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.

@P0stup I hear you, this is really frustrating. The good news is we have a fix already in the Beta version, and it'll be in the next release.

 

If you want to give it a go, you can go to the Apps > Beta section of Creative Cloud desktop app and install Premiere Pro (Beta). That installs as a separate app next to your regular version, and you can open your project in there to try it out.
