Hello @MyerPj. What's your workaround for looking at your 4k video 1:1? Or are you happy scaling it or only seeing part of it all the time? For me, 1:1 is crucial as I bounce between PrP, Ch, AE, PS, ToonBoom and C4d. Compositing edges are important to see 1:1. A key that looks fine at 75% or 50%, has problems at 100%. Do you have an additional monitor capable of playing 4K? Thanks! Also here is a UI solution that allows a 4k image to be 1:1 while the UI can be scaled comfortably.

You boys with the 'hi-rez' monitors have overspent! You buy a 4k monitor and the pixels are too small. Thats the real problem. I use a 32" 2560x1440 preceicly because it gives the right size pixels and I can use default sizes for my desktop and programs. When you raise the scale-up on a program interface, you simply loose screen-real estate, so you pay to say you have the hi-res, but in reality, you are just scaling up things to use up that suddenly not-available screen area. More = less sometimes.

 

Besides, you shouldn't be using or discussing (here) that thing you are using and discussing. 🙂

The console trick partially works but only on some parts and it's an unofficial hack.

Apparently this solution has issues. For me personally it worked perfectly, i just had to start and restart premeire pro a few times. But neo its perfect, as i like to edit in vr. So it has to be visible from monitors that change size and distance.

This is not a proper solution so only works for some panels but you can use debug:

So what's the fix you found? Is it a plug-in? Including myself, many people would find this useful.

I would too, and it's not just a problem for old eyes. It's hard to see even with perfect vision-- who on earth defaults to a font size 7 or whatever it is? And when you are using a high-rez monitor, it just becomes microscopic. Adobe keeps ignoring this issue. It doesn't seem like it sould be that hard to fix, after all, they figured out how to make it that small in the first place.

Since the "expert" adobe community could not figure this out for its disabled community, I took the liberty of doing this hard work all myself! Took only 10 minutes to find a 2 minute video that solves this issue while people are saying this is not possible... very sincerely that is fiction.

This of course should be an official function by adobe but with all those record profits im sure they are too busy with their money to do anything more useful with this software for its community that arent all "normal" people.

Disabled people deserve accomodation.
