Sorry, I misread the OP.

However, if you double click a Sequence clip, it will load the clip into the Source tab, similar to the Layer tab in Ae, and you can move the in-out points around the same way you can in Ae.  And likewise, you can do track "slipping" like you can in Ae as well.  You can grab the selection by hovering your mouse over the center of the area selected, and move the in-outs back and forth while seeing the head and tail frames in a trim mode display.

That may not be what Robert wanted either.

If I’m understanding correctly, Robert is wanting to ‘scrub’ by leaving the CTI parked and moving the clip L and R on the timeline (which Pr won’t do until mouse is released.) Otherwise what you describe below is true.

A lot of it depends on your source codec.  If you're using Long-GOP 1080 footage, you may be dragging your CTI faster than your CPU can decode the frames.  If you use an intraframe codec like ProRes and a fast enough drive, you should see every frame as you drag your CTI back and forth.

Seems to be the way Pr works. No playhead/CTI refresh until mouse button is released, when doing a click-drag move. Maybe the slip tool (Y) would be a good alternative. You can see in/out point frames while slipping. You could slip to the desired point, then place that point where needed and expand the clip left/right as needed. Hope that made sense.

This is a simple Premiere question, but thought maybe the Premiere users on this list would know if this is possibe.
 
Isn't it possible to have premiere display the current playhead frame while dragging a clip in the timeline, just like it works in AE? 
It does show an update if you use the keyboard shortcut to move a clip in time (Alt+arrowleft/right) but not when useing a wacom/mouse to do it, then Premiere just shows a black output while dragging the a clip. 
 
Is there some hidden setting i cant find, or is it just this way Premiere (and most other editing apps) works?
 

Robert
