Option to Disable the Audio and Video Transition Handles

I totally agree with this. Those transition handles can get very annoying when working on a tight timeline with multiple small clips. For now, the only way is to zoom in really close to avoid clicking them by mistake, but having a dedicated "Disable" toggle in the preferences would be a massive time-saver for editors.

Does anyone from Adobe even read these threads?

i am baffled at how these are here to begin with and there is no way to turn them off? Does adobe even use their software?

I’ve been wanting to try something for a while, but my editing system is locked down so I can’t change anything. For the audio handles at least, go to:

Program Files\Adobe\Premiere <date>\PNG

And remove:

I think this is the graphic the audio handles use, I’d be curious to see what happens if it’s removed. My concern is that the handles would still be there, just now invisible, but at least the annoying little pop-up squares would go away.

Yes please …. at least for video clips as the fade handles are much less useful for video and get in the way much more often. 

For fox sake, please.  This is super annoying.  I am doing doc work where I’m dragging around tiny clips of interview.  I use only a handful of dissolves in the entire project.

Yes this is really annoying and I spend useless time removing unwanted transitions PKEASE REMOVE THIS AS A DEFAULT

can’t upvote this enough. make it a view option like fx badges

Upvoted. In audio, handles make more sense - you’re constantly fading SFX up and down, so I’d want the option to keep that enabled. But in video, I rarely need to add transitions. It tends to get in the way of ripple trims, rolling edits, and selecting clips, which I’m doing constantly. Even on FX-heavy promos, I’m not repeatedly dropping in the same transition. I don’t mind it being available, but I think most editors would be better served with it turned off.
