Premiere Pro Feature Request – Context Menu Ergonomics & Speed
Premiere Pro is growing—and so are real-world editing demands. Unfortunately, the right-click context menus have grown too much. They now exceed screen height, forcing arrow scrolling. That’s bad ergonomics, slower workflows, and death by a thousand clicks.
Editors need speed, not treasure hunts.
Suggestions:
Recently Used Actions in Context Menus
Add a dynamic “Recently Used” section at the top of all context menus.
Example: Reveal in Project is frequently used but buried deep. It should surface automatically based on usage, not muscle memory.Smart Transition Recall on Clip Seams
When clicking a clip seam, show the last 10 used transitions instead of always defaulting to the same old default transition.
Editors reuse patterns—Premiere should learn them, not ignore them.
Why this matters:
Fewer clicks
Less cursor travel
Faster decision-making
Reduced cognitive load
Premiere is a professional tool. Professionals value momentum.
Let the UI adapt to the editor—not the other way around.
