Hi Jim,
You're right. What I wrote isn't the actual problem. My mistake.
The real problem is this:
- If I select an edit point with the Selection Tool ('V'), for example, and then change to the Rolling Edit Tool, the cursor doesn't change while hovering over the currently selected edit point, and the only way to use the Rolling Edit Tool on the selected edit point is to first deselect it and then reselect it again. The same problem occurs vice versa.
If you toggle the trim type to "Roll" after selecting the edit with a keyboard shortcut this is not necessary. It might take some getting used to, but see if that works for you.

The only way to select the right side of the edit point to first deselect the left side (i.e. click on any clip) and then select the right side. The same problem occurs vice versa.
Again, toggle the trim type with a keyboard shortcut (Shift-T is for Windows, Ctrl-T is for Mac), then your tool will appear and behave as expected.
It sounds like you wish to have the Final Cut Pro behavior, where the cursor that is chosen will appear over the edit, regardless of how the edit is selected. Note that here you must click to select the edit with the proper trim type before you drag the tool.
In Premiere Pro, the cursor will not change to the selected tool unless the edit is selected with the corresponding trim type. If you want to click and drag the trim tools as you did with Final Cut Pro, yes, you must deselect the selected edit point first.
Anyone can send me a PM at any time. I'm your representative to the Premiere Pro team.
