Audio Track Name Metadata Viewable in Timeline

This one seems to have been floating around on the forums for a couple of years but we are still pleading.

 

Production Sound Mixers take the time on set to properly label their audio tracknames.

 

Editors need to see these in the Premiere Pro timeline, like this:

 

 

In Premiere, the current trackname labels of [Ch.1], [Ch.2].... are not descriptive enough.

Currently, tracknames are found under "iXML", buried at the very bottom of the Metadata panel, behind numeruous drop down menus. This is not adequate.

 

 

Having this simple piece of metadata in the timeline will save a huge amount of time and headache and is an absolute necessity in professional editing software.

 

Thank you!

Participation on these forums is vastly user to user. The Idea and Bug posts they tell us do get directly ported to appropriate team members, so often there are team responses on Bug posts, and sometimes on Idea posts. But not always.

Is Adobe going to respond? This seems like something that should be default.
