    If "across the board" means in all applications then that is a viable option. But it's not for those who are happy with the Windows font-size as-is but only having trouble with PrPro.

    Premiere conforms to the Windows UI scaling. This is relatively new.
    Have you tried increasing it in the windows control panel "Display" section, under "scale and layout" ? I've attached a picture.
    Set it to 150% or something. Everything will get bigger, but slightly blurry, since it's a kinda lame bilinear upscale. However, when you restart, Premiere will use its own native scaling instead, so it'll no longer be blurry.

    Agree absolutely. And need better contrast options - I do not work in a cave and I do not have 30:20 vision.

      Yes please! I use the comments field in the marker panel constantly to annotate my footage make selections - often with detailed descriptions. I am constantly leaning in and squinting to read my own notes.

      Other Adobe apps like Photoshop and Illustrator have scaling options built into them, so hopefully this is in the works for Premiere too.

      Yes! I just upgraded from 2017 and on my UHD monitor this is a big problem.

        YES!!! I use a 4k monitor and I have to lean in to read it! I don't want to have to change my screen resolution; i want to make the fonts of the UI bigger or smaller in settings!

          This is an issue I've seen across the board for Adobe software. On a 24" screen (1920x1080) the UI font is tiny. On apps that do have scaling options the large size is either insignificantly larger or jumps scale. A slider or number entry field would be ideal, maybe with a font size preview box below as example of how text will appear. Give users total control by having the option from default (tiny) to HUGE. I have new glasses and still struggle to see it.

            Hello.

            I'm on a MacOS Catalina platform (MB Pro 15" late 2016) .

            The Display Resolution is 2560 x 1440 on my external Eizo CG277.

            I have Adobe Premiere Pro 2020, Version 14.8.0.

            The UI font size is very small.  How do I adjust it? I can't figure out how to adjust it for Premiere Pro.

            Thanks for your help.

            No, the project panel is the only one you can scale the font (right click on hamburger menu)

            Premiere shows perfect on my UHD screen.


            OK, I will receive my new 4K monitor tomorrow and see how it looks. I am older so I sure hope the UI interface is not going to be tiny tiny and hard to read. I did see the option in Photoshop so I am surprised that its not available in all Adobe products. Its not like these monitors are something new, they have been around for at least 5 years. Thank you for your kind reply.
