How about actually reading the words we've written?

 

"We" volunteers cannot change the policy on mentioning --, and in truth, there's good reason for most users to stay the flip outta there. As someone who's helped around here over a decade, I've had a bunch of times where I needed to go to the private messages to get someone sorted who really, really mucked up their ability to get anything done.

 

Past that, all the community types I've seen would love to have the UI font size control added. "We" tend to give practical comments as to what you can, as a user, do now, just to get working.

 

That never implies any of us would not want the change requested. It's just a practical comment.

Hi!. I have upgraded to the 2025 version of Premiere and what is my surprise of a new UI that is very very very tiny in my system display (LG C4 48") (attached a capture to see it)

Well, adobe have deleted the option in this new version!!!

 

WHY!?. I don´t know, but seriously, I CANNOT work with this TINY font size!!!. And the suggestion to do the scale in Windows is awful, because ALL apps and UI of Windows will be too huge in comparishon!

 

PLEASE, Adobe, do the right thing, allow us to make this trick or add an option to scale the font size of Adobe Premiere, because I cannot work with this anymore 😞

Yes, unfortunately Adobe has removed the previous workaround to change the font size.

 

Since the release of 25.0 there has been many complaints here regarding the tiny font size in the UI and hopefully Adobe will fix it. The sooner the better IMHO.

Yes, I have searched later and I see A LOT of entries with this. I don´t know why Adobe ignore this, is not serious.

 

Meanwhile, I have reinstaled the 2024 version and I keep the two, but I cannot work with that tiny font!!!

THERE IS NO WAY TO ADJUST UI SCALE AND TEXT SIZES. THERE HAVE BEEN FEATURE REQUESTS ON  THIS TOPIC DATING BACK TO 2015, ON VARIOUS FORUMS AND TOPICS. IF THERE ARE ANY DEVELOPMENTS ON THIS TOPIC PLEASE GIVE AN UPDATE.

I fail to understand the logic behind people suggesting buying new hardware to solve a problem the software developers are overlooking.

Accessibility is the core of any product and design work. We do this as editors and designers so that the viewers are able to appreciate the work we produce with ease, Adobe should have done the same for its editors years ago.

I believe no one with proper skills left at Adobe to know what even accesibility is meant to be. Their programmers and sales team should read their own courses on the topic and try to educate themselves on the topic before trying to 'AI' everything.

I have an idea, if people at Adobe think that adding AI to their crippled programs will increase their sales, maybe they can let the AI help them with accessibility.

Let me help with that for you since the DEVs are probably busy meeting the unrealistic requirements of the sales dept.

"Accessibility in software development refers to designing and developing software that is usable by people with disabilities. It ensures that everyone, regardless of their abilities, can access and use software effectively. This includes people with visual, auditory, motor, cognitive, or other impairments.

**Core aspects of accessibility in software development:**

1. **Perceivable:** Information and user interface components must be presented to users in ways they can perceive. This includes providing alternative text for images, captions for videos, and auditory descriptions for visual content.
2. **Operable:** User interface components and navigation must be operable. This means providing keyboard navigation, avoiding reliance on mouse interactions, and ensuring that controls are understandable and intuitive.
3. **Understandable:** Information and user interface must be understandable. This involves providing clear and concise instructions, using plain language, and avoiding complex jargon.
4. **Robust:** Software must be robust enough to be compatible with various assistive technologies and user agents. This includes supporting screen readers, voice recognition software, and other assistive tools.

**UI scalability and readability:**

- **Scalability:** UI should adapt to different screen sizes and resolutions. This means using responsive design principles and ensuring that elements are legible and usable on various devices.
- **Readability:** Text and other visual elements should be easy to read. This involves using appropriate font sizes, colors, and contrast levels. Ensure that text is well-spaced and avoids clutter.

**Additional considerations:**

- **Color contrast:** Ensure sufficient color contrast between text and background to improve readability for people with visual impairments.
- **Keyboard accessibility:** Provide clear keyboard shortcuts and ensure that all functionality can be accessed using the keyboard.
- **Alternative input methods:** Consider supporting alternative input methods, such as voice control or touch gestures, for users with limited motor function.
- **Testing with users with disabilities:** Involve users with disabilities in the testing process to identify and address accessibility barriers.

By incorporating accessibility into the software development process, you can create software that is inclusive and usable by a wider range of people."

 

To get the attention of mods and community experts I'm going to copy paste the following magic words:

Whatever.

 

"We" community experts (although technically they booted me from that august group last year) and the mods don't have any freaking control over either forum policies nor Adobe internal protocols and policies. PERIOD.

 

Yea, many of us are irked with the font size and color ourselves. But again, we don't set policy.

 

So barking at "us" is only gonna tick off the main people you want arguing with you.

 

Stick to the subject, don't throw motivation accusations, and always ... be polite.

 

Your communication will be far more effective that way. If less emotionally satisfying in the moment.

I completly agree with every veteran editor struggling with the small font size. I literally tried to enlarge it today as I've done in previous versions of premier, and alas, that ability was removed. Bigger font in the project is not sufficient. We need font across the whole UI enlarged significantly.

why is this still a problem? unbelievable. If I change the display scaling setting on windows, all the panels and context menus become so big they become painful to use.

(Please provide a way to) change the (UI) to a size that sight-impaired, older users are able to see.

After 2025 update the 'option'  to increase font size has been removed.

I am guessing lots of people used this option (including me) as on a large monitor the font is very tiny.

Being able to change font size in the Project window does not solve the issue, nor does scaling in the OS.

Definitely! This is one of those things that seems so obvious, it's a puzzler why it's not done.

Just updated to Premiere Pro V25.

I can't seam to change the UI font size anymore.

This should have been in the Preferences years ago.

Any work around???

Previously I could (perform an unsupported workaround)

I have a 4k moniter and the product is not useable as the text is so tiny

Please get this fixed ASAP. Old eyes don't work with such ridiculously small fonts.

Mod note: References to internal tools were removed.

Can this feautre be reinstated, as the new interface's UI font size is very small?

 

Either this, or provide an in-software way to adjust the Global UI altogether, from an accessibility perspective.

UI has been changed significant. Setting in (Adobe internal engineering tools) won't be re-instated.
