Clip label colors has changed - please bring back the old setup

Hi! Please bring back the old behavior where clip label colors in the Project panel are reflected automatically in the Timeline. Now in version 25 of premiere pro, i have to manually label each clip in the timeline. Before where timeline clips automatically inherited the label color from the Project panel — was faster and more intuitive.

Thank you for the reply, you are right. The wrench menu didn´t show up in the timeline panel, that´s why i couldt figure it out.

@Theassolberg Good news, this is a preference you can toggle on or off when you like. In the timeline panel, click the wrench menu and choose "Show Source Clip Name and Label".

 

When this is on, the timeline clips will have the same name and label color as the Project panel. When it's off, they can be changed independently. You can change this whenever you like – both colors are remembered by the clip in the timeline.
