Feedback on Copy/Paste Volume Behavior in Premiere Pro 2025
I’d like to share feedback regarding a functionality change in Premiere Pro 2025 that has significantly impacted my workflow.
In the current version, I noticed that when I copy the volume level of an audio clip (e.g., -11dB) using the right-click menu on the volume effect and selecting "Copy," and then paste it with Ctrl+V onto other clips, the program now creates a new volume effect instead of simply adjusting the volume of the target clip. This results in compounded volume levels, as shown in the example below:
- The target clip’s original volume is set to -5dB.
- I copy the -11dB volume from another clip.
- When I paste it, Premiere adds a new -11dB effect to the clip, resulting in a combined volume of -16dB.
In previous versions (up until 2024), pasting the volume level onto other clips replaced the existing volume value with the copied one, which was more intuitive and efficient. With this change, I now have to adjust the volume manually for each clip, which significantly slows down the process, especially when working with multiple audio clips.
This alteration negatively affects users who rely on this feature for quick adjustments in complex projects. I kindly request that you reconsider this functionality or provide an option to restore the previous behavior.
Thank you for your attention and for your ongoing dedication to improving Premiere Pro. I hope this feedback helps make the program better for everyone!
