxm/th2go/displayport/
Better : Datapath
