disable automatic keyframe creation on audio effects

I would love to see an option in Premiere Pro to disable automatic keyframe creation when changing effect parameters in the Effect Controls panel during playback or timeline scrubbing (Audio Effects). 

Currently, Premiere automatically enables animation and sets keyframes without the user explicitly clicking the stopwatch.
This can cause confusion or unwanted keyframes, especially in fast-paced workflows.

Please consider adding a global preference like:
"Only enable keyframe animation manually"

This would give users full control and prevent unintended automation.

I don't know which version you are using but Premiere does not set keyframes unless you enable the stopwatch first.
