PP CS: Scrool Wheel Zoom Misbehaving

I'm on Mavericks, PP CC, 7.2.1
When I hold down the alt key to Zoom out a timeline, if I zoom out too fast, it loops around and zooms into 1000% to the frame by frame level.
To replicate the behavior, I just go to any point in my timeline, hold down Alt, and scroll the mouse wheel towards me. It zooms out, out, and out, showing me more and more of my timeline, and then suddenly zooms all the way back in the closest possible zoom level. At this point, if I continue to zoom out by moving the mouse wheel, it'll once again zoom out, out, out, until it gets to the maximum zoom distance and then bangs all the way back to frame level.
If I keep spinning the mouse wheel while I hold down Alt, I can continue to zoom from frame level to fully zoomed out and back to frame level forever. This is incredibly frustrating behavior as it's impossible for me to quickly zoom out to my full timeline.
If I go very slowly with my mouse wheel, I can get it to "stick" at fully zoomed out level, but again I have to be careful - if I spin that mouse wheel too fast, bammo I'm back to 1000% zoomed in at frame level.
It also appears to be ultra sensitive, as you can see on the attached video. I'm holding down Alt and moving my finger probably one inch on my scroll wheel, maybe half it's total rotation, and it zooms WAY too fast.
It does not do this if I Zoom in with my mouse wheel, meaning if I am at 100% zoom and I zoom into 1000%, it won't "loop back around" like it's doing when I zoom out.
You can see in the attached video the frustrating behavior, as well as the speed I'm moving the mouse wheel. I'm not moving it very quickly. I have tried different mice as well, and their scroll wheels behave the same way. In previous versions of CC, when I was at the furthest zoom level, it would simply "stop" there no matter much I scrolled the mouse wheel. Now it loops around.
This behavior does not exist with CS6. My mouse wheel works fine in every other application on my computer as well. What's the trick to fixing it?

Thanks, I'm aware of the keyboard shortcut, but the question is about the scroll wheel behavior. I don't always need to zoom out to view my full timeline, sometimes I only need to do a few steps, however not only is the scroll wheel zoom far too "fast", but if I don't stop at exactly the right place or use exactly the right speed, it loops around back to 1000% zoom. It makes it basically impossible to use option+scroll wheel to zoom and as I said, if you go to fast, you're at 1000% zoom and usually totally "lost" in your timeline as a result.
You can see in the video above by looking at the scroll bar - as soon as I go just one tiny smidgen above 100% zoom, it slams you back to 1000% zoom. As you can see from my finger movements on the wheel at the end of the video, it's not like I'm spinning the thing at 500mph, I'm just moving the scrool wheel at the same speed I scroll everything else on the computer - web pages, Word documents, etc.
Scroll wheel behavior is fine for all other apps in OSX, firefox, Photoshop, etc. It even works fine in PP CC when I zoom in - just not when I zoom out.
On PP CC for Windows, the behavior is fine. I zoom out with the alt+scroll wheel, it reaches full zoom, and stays there. It doesn't "loop back around" to 1000% zoom like you see in the video above.

  • How do I Enable Scroll Wheel Zooming in Fireworks?

    I just bought a new mouse and now "ctrl + scroll wheel" zoom no longer works. The scroll wheel works but as soon as I hold down ctrl then the scroll wheel seems to do nothing - in Fireworks... in Internet Explorer and Chrome it will zoom as expected. I can't find anything in windows settings and Fireworks preferences does not have any settings that I could find. Since it works in other applications I would safely assume the issue is with Fireworks...
    Fireworks CS6
    Windows 8
    Microsoft Wireless Mobile Mouse 4000 (Model 1383)
    Thanks for the help!

    GIF is just an end format, something you export to. Many
    applications
    will export animations to GIF. The real issue here is finding
    an app
    that can revolve an object in 3D space. You haven't told us
    what kind of
    object you want to revolve. If there's an example you could
    point us to
    we may be able to help more.
    Again, if you want to create more realistic 3D animations
    with precise
    control over lighting, cameras, 3D modeling and more, try out
    Swift 3D.
    It's not exactly cheap but is a lot less expensive than high
    end 3D apps
    and has a lot of the same features. It exports to GIF among
    many other
    formats.
    http://www.erain.com/
    But it sounds to me like you want something simpler and Xara
    3D which
    someone else recommended would probably fit the bill for you
    and be less
    expensive. I had tried it but that was years ago so I don't
    know how
    well it works now but for quick and dirty 3D web animations
    it should do
    nicely.
    http://www.xara.com/products/xara3d/
    Both Swift3D and Xara 3D export to GIF amongst many other
    formats.
    Swift3D's exporter is a lot more sophisticated and powerful
    though. It
    actually has 2, one for vector output and one for
    raster/bitmap output
    (like a GIF animation). Give both apps a try. Start with Xara
    and check
    out Swift 3D only if Xara doesn't do what you need.

  • 'Alt + Scroll wheel' zoom function lacking in Muse

    Hi all! While Muse is a very intuitive program to get to grips with, one feature that I see lacking is the ability to use the 'Alt +Scroll wheel' zoom command. I use this in Photoshop, InDesign and Illustrator and I am a little confused as to why it is not in Muse. I would LOVE to see this implemented. As would many of my freinds and co-workers. Is there a reason it is not available? Arrivederci!

    Hi Paul,
    I'm not quite sure what Bozhinov was meaning, but what I was saying is that the funcionality of holding the Alt key down whilst using the mouse scrollwheel to zoom would be an extremely useful feature in Muse. The same feature you have in Photoshop, Illustrator and InDesign, for instance.

  • Bring back Alt-Scroll-Wheel zoom

    PS's alt-scroll-wheel zoom shortcut is just too useful to leave out
    of LR.

  • Any way to reverse scroll wheel zoom?

    I love the option+scroll wheel zoom in the After Effects timeline and was always annoyed that many of the Apple Pro apps didn't support this. Recently switched over to Premiere, and glad to see the scroll wheel works in the timeline as well. However, it's reversed! In AE, when you scroll forward, you zoom IN... in Premiere, you zoom OUT.
    Any option somewhere that allows you to invert this? I keep getting all messed up as I go back and forth between the apps.
    Thanks,
    Stephen

    Stephen, I so agree with this.
    In Audition and FCP it works the correct way too. Pr Pro just feels all wrong and it's doing my head in.
    The software is great to use, but the zoom is incredibly confusing, considering all the other applications I've used in the past all work correctly.
    I can only hope that they don't start changing things like Apple did with the reversing of the track pad in Lion. bad move there in my books (just one reason why I don't need to upgrade).
    Cheers,
    Steve

  • Turn Off Scroll Wheel Zooming

    I need to turn off the scroll wheel zooming in After Effects. If I am looking at a Comp window and I scroll with my mouse, the view zooms in or out. I don't want to do this, especially because I have a Magic Mouse and any stray movement suddenly zooms my window. It's a realy problem. Can I turn this "feature" off?

    Feh. If Adobe actually DID listen, they would have taken one of the following steps (in order of likelihood):
    added all the features to Illustrator that FreeHand had 10 years ago that are STILL missing.
    continued to update/upgrade FreeHand (not as stupid as it sounds...look at how many different clothes detergents Proctor & Gamble makes that compete with one another).
    release the source code with a Creative Commons license, and allow developers to create an open source alternative to Illustrator (okay - THAT would be suicidal for illustrator, but a guy can dream).
    I know a few things about the way Adobe (and all software companies for that matter) work. I worked for competitiors of theirs, and a company they acquired. Lots of friends still work there at Adobe.
    Problem is, what we don't see as consumers is what REALLY goes on there - the jockeying for dominance by one product group over another, the limited resources and the constant battle for them between fixing what's broken (not a money-maker but helps the customers) or adding new features (attracts new customers but introduces more bugs). At Micrografx, we used to joke that a X.0 release was our "X.UH-oh" version. At one time tech support guys would ask each other, "did they want help with the "original recipe" or "extra buggy." But what really kills me is I have a lot invested in FreeHand. And it had features and functionality that is simply not in Illustrator, even now. That's insane. To make an analogy in another area, it's like GM buying Chrysler for their variable-speed transmission, and other cool technology, then discontinuing all the unique features and products, and continuing to sell the same old stuff. I realize that vector drawing is a mature category, but we deserve better than Illustrator.
    Even worse is the Windows-centric nature of Adobe. Back in the day, Adobe was a Mac company, first and foremost. Their Windows products were...um...kind of a joke. Illustrator 1.0, for instance, cost $100 more than it's Mac counterpart, and could only PRINT in color...it couldn't display anything in color on the screen. (!) Somewhere along the way, someone made a decision to develop on Windows (with a huge advantage in overall market share, this makes financial sense) and port the code to Macs. That's a BIG mistake, because ported code is, by definition, bloated and unresponsive. It's a cost-effective way to do business...right up until your users wise up. Unfortunately, by going for the larger Windows market, Adobe's forgotten that in graphics, Macs are still the choice of a majority of graphics professionals.
    How do they diss Macs? Let me count the ways: let's take video, for instance. Take a Mac and a PC. Equip both with the same CPU, RAM, and Hard Drive. See which one plays back video faster. Surprise! It's the PC. Why? Bloated code. Same is true for Flash. And Photoshop.
    The only thing that allows Adobe to get away with listening to their bean counters instead of their customers is they have VERY little competition. In fact, where they DO have competition, they are (surprise again) competitive. Final Cut almost destroyed Premier. But Adobe got serious about improving Premiere, and today it's begining to win the hearts and minds of the Apple faithful.
    As I see it, there are two solutions here. I'm good with either one.
    Someone (like Apple) steps into to make quailty apps on the Mac that will make it a two horse race. Adobe will improve...or die.
    Apple buys Adobe and folds CS6 into their software line, like Final Cut Pro and Logic Studio.
    Don't care which happens. But I'm really very unhappy with the state of things as they are. So...Adobe...ARE you listening?

  • Alt + Scroll wheel zooming

    Hello!
    Been working with Muse for a while now and I'm growing to like it more and more, however, there is one thing that bugs me... you can't zoom in and out on your project like you can with Photoshop or Illustrator by using Alt + the scroll wheel on your mouse. You have to select the zoom tool and then faff about with it, then re-select the tool you were working with before you had to faff about with the zoom tool. Workflow would be greatly increased if Muse had this feature I reckon. And less frustrating.
    I'm sure the Muse boffins will be rolling this out in a future update but I thought I'd make the suggestion here in the 'Ideas for features in Adobe Muse forum', just in case.
    Thanks!
    Also, if said boffins could add a feature that would allow Muse to export a project to WordPress..   that..  would be smashing

    I completely agree, the 'alt + scrollwheel zoom' would speed up my workflow like nothing else. I've posted a couple of times about the lack of this functionality.

  • What happened to Alt + Scroll Wheel Zooming while using Polygonal Lasso Tool?

    My issue is that when I am working with the Polygonal Lasso tool I am no longer able to use Alt + Mouse Scroll wheel to zoom in and out while making my selection. I have found other ways to zoom in/out, but none are as efficient and fast as the method I just described. I used this function in previous versions of Photoshop and can’t imagine why Adobe would remove it from CS6. Is there a way to re-activate this function?

    Were you using a mac (works in photoshop cs4 on a mac) before or which photoshop version on a windows system did that work?
    Anyway on windows you could press the spacebar and alt or ctrl and click on the screen to zoom.

  • CS6 AI  : set scroll wheel zoom directions

    So I use OSX Lion with the default reverse/inverted scrolling. In AI CS5 and PS CS6 I'm used to zooming by holding the opt/alt key while scrolling. Just like in these apps, it's expected when I move my scroll wheel up then the artboard will zoom out, and when I move I scroll down the artboard zooms in.
    In Illustrator CS6 , this behaviour is flipped and I can't find any way to set/reverse it. Anyone know? This is killing me.
    Thanks!

    You know? I'm sick to my stomach with the realization that Adobe and Mircosoft will NOT support the reverse scroll... Adobe came out with an update for Illustrator CS6 (the last one) - and it seemed to do the trick...but now I realize that it didn't. I was in Illustrator CS5...dug. I think we all have to come to the realization that ...we should have never switched.
    Many moons ago, I learned to fly helicopters...and the French heli's reverse the direction of their rotor blades...which means I have to reverse the pedals to keep it steady. If you go back to an American heli...your mind has to adapt...and if you do the wrong thing...dead. My point is...Apple is the ONLY one who's doing this reverse scroll thing...nobody else. And no matter how much sense it makes, and no matter how AWESOME it is....if we were all more realistic...we'd never have adopted it.
    I go back and forth between my PC and Mac all the time...using CS6 - and...wow...my mind cannot adapt between the two, so I install this silly software called Hotkeys that allows me to tweak the registry and reverse the (you guessed it!) scroll direction - which makes it worse...then I develop on Ubuntu...and am forced to edit some Unix files to reverse the scroll on that! ...but, when I go to use another PC at some company I'm working with......it's back to the old way.
    Here me, for I speak the truth......I think we should all realize that the old way is THE way. Apple did this on their own...and us fan-boys (and girls) out there should have been more pragmatic to not follow them, for the simple fact that nobody else will!

  • Mouse scrool wheel events

    Hello!
    I noted that in CVI 9.0 when  using a slide control (hot mode) with the mouse scroll wheel, the only event generated is EVENT_MOUSE_WHEEL_SCROLL.
    But in CVI 2013 the same control generates EVENT_MOUSE_WHEEL_SCROLL, EVENT_VAL_CHANGED and EVENT_COMMIT.
    Is this behavior correct?
    Thanks in advance.
    Solved!
    Go to Solution.

    The reason those events are sent in CVI 2013 is because operating the mouse wheel really does change the value of the control in CVI 2013, which didn't happen in 9.0. This was implemented as a result of an idea exchange submission and it was documented in the CVI 2013 release notes (search for "mouse wheel").
    The events are not referenced explicitly in the release notes because the key difference was the control value changing. Once that happens, then, as Wolfgang mentioned, the events do need to be sent.

  • Scroll wheel zoom no longer works with Lasso in CS5

    I've been scouring the forums and found that this issue was raised almost a year ago, but it seems it still hasn't been dealt with. How can this be? Why would an "upgrade" remove funcionality that existed in previous versions of the software? Have since upgraded to CS5.5 and still no solution. Has anyone found a way to restore this functionality?

    Seriously, no one has anything on this? I know I'm not the only person who misses this. How is it there is still no solution here? Was the functionality actively removed because people complained that it worked too well? Is the plan to re introduce it in CS6, and call it new? I went from CS3 to CS5.5 and the only difference i've noticed is this step backwards. Oh and the rediculously useless default tab setting. Maybe I'll just re-install CS3? Is that my only option?

  • Is it possible to resize the bar ruler in Logic 8?

    In Logic 7 I was able to increase the size of the bar ruler, but in Logic 8 this function appears to have been overlooked. With my large monitor, the bar ruler in Logic 8 is TINY and it strains my eyes something awful. Plus, it takes a really steady mouse hand to set the cycle locators or the play head.
    Does anyone know of a way to resize the bar ruler? Or do I have to cross my fingers and wait for an update?

    Hi Alby,
    I thorouhly agree with you. Resizing the bar ruler was a nice feature that's been overlooked. Moreover clicking on the right or the left of the green cycle locators doesn't not switch it on or off as it used to be in Logic 7. I have to use " / " key to do it now.
    And worst thing, L7 and L8 have inverted mouse scrool wheel zooming direction with <cmd>+<opt> on the bar ruler. And no way to configure it.

  • Using mouse wheel to zoom? (Macs)

    Hi guys,
    I recently made the jump to Mac from PC (had been designing almost completely on PC for 12 years).  I've discovered a wealth of shortcuts for Flash CS5 on Mac, but it's missing a significant one for me:
    On Flash for PC, the user can press CTRL + SHIFT + Wheel Scroll to zoom in and out.
    On Mac, although users can wheel-zoom (+ ALT)  in Photoshop, Illustrator, and even InDesign -- Flash doesn't have this capability.
    Call me nitpicky, but this was the most significant shortcut for me on PC.
    I notice this same topic has been posted sparsely over the years, with very few repliesand no remedy.
    I'm hoping someone's figured out a way or knows of a solution?
    Would really appreciate any help.  Thank you!
    -T

    Not sure if I am misreading your post, but there is an option in the preferences that allows you to choose Zoom With Scroll Wheel. With this option active you hold the ALT key to scroll.
    My Logitech mouse has a tilt wheel on it and this works fine in Photoshop. It doesn't loop through the screen but it does pan left and right with no problem. On this mouse the scroll wheel can also be pressed, and can be programmed to almost any key, I use for double click.
    Forgive me if I've misunderstood your question.
