Accessibility issue: Visibility of selections in latest versions of PremiereOpen for Voting

I'm not sure if this is best submitted as a bug or an idea. It's an accessibility issue, at any rate. The selection border for selected clips on the timeline in newer versions of Premiere Pro (24.4+ I think?) is quite difficult to see, at least for me with my okay-but-not-great eyesight, at least when using premiere at 4k on a 32" monitor. This isn't a "I don't like the colors" problem, this is a "I really have to study the screen to figure out what clips I have selected" problem. It's probably even harder to find the selected clip(s) for someone with *poor* eyesight! This isn't a "just get used to it" kind of issue. The new selection border is significantly thinner and not as bright as the old selection border, I can't just magically become more able to see it. And believe me, I've tried! I've sent screenshots of old and new premiere to friends and they can't find a selected clip on a dense timeline, either, until I point it out to them, so it's not just me.  I can't upgrade past 24.3 because it's so difficult for me to see what's selected, that it is basically impossible for me to work. I'd really like to be able to upgrade. Please don't limit premiere to only be usable by people with really amazing vision! If nothing else, some kind of acknowledgement from someone at Adobe that this issue is even on their radar would be lovely. Or let me know that y'all are happy with it as-is so that I know it's time to move on to another editor (though I'd much rather not). Please?

Synchronize UpgradeOpen for Voting

Between updating MacOS and updating Adobe, PluralEyes (formerly Red Giant, but acquired and killed by Maxon) has finally stopped working.  It's end of life/"limited maintenance mode" has finally hammered the final nail in the coffin and there's no way for the program to be opened, much less be used with the Premiere integration feature. My proposal is both simple/elegant and probably very difficult to implement: allow the current Synchronize feature to be fully upgraded:allowing multiple framerates (anywhere from low frame rates to high frame rates - 1-240 or even higher!)multiple clips (or takes) in a single track and multiple tracks (or angles) to synchronize using only audio waveforms (and even increasing gain of existing, scratch-audio level waveforms in the background, if necessary) to find commonalities and sync automagically. The user would simply select clips, right-click and select Synchronize.  The following prompt, not unlike how it currently works, would allow the user to select the master audio track to source primarily - its result would be quick and have any unmatched clips put to the end of the sequence. This kind of hodge podge, mix-and-match solution existed in PluralEyes and did it quite well, and so I believe it could be accomplished again for those who do not have access to Timecode-based alternatives when filming with multiple cameras/bodies/etc.  This saves both seasoned and new editors anywhere between minutes to hours (depending on the scope of a project) of any multicam project from manual syncing. Does this exist?  If so, teach a man to fish.

Adding Captions for One Clip Instead of an Entire Sequence SHOULD be the norm.Open for Voting

Problem: There is no way to transcribe a specific clip in a sequence, and select one block of transcript to create captions from that specific block of text. I have created a vertical cut down of 46 seconds, from a video of 26 minutes. I want to create captions for JUST that 46 second cut down. I do not want 26 minutes of Premiere trying to spell words it can't understand. I don't want to fix 26 minutes of Premiere being useless, I want to repair 46 seconds and even that is annoying.Workflow Streamlining: The CC button creates an entire sequence of captions, ignoring the in/out points set by the user. I have a 10-minute video, I only want captions for a specific 15 second clip as the wind is too disruptive for accurate captions in software. There is no way to isolate that 15 second clip to be transcribed and captioned. I must suffer with transcribing the entire sequence of windy, jarbled audio that is more often than not incorrect, and mislabelled by Premiere. Steps:1. Create in-out points on your timeline.2. Transcribe the entire sequence because Premiere will ignore your in-out points.3. Highlight a specific paragraph of transcribed text.4. Click "closed-captions" for that specific block of transcribed text, while you have your in-out points set, because you assume it will only do that section of highlighted text, because it is highlighted.5. Create captions for the entire sequence because Premiere will ignore your in-out points.6. ???7. Pay $35 every month.I truly believe a more streamlined and selective caption interface for current users would be incredibly helpful. This is an idea request that should have been implemented at caption-creation onset. Now several months later this is still the most cumbersome caption software in professional use case I have worked with.
