Add an Active Editing Timer in Premiere Pro

Right now there’s no way in Premiere Pro to know how much time I actually spent working on a project. 

I’d love to see a feature that adds a built‑in active editing timer. Here’s what it could do:

  • Count time only when there’s real user activity (mouse clicks, keyboard shortcuts, timeline edits, dragging, etc.).
  • Automatically pause tracking when there’s no interaction.
  • Show the total active editing time per project, and ideally break it down by editing sessions.
  • Maybe allow an exportable report for freelancers, teams, or personal productivity tracking.

This would give editors an accurate picture of their workflow and help with billing, scheduling, and productivity. Third‑party trackers exist, but an integrated solution inside Premiere Pro would be far more precise and convenient.
