Text Panel/Timeline Let Me Edit Without Auto-Jumping to the Next Filler/Search Result — PLEASE.
I’m working with transcripts in Premiere Pro 25.2.3 on Windows 11 and using the Text panel to clean up filler words (e.g., “um,” “uh,” etc.). Whenever I filter for filler words — or even just use the search bar — Premiere automatically jumps to the next instance as soon as I make an edit on the timeline or in the transcript.
This behavior is incredibly disruptive. I need to:
Review the impact of my edit in context,
Possibly adjust timing, or undo something quickly,
Or even just pause and think for a moment —
…but instead, Premiere immediately skips to the next result like I’m on a speedrun.
This makes deliberate editing impossible and leads to mistakes or missed opportunities to refine the cut. There’s no way to turn this off, no setting to disable the auto-jump, and manually scrolling back every time defeats the purpose of having a filtered view in the first place.
🔧 What we need:
A preference or toggle to disable “auto-advance to next result” after an edit.
OR: Only advance on user input (like pressing “Next” manually).
Bonus: A persistent undo/redo view tied to the last instance instead of a moving target.
Premiere’s transcript editing tools are powerful — but this behavior feels like a bug more than a feature. Please fix this.
