CTI Doesn't Move with Arrow Keys PE12

I am running into a glitch in Premiere Elements 12. When I nudge the CTI (playhead) using the arrow keys it moves only 1 frame no matter how many times I press the over arrow. The audio continues to scrub and the time indicator continues to change for each frame, but the CTI itself is stuck and no longer represents the proper location.
Anyone solved this?
I am using a MacBook Pro running OS 10.8.5.

Thanks ATR for you reply, here I will try to explain my findings.
My hw. sw. setup
MACBook Pro, OS X 10.9.4, 16Gb, licensed Premiere Elements 12.1 upgraded from 12.0
Just to confirm....are you saying that if you do just a one tap on the right or left arrow key, the Timeline Indicator will move 1 frame.              YES (if slow repeat).
But, if you hold down and continue to hold down on the right of the right or left arrow key, the Timeline Indicator will not go into a continuing movement?     YES.
>> Today I have found that this problem only show up in ”Expert” edit mode and not in ”Quick” mode.
      1. Current Timeline Indicator (CTI) only move/jump one frame when I first start to hold right or left key pressed, after this first jump CTI will stop to move,
            my movie and time counter will move and count as expected.
      2. If I repeat pressing right or left key with a speed faster than one press per 3seconds the CTI will be stopped, slower repeat than every 3 second then CTI will move on every key press.
      3. Note1   when CTI not move during continue key press or fast repeat R/L (< 3sec) the accumulated new CLI position will show up as a long jump on next press after 3sec paus.
      4. Note2   I have also verifies with my Win7 friend with a new installed PE 12.1 running just fine without this CTI problem. (MAC version only??)
If so, several things that I would like you to do if you have not already....
1. Delete the Adobe Premiere Elements Prefs file which should be found
    Users\Libraries\Application Support\Adobe\Premiere Elements\12
>> After I delete the Adobe Premiere Elements Prefs file I did restart PE12 program and created a new project ( an new PE Prefs was automatic create in the same directory as expected)
      But unfortunately my problem is still there.
2. In the opened project, go to Edit Menu/Preferences/General and experiment with the Timeline Playback Auto-Scrolling Options (No Scroll, Page Scroll, and Smooth Scroll).
ATR Premiere Elements Troubleshooting: PE12/12.1: Timeline Playback Auto-Scrolling
>> Thanks, here I found lot of good reading but your suggestion to change the Timeline Playback Auto-Scrolling Options did change scrolling behavior,
       unfortunately my problem is still there.
I am strictly an Elements Windows user, so please double check the translation of the suggested locations from Windows to Mac.
How would describe your issue - "it worked before but not now" or "it never worked before".
>> My best answer must be; I have not seen this problem before but I´m trying to learn video editing so I could have missed the CTI behavior.
Looking forward to your follow up.
Thank you.
Add On...Like the originator of this thread, are you working with a tryout of Premiere Elements 12/12.1?
No this is a licensed version 12.0 upgraded to 12.1
Summary:
My conclusion must be that this CTI behavior is a software bug (maybe only in MAC versionPE12 or in some combination).
How to fix my problem:
Will a reinstall likely fix the problem?
Or is´t a case for Adobe Support to handle?
I´m happy for any help here.
Regards.

Movement with arrow keys

When I first put this code in, it worked. Now it doesn't. Does anyone have any ideas as to how to fix it?
var playerMc:player = new player();
addChild(playerMc);
playerMc.x=520;
playerMc.y=390;
var speed:Number = 10;
var left:uint = 37;
var up:uint = 38;
var right:uint = 39;
var down:uint = 40;
import flash.events.KeyboardEvent;
stage.addEventListener(KeyboardEvent.KEY_DOWN,keyDownListener);
function keyDownListener(e:KeyboardEvent) {
    if (e.keyCode==left){
playerMc.x = playerMc.x - 10
if (e.keyCode==up){
playerMc.y = playerMc.y - 10;
if (e.keyCode==right){
playerMc.x = playerMc.x + 10;
if (e.keyCode==down){
playerMc.y = playerMc.y + 10;

That's the thing, it did work and now it doesn't. This is all the code I have for the scene. I don't think any of it is interferring. But nothing happens when
I hit the arrow keys. And this was my third mover code I tried and this one finally worked.

Adobe Flash CS5 Platform Game Movement With Arrow Keys Help!?

Hello, I am a beginner to flash gaming. I am making a platform game, but can not reverse my character when he goes backwards. This is my code for left and right:
if (Key.isDown(Key.RIGHT)) {
_x += speed;
if (Key.isDown(Key.LEFT)) {
_x -= speed;
How Can I reverse it so when it goes LEFT, the character turns all the way around?

Ok, I fiured it all out, the other way you mentioned. Just opened up the character MC, and named 2 frames. One LEFT and one RIGHT. Then I added a few simple lines of code, and turned out with this:
if (Key.isDown(Key.RIGHT)) {
_x += speed;
this.gotoAndStop("right");
if (Key.isDown(Key.LEFT)) {
_x -= speed;
this.gotoAndStop("left");
Thanks for helping!!!

All indesign images/ texts are locked and will only let me move with arrow keys

Hi,
I've run into bit of a snag recently. I'm new to indesign but have alot of experience with other aodbe products.
I recently attempted to megre several documents together. After viewing the book I deleted it and went to edit the individual documents but I cannot move any files with my mouse. ????
Also, all my documents still have page numbers relating to the book that i deleted....
If any one has any suggestions please let me know
Thanks
James

For prefs, see Replace Your Preferences
If this is Windows 7 or Vista, see InDesign tools and panels don't respond to mouse clicks (Windows 7/Vista)
As far as numbering, if the files were in a book, removing them isn't going to change the numbering as it was updated by the book. You must reset that for each file manually uing the Section and Numbering Options in the Pages panel.

Can't move an object with arrow keys - CS3

In Fash CS3, suddenly, in certain files, I can't move an object left using arrow keys - but I can move the same object right, or if I hold down Shift + left arrow, it works correctly
Also - I can move the object down with arrow keys, but not up
Workaround - move an object on a different layer, then return to the problem object and it moves correctly. But this doesn't last long, the problem resurfaces.
Does anyone have a solution for this? (I've tried rebooting; tried copying all the layers into a new file - no help.)

Now, working in the same file, I just clicked on a stroke and it changed the stroke from a smooth curve to angular lines.
I suspect this file is corrupt. Any thoughts on how to salvage the weeks of work that have gone into it? Every version of this file has the same issues.
Thanks for any help.

How to make a first-person style game with arrow key movement?

Hey guys, I've made some simple click-to-move 1st person games with AS3, but I just wanted to know if there was a way to move around in 1st person with arrow keys, I was thinking you could get the background to move with the arrow keys, but that would be a little confusing.
If you guys have any suggestions for me, or if it's possible, please reply! Thanks

Here is a basic switch usage to move something with the keyboard:
stage.addEventListener(KeyboardEvent.KEY_DOWN, move_mc);
function move_mc(event:KeyboardEvent):void {
    switch(event.keyCode)
       case Keyboard.LEFT : mc.x -= 5
       break;
       case Keyboard.RIGHT : mc.x += 5
       break;
       case Keyboard.UP : mc.y -= 5
       break;
       case Keyboard.DOWN : mc.y += 5
       break;

Moving anchor point with arrow keys crashes Photoshop CC

Hey guys,
I've recently run into this bug many times while working with shapes. Don't really know what initiates it but it's super annoying as it crashes the PS CC completely without possiblity of recovering the unsaved files.
The bug appears while working with shapes after file is saved and reopened. Because I use to design pixel-perfect UIs, I work with arrow keys a lot to be sure every pixel is in the right place. So after selecting one or more anchor points of shape and hitting any arrow key (to move it by pixel), photoshop immediately crashes with this super-long description of bug: http://justpaste.it/ccshapecrash
Dunno why but this occurs very often when handling 1px-thin rectangles.
Is it only me or has anybody else experienced this as well? Any idea what exactly is causing it or what might be wrong with my config?
Never seen that kind of error in Photoshop before. It completely destroys my everyday workflow

I have exactly the same problem and I don't have any solution. I was tried to update the latest video drivers - nothing! Tried to update Photoshop which updates fixes bugs - nothing! The problem continues.
My OS is Windows 8 64bit, video card Nvidia GT 630. For the case, my Photoshop 32x works better (faster) than the 64x. Why is that ? I hope to have a solution.

Artifacts when moving object with arrow keys.

Hi all
hope this is the right place to post this question.
I want to to write simple arkanoid game in Flash (AC3). I've managed to write code that moves my paddle with arrow keys. The code looks like this:
function OnNewFrame(event:Event):void
    if (input.IsLeftHeld)
        if (paddle.x > 0)
            paddle.x -= 10;
    else
    if (input.IsRightHeld)
        if (paddle.x < stage.stageWidth - paddle.width)
            paddle.x += 10;
It works but the result is ugly. The animation is not fluent, there are times when paddle stops for a moment . Also when speed of translation is high (here it is 10) you can see that paddle is flickering at the ends, it looks like single buffering problem. You can see both of those effects here: http://www.flash-game-design.com/flash-tutorials/movOb.html , hovewer flickering is less visible due to small translation amount.
How to fix this? How can i enable double buffering (or maybe it is enabled by default)? Any help will be appreciated.
P.S. sorry for bad english

Thanks for samples, this is very kind ; p
Hovewer you are doing everything almost exactly as I'am doing. Tou are using mySymbol.x++ which means your translation speed is 1. Also I'am aware that rising frame rate will result in smoother animations, but this is not the point. So once again, my flash applications suffer from two problems:
1) Animations are not smooth. You can see this crealrly in here: http://www.kirupa.com/developer/actionscript/hittest.htm , go back to the very bottom of the page, there is an animation window, look at the smallest circle. It looks like its blinking.
2) Moving symbols with arrow keys with the method i've presnted in the first post (the same method that infeter uses ). Moved symbol is randomly stopping for the very (very very) short amount of time. You can easily spot this in infeter sample.
Many sample applications i've seen suffer from those issues. and nobody seems to see the problem, so maybe I am delusional? ; p
cheers and thank for help

How to change the presets in pop-up menus (CS6 or CR 7, example Photo Filter) with arrow keys?

How to change the presets in pop-up menus (CS6 or CR 7, example Photo Filter) with arrow keys an see at the same time the changes on the photo?
It worked under Windows, now I use OS 10.8 and have to apply a preset with a click or Return button but after that the pop-up menu close so I have to open it once again to change a preset. Please help. Thank you!

The filter panel is a shortcut for the content panel and it only effects the content of that window. So if you have a folder it will only see this as a folder and not with its content. (a Stack behaves about the same, being different in only counting the first file in the filter panel criteria but not what is in the stack itself)
You have a view work arounds, first is use menu view / show items from subfolders (this can take some time especially if you have not used caching before on this content) and this builds visible thumbs for all content and that can be used for filtering.
Or use the find command (Edit / find) and inhere specify the source and fill in the criteria include subfolders and this will give you the correct result.
When you create a smart collection the find command also pops up given you the same opportunity to get the results in a collection, but since a collection is only a bunch of aliases referring to the originals you might be a bit careful with editing and deleting.

Premiere CC Frame stepping with arrow keys

Why can I no longer step ahead or back one frame at a time with arrow keys after updating PremiereCC software?

It's working here for me xAndyx. Can you try trashing preference? Press Shift + Option and restart Premiere Pro (warning: you'll use any custom kb shortcuts, workspaces, etc.).
Thanks,
Kevin

I can no longer move an object with arrow keys

Pretty sure I have inadvertently disabled the option to select an object and move it with the arrow keys on my keyboard, but cannot figure out what I did - or how to enable that option again.
Illustrator CC
27" iMAC late 2013
OS 10.9.5

Found the answer in another thread. Somehow my keyboard increment was changed to a measurement so small (.00002") that I couldn't see the object move, nor did the X & Y coordinates change. I did not change this preference to .00002", but it is now fixed.

Moving Movie Clips with Arrow keys

How do i make it so when i click the left arrow key, it will
change the movie clip to make it turn around?

Yes, that's what the code I gave you is intended to do....
you replace that code with whatever action you need to take to turn
your movie around.
I have no idea what your movieclip is doing, but I'm guessing
by your response that if it was an arrow pointing left to right
(just an example), you want it to be pointing right to left when
the left arrow is pressed. If you want an immediate turn around,
then the simplest way to do that is to have another frame
containing the movieclip that it moves to where it faces the other
direction--and to have it appear turned around, from the toolbar
you select Modify -> Transform -> Flip Horizontal.
So the movieclip would live inside another movieclip that has
two frames with stop()'s for each frame. In the first frame you
would have the subclip facing left to right, and in the second you
would have it facing right to left. If we call that 2-framed
movieclip "walker", the code I provided before would
become...

Object Positioning with Arrow Keys / Hiting fast (3times) Objekt Moves Back

Good Morning,
Since i updated PS (CS6) the last time it has this very strange behavior when i try to position a object via the Arrow Keys.
When i hit a Button very fast (3 times) the object jumps back to its very first position where i started to move it.
Is this a normal behavior? Or a Bug?
When it is a new "feature" - where can i turn it off?
I ask some friends of mine, but nobody stumbled over it yet.
Thanks
Nils

Does this look like the same thing?

Move picture box with arrow keys

Hi,
I have already gotten my picturebox to move either up, down, right or left when I press my arrow keys.
My problem is that I cannot make it to move for example up and right at the same time (diagonal), can somebody help me to do that?
I also want it to move more smoothly, and I don't want to need to hold my arrow keys down for two seconds before they start to move rapidly like I have to do now.
Would appreciate any help! Thank you!
(Sorry for my bad English, I'm Norwegian)
Here is my code so far:
Private Sub Map_KeyDown(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As System.Windows.Forms.KeyEventArgs) Handles MyBase.KeyDown
If e.KeyCode = Keys.Up Then
PictureBox1.Location = New Point(PictureBox1.Location.X, PictureBox1.Location.Y - 5)
ElseIf e.KeyCode = Keys.Down Then
PictureBox1.Location = New Point(PictureBox1.Location.X, PictureBox1.Location.Y + 5)
ElseIf e.KeyCode = Keys.Left Then
PictureBox1.Location = New Point(PictureBox1.Location.X - 5, PictureBox1.Location.Y)
ElseIf e.KeyCode = Keys.Right Then
PictureBox1.Location = New Point(PictureBox1.Location.X + 5, PictureBox1.Location.Y)
End if
And I have these:
Private Sub btnPlay_PreviewKeyDown(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As System.Windows.Forms.PreviewKeyDownEventArgs) Handles btnPlay.PreviewKeyDown
Select Case e.KeyCode
Case Keys.Left, Keys.Up, Keys.Right, Keys.Down
e.IsInputKey = True
End Select
End Sub

Here's some other code I normally use now for key events on a Form since it is global. So if any controls are on the form which can get focus this works anyhow.
Protected Overrides Function ProcessCmdKey(ByRef msg As Message, ByVal keyData As Keys) As Boolean
If keyData.ToString = "Left" Then
PictureBox1.Location = New Point(PictureBox1.Left - 5, PictureBox1.Top)
ElseIf keyData.ToString = "Left, Control" Then
PictureBox1.Location = New Point(PictureBox1.Left - 5, PictureBox1.Top - 5)
ElseIf keyData.ToString = "Left, Alt" Then
PictureBox1.Location = New Point(PictureBox1.Left - 5, PictureBox1.Top + 5)
ElseIf keyData.ToString = "Right" Then
PictureBox1.Location = New Point(PictureBox1.Left + 5, PictureBox1.Top)
ElseIf keyData.ToString = "Right, Control" Then
PictureBox1.Location = New Point(PictureBox1.Left + 5, PictureBox1.Top - 5)
ElseIf keyData.ToString = "Right, Alt" Then
PictureBox1.Location = New Point(PictureBox1.Left + 5, PictureBox1.Top + 5)
ElseIf keyData.ToString = "Up" Then
PictureBox1.Location = New Point(PictureBox1.Left, PictureBox1.Top - 5)
ElseIf keyData.ToString = "Down" Then
PictureBox1.Location = New Point(PictureBox1.Left, PictureBox1.Top + 5)
End If
Return Nothing

Deisgn - Objects stop moving with arrow keys until a relaunch

In design mode, CR 2008, line objects and other design objects stop moving with the arrow keys and won't move more than one position until I either click on the object again and move it one position or I exit CR and relaunch that report. If I move a field object, and go back to a line or other graphic object, it will begin moving with the arrow keys again.
I have a dual monitor setup and wonder if that is my problem.
Thank you.

Hello,
Yes that is likely the problem. CR doesn't support dual monitors. Watch out for our Pop-ups, they may get hidden popping up on the other monitor behind another form.
Thank you
Don
