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.)

Hi Community,

Thanks for your continued comments and upvotes on the topic. As @SpivR announced, there was a live stream with Francis and Kylee. A couple of you made some comments about this idea here and I really appreciated that. Francis responded to your comments in the stream. I'll link to it here. The feature is in active development, he said, however no timeline for including the feature was announced.

 

 

Thanks,
Kevin

Communicate directly with Adobe Premiere Pro  Video Product team!

 

Just saw an announcement on YouTube of an Adobe Live stream scheduled for 3/7/2025 at 9:30am PDT.

It is titled "Meet the Adobe Video Product Team, Behind the Scenes & Beyond, with Kylee Pema and Francis Crossman".

This would be a great time to hear directly from Adobe and give your direct feedback about the user interface font size problem and anything else you wish to give feedback about.

FYI - If you aren't familiar with YouTube Live Streams, they are announced in advance, but usually the recorded version is kept online afterwards for viewing if you can't attend in real time.

YouTube has a comments feature where you can post your comments and feedback.  In my experience, feedback is best given during the live stream, but you can also post comments to the recorded video if watch it later as a replay.

YMMV how the participants or host of the live stream and video process comments, but definitely worth participating if you want to elevate the frustration with Adobe Premiere Pro user interface font size problems.

Here is the link: https://www.youtube.com/live/kVoCEcsS9ZI?si=0EBXCKbCZ5QCElXl

(Hopefully the mods will not delete the link, but if they do, for whatever reason, search YouTube for "Adobe Live" channel to find it.)

To only be able to increase the Project folder size and not the actual UI text of the entire program is incredibly frustrating. Please tell me there is progress on this since November?

That would be a useful answer if I already didn't have a 4K 10 Bit monitor which I bought years ago and cost a fortune.

fwiw, Adobe only offers the latest version and the one previous.  So that would be version 24.  When you do an update, you can choose NOT to delete the previous version.   You might reach out to adobe support and see if they would provide the installer from an earlier version if necessary, but it's probably unlikely.
