I've been a Senior Editor for 24 years now. My specialty is editing multicam footage. When I've only got 10 cameras, it's okay. But more often than not, I get between 20 and 40 different sources, because most of the time, I'm called in to edit major shows. I come from the AVID world (where we see labels in multicam, as shown in the image below).

I'm more often asked to do my projects in Premiere these days. Not being able to see the labels on my timeline is really annoying. I need to find my bearings quickly. For a number of reasons, such as observing whether I'm using a source too often or fixing the same problem on a source every time I edit, it's crucial that I can see the labels directly on the timeline. It's a no brainer!

Thank you for considering my request and to the other editors, share, vote, make this request a reality!!!!

Hi @Martin Julien - We have labels in the Premiere Pro Timeline In the wrench menu you can select "Show Video Names" and if you right click on your clip you can go to the menu option "Label" to change the color.  Is there something about the way Premiere displays the labels that you wish were different?
