Bring back the old default track height

I wanted to chime in, upvote this thread, and give it some more activity. I too have been annoyed at the new default track height of the video and audio. I also understand that cmd+"+ or -" adjusts video height and opt+"+ or -" adjusts audio height. Setting a new default to change things to the way it has always been until this point just wastes time and I don't appreciate needing to do that. It seems like every time a new version of premiere is released, I end up here on the community page trying to debug the program and get it to work how adobe has taught me to understand the interface. It's very tiresome

This is exactly what I was saying @Fortunato001 only you said it better!

Creating track presets to gain back a default setting goes against UX 101.

Invoking a track height preset every time you add tracks to a sequence wastes time. It starts adding up. We are visually organizing layers upon layers, so why change that visual organization without asking the user?

In this case, at least make the preset dictate the track height when adding new tracks for the duration of the session - until a new preset is used or it's manually changed by ALT/OPTION scrolling.

@luvmykidz74going back to classic label/track color preset/scheme - preferences>labels> drop down menu down rigth select 'classic'  ... might help a little. Did for me.

Neither thee nor me was thilled with the recent changes. And I'm always asking for more user choices.

Those said, apparently quite a large majority of the several million daily users either don't mind the changes, or in many cases, love them.

Which is something I always work to remember ... everyone's mileage always varies. I've got friends that love Resolve's UI, which I also work in daily. I ... don't. Not. Hardly.

NO accounting for taste, I suppose.

But yes, a basic 'default' choice would be good. Although many of the editors I know have around 6 track presets depending on what they're doing. They simply don't understand anyone reluctant to use track presets. 

I couldn't agree more! This change is so annoying and I should't have to create a preset that I have to constantly apply. Adobe, if you're going to make a fundamental change, please provide the option to set a default.

The Adobe documentation ... which always needs significant updates and improvements ... actually does cover setting track height presets.

As does quite a number of the better online helpers ... Jarle Leirpoll's premierepro.net has something on it as I recall, Paul Murphy's awesome ThePremierePro YouTube channel has this, as does Colin Smith's VideoRevealed channel.

I think PremiereGal also covers this.

Can you advise how to do that please?

Much of your posty I agree with. But also, I find it odd that someone working professionally for a decade doesn't have presets for track heights for various jobs. When doing audio, you want tall audio tracks.

For doing trim work, probably you want small audio tracks. There's a lot of things where changing track heights makes for easier/faster working processes. So learning them could actually boost your speed.

Like learning the various trim modes does ... yea, it's a pain to try it out for a few minutes. But then you get a lot faster. Easier too.

I don't understand why the track height would be changed without giving us a way to change it back by default. We now have a new default that practically nobody asked for, and it's not remotely intuitive for a beginner or even a modestly experienced or trained user to deal with this. I couldn't figure it out in the program, and when I come to the forums I have to search for "track height" just to find the option wasn't even created in the first place to change back a default that's been there for at least a decade. I wouldn't even know there's a way to add a shortcut to create a new preset to then make the needed adjustments without this thread. I love this program and it's a key component in a very rewarding hobby, but these out-of-nowhere fundamental changes with no contingency planning (or way to opt-out) don't help everyone. The sudden color change across the board was also disconcerting, and came at the same time, and I don't have the time or patience to try and change everything back. Not every change is progress. Not every surprise is good. And changes that require a workaround to revert is often not ideal.
