Timeline Views

love that idea.  Very frustrating scrolling and then losing my place


Related request: the ability to hide audio tracks like you can in AE with the “shy” button.  

For example, when I have 5 tracks of dialogue locked, but I am still fine tuning music and SFX.   I don’t need the dialogue tracks getting in the way visually

You’ve nailed a real workflow pain point. Premiere Pro’s reliance on scrollbars for large track counts does make complex projects feel cramped, whereas Avid’s adaptive timeline view keeps everything visible without constant scrolling. An “expand-to-fit” option in Premiere would let editors see all tracks at once, while still preserving zoom and track height adjustments for precision work.
This kind of adaptive timeline could reduce navigation friction, speed up editing in multi-track projects, and make the interface feel more fluid—especially for editors juggling dozens of audio stems or layered video effects. It’s essentially about shifting from scroll management to visual clarity.
If you’re considering pitching this idea, framing it as a productivity enhancement rather than just a UI tweak might resonate more with Adobe: less wasted time scrolling, more focus on creative decisions.
