im just bringing this idea back into relevence as clearly adobe are just ignoring the original post, however im sure almost everyone can agree that WE DO NOT NEED THESE, all they do is hide the waveform and add a extra useless distraction. PLEASE add a option to remove these stupid tags in the next update as im sure the entire adobe community would appreciate it. this has literally been a issue talked about for a decade, so for the love of god just listen to the people who are paying monthly subscriptions every monthScreenshot 2025-12-16 at 16.32.37.png

Agreed. And for that matter, I'd also like the option to not show the transition handles (the gray square) either. They both get in the way and obscure the very end of the tracks, which is always where I'm tweaking things. They just get in the way.

Remember, I'm with you about this being a major annoyance. I'm also not at all pleased with the moving the Fx badge to so close to the end of the clip, and removing the easy and obvious things shown by the old badge.

 

Ticks me off, I had to turn the blasted thing off because its now just in the way.

 

So which AI (actually machine learning) slop do you object to?

 

The new bin searching? Transciptions? The new masking tool in the public beta?

gotta love when user requests are less prioritised because they are too busy making ai generative slop 😄

 

but yes i do understand that some peoples issues are others minor inconvience or heck can even benefit others, however this is one of those features that i think benefits not a single user and negatively effects a alot of people including people who dont even know it. but when im trying to pace my video and there is a fatass unremovable tag that happens to be right infront of the waveform it is extremely tedious and considering there's a post with over a decade of users complaining about this issue i think its fair to assume its a issue

I've got a fair number of requests over the years, and as always am happy to upvote the requests of others, whether or not I'd ever use the new idea.

 

This is something I would like to see, and do wish they would change.

 

That said, simply because of the 50 bazillion things they are working on at any one time, they haven't gotten to one of many change-requests ... isn't because of 'simply ignoring something everyone agrees on' ... it's due to the necessary process of prioritizing team working time.

 

For my requests, I've been told in person at NAB that 1) it's a great and very useful request 2) some other users would also be thrilled but ... 3) the vast majority of the users would never be interested in even finding out about it. So ... don't hold your breath.

 

Yea, ain't holding my breath. Because we are all different, and every editor I've ever talked with ... or the colorists I work for/with/teach ... works differently than any other editor or colorist. And what irks one is considered an absolote wonder by another.

 

Irritating as it is to know my great ideas aren't going to happen ... well, clearly a lot of people don't think like me.

 

This particular issue annoys me as I tend to keep my audio tracks fairly 'thin'. But a lot of the folks I've talked with that work audio a lot more heavily than I do just laugh at me because they have their keyboard shorts to 'bounce' the track heights so they can either smallify them for general editing or tallify them instantly for actual audio work.

 

They're used to hitting whatever keyshort for that and don't even think about it. So to them, this isn't an issue at all.

 

Well, I do have a keyshort for tallify/smallify of audio tracks, but ... I don't use it that often and frequently when I do I have to go to the key-shorts panel to find what I set there again.

 

Ah well.
