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:

  1. 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.

  2. 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.
