FEATURE REQUEST: turn off clip opacity line and add opacity faders instead

I think it’s time to update this outdated feature in Premiere Pro.

How many of you use this opacity line on each clip for anything else but fading clips out or in?

And how many of you accidentally move this line in the heat of video editing especially when there are lots of small clips in your timeline?

I suppose the number of the latter ones is ten times as big.

So I want to suggest that this opacity line in clips be removed by default and be accessible like the time-remapping and other curves - via the right-click menu “Show clip keyframes” only. And at the same time every clip should have a fader badge like audio clips do:

So when anyone needs to fade a clip in or our - I suppose it’s a 99% scenario of using the opacity line - they can just drag the faders to get this effect.
