I work with short clips pieced together. And I am so sick of playing hide-and-seek with this playhead and having to spend half my time opening and closing the Russian nesting dolls of a menu system every time I have to move to a different clip.

Holy crap this is a workflow disaster.

Alas, I have been told it is not possible to downgrade to the previous version, which worked reasonably well for me.

Did the hotfix restore the ability to click a clip, and the playhead move... did it restore the opacity lines in the timeline, the audio controls in the audio mixer, or the apply all option for clips? Nope... they did not... going to cancel my subscription...

Opacity lines in the timeline!! OMG - this version us useless to me without those for the kind of projects I do.

I've been using the program for a year, and have loved it. I do music videos with 4 or 5 cameras. I sync each clip up with the audio on separate tracks and then I adjust opacity to have each camera view come and go. Last night was the first project I started since the opacity lines were lost. I couldn't believe that they were gone.

Ugh. I may have to find another program if they can't let us get the old one back. (Or just put the opacity lines back in the timeline where they belong. I don't know what other changes there are. I can't even work on it enough any more to find out.) Very disappointed.

Cyberlink could publish a link for anyone who wants to go back to version 21, even better if they allow themselves to keep both versions for a while.

There was a new update v23.0.2126.0 that made it even worse, in my opinion, I had tested the Copy/Paste Attributes, worked on them one by one, today it stopped copying some as stabilization.
Pan and Zoom, if applied to photos that do not have the same format, distort the image.
The lack of the Apply to all button is causing a disaster for those who edit a lot of videos and photos and don't have time to waste. XEON-E5-2680 v4 / Mem. 16GB DDR4

Support finally gave me links to download the previous version of each program! Open a ticket and don't take no for an answer.
