Scrubbing

Specific to Premiere Elements Version 12.

Scrubbing

Postby Walter Seaton » Tue Sep 15, 2015 5:08 pm

What happened to the scrub control in PRE12? It seems to be only available when capturing footage. I found it very useful while assembling a show in PRE8 and previous.

Can you describe the control, Walter? What happened when you did what?

Since version 13 doesn't capture tape-based video, I'm not sure where you would scrub captured video.

Walter I think the scrubber went away in either version 11 or 12. Here are two screen shots, one with the scrubber in version 10 and one without the scrubber in version 13.

Was the scrubber a way to move through and view footage quickly? If so, I've really been wishing I had something that would work like that.

Yes, that's exactly what it did. Move it to the right for Fast Forward and to the left for Fast Reverse. Depending on how far you moved the slider/scrubber would depend on how fast the video rolled. It was a great tool and I used it a lot, one of the reasons I have been unhappy with the evolution of Premiere Elements.

I don't see the scrubber in Premiere Pro anymore either. I suppose they figured that it was just as easy to use the CTI to move back and forth but it isn't the same and doesn't work as well as the scrubber did.

I see. I was hoping PrePro would have it and that I just hadn't found it yet. Do I remember being able to move a line under a video in the thumbnails to move through quickly in PrePro? That's what I've been thinking I need to do. Or maybe that is in After Effects.

Lots of times I'd like to move back and/or forth in a slower than normal speed to be able to find and stop on a single frame. For now it is left or right arrow one frame at the time and it can take an awfully long time.

I know it's not the same as the scrubber, but have you tried using the keyboard J-K-L keys. "J" is for reverse or slow down. "L" is for forward and speed up. "K" is to stop. When the "shift" key is held down at the same time, the speed starts out slow. Repeatedly tap the "J" or the "L" keys to increase speeds. If you press the keys and nothing happens, click on the head of the CTI , and try again. The CTI has to be selected so it can have the focus.

These keys are used in other applications for a similar purpose, I just can't recall which applications.

Thanks RJ, I would rather just use the CTI and move it back and forth. The keyboard method just doesn't work for me and is not even close to how easy it was to use the scrubber.

Paz, It doesn't exist in After Effects anymore either :(

RJ,

Thanks for posting those shortcuts. I'll give them a try.

I learned the keyboard shortcuts in my first version of Photoshop. Next version Adobe changed them. Since then I've gone through menus except for a few things like undo, cut, zoom in and out, deselect and such. Now that I'm using CS6 versions for the foreseeable future, I may as well learn to use the current ones! Who knows... I might like them.

There is a way to scrub through thumbnails in PrePro CS6. (Not sure about After Effects). I'm trying to learn to use Camtasia and made a short (perhaps not short enough, um, er, ah, well...duh!!! ) demo. It can at least help find out a particular segment fairly quickly without having to take time to sit through every clip.

Sorry the video blurry. I saved at the 1080P highest rate but Camtasia saved at 720P. Also I noticed it saved the video at 50%. I don't see any Preferences to change it. Next time I'll try saving directly to YouTube to see if it is any better.

I think that control was referred to as the shuttle or shuttle slider. I don't know about Premiere Elements, but that went away beginning with Premiere Pro CS6. Same with the jog wheel. The shuttle slider and jog wheel in Premiere Pro were meant to simulate the mechanical controls on the old film editing machines the studios used. The shuttle moved the film to the general area where the editor wanted to work and the jog wheel positioned the film to the precise frame where it was to be cut or spliced. From what I've heard, that was to make it easier for editors to transition to the new world of digital NLEs.

I missed the shuttle when I first upgraded to CS6, but, once I got used to working with CS6 I didn't miss it. I like the zoom scroll bar that was introduced in CS6 to navigate the timeline. If I drag the end of the zoom scroll bar left or right I can zoom into or out of the timeline. Zoom way out and it's easy to move the cti to wherever you want quickly -- you can either drag the cti or you can position the cursor over the timecode and scrub left or right. Then, if you want, zoom in as close as you want to work. The cti will remain in the visible portion of the timeline. If you are zoomed in and can't see the entire timeline in the timeline panel, you can keep the same zoom level and slide the zoom scroll bar to change the part of the timeline visible in the window. The cti doesn't move when you do that, but, if it goes outside the visible area, you can click on the ruler and the cti will move to where you clicked.

So it seems I am not alone - thanks to all who contributed comments. Perhaps in some future incarnation Adobe will think fit to reinstate this very useful tool.

For those that have Premiere Pro CS6 or later, the J-k-l keys can also be used for dynamic trimming. Here's a video tutorial that explains and demonstrates that feature: https://www.video2brain.com/en/lessons/jkl-trimming
