Fundamentals don't go away, pixel size is pixel size, it does matter.

Again, totally agree the UI needs more user controls. Including font size. The comments at NAB were ... from what I could share, to the effect of "yea, we're aware of this ..." and "it's on the radar" ... that sort of thing. 

 

We users tend to prefer something about how soon this might appear in the public beta, but they're still a bit close-lipped on any progress 'here'. As always on about anything.

It's really important to have these as a normal "preferences" feature in Premiere Pro. Fixing a bug with hardware it's simply no way to work around this.

We're not in the 90's anymore so please fix this.

I'll be at NAB all next week.

 

And as usual, this will be on the list for things I'll bring up with the devs. As it has been for a decade now ... but hope springs eternal!

 

They did finally fix the issue where color control surfaces could only affect the bottom, last instance of Lumetri if there were multiple Lumetri layers on a clip ... which has been an issue since about half way through the 2017 version ...  🙂

You can only get so close before you leave nose prints on your monitor.

Don't forget, there's also always the option to move closer to your display.

Please fix this function I can not read what I'm doing and it's very discouraging to using your product. I'm SUPER frustrated and very angry that this isn't possible. I mean VERY  frustrated. IT SUCKS. I LITERALLY can not read what I'm clicking on on a 27" monitor, that's absurd.

I had cataract surgery in Feb. Now, I no longer need glasses! However, I'm leaning in and squinting through drugstore readers to try and edit in PP because of the @#$%*! tiny font size of the UI.  Of course finding the console trick on YouTube provided only fleeting hope, since it apparently no longer works on the new version I've got installed (Win11 Pro desktop). I'm blaming all my new crow's feet on you, Adobe!

Do as I’ve done and go back to the last 2024 version, where the back door trick still works

Thanks for the mention.

 

FYI, Very worthwhile live stream and the Adobe folks were very open in replying to feedback and providing info on improvements under consideration.

Some other issues besides the UI font size were also mentioned, so worthwhile to review if you have other fixes/features/improvements important to you.

(I was happy to hear they know Premier Pro 'project manager' needs improvement and they have in their sights to improve it.)
