BONUS INFO I SHOULD HAVE THOUGHT TO INCLUDE IN THIS PRESENTATION:
The one thing that every company wants from its employees, but will NEVER tell them, whether they realize it or not, is this: *A company wants its employees to WANT to obey.* They don't just want you to do as you're told. They want you to do as you're told, AND GENUINELY ENJOY IT. They want genuine loyalty.
The reason they will never tell you this, is because then you'd be more able to fake it. And companies don't want fakers.
So if you've ever wondered why some employees don't get rewarded for hard work, while other, worse workers DO get rewarded... this is one of the big reasons why. Those employees have greater loyalty to the company.

Oh, hey film students - while I'm up here on my soap box: For your thesis student film, don't make yet another "morning routine" film. There are quadrillions of these. Make a film about literally anything else.

![Premiere 2017.1.2 BUG - Timeline is ignoring keyboard and mouse input - [Public version]](https://i.ytimg.com/vi/t_Swd8Yv55Y/mqdefault.jpg "Premiere 2017.1.2 BUG - Timeline is ignoring keyboard and mouse input - [Public version]
This is a very serious bug, where Premiere simply does not respond to some commands, while the video is playing... and sometimes even if the video is NOT playing.
This bug can vary in severity. For some projects, Premiere becomes nearly unusable, with hardly any keyboard or mouse input getting though.
THE SOLUTION (which I found later) is to switch to another program, and then switch back to Premiere. (I now have a macro that will do this as quickly as possible.) Then, Premiere becomes responsive to the keyboard and mouse again. However, it will soon become unresponsive again, sometimes on the very next keystroke. So this is definitely not a complete solution.
This was NOT a problem in 2017.0.2... and I deliberately waited several months before upgrading to 2017.1.2, in order to avoid the smorgasbord of bugs that are common in new releases of Premiere. Unfortunately, this bug persists.
I first reported this bug on Aug 2, 2017 with an unlisted video, but it has yet to be watched at the time of this writing.")
