Labels will change color of entire track, instead of selected clips

New Here ,
Sep 10, 2021 Sep 10, 2021

I am working on a project, and I like to keep things organized by color labels. However, as of yesterday, whenever I try to change the label color of a clip, it instead changes the color of the entire track (as long as it is from the same source file). I have tried updating Premiere, tried creating a new file after the update and copying the needed clips to said new file, tried looking in every setting pannel I coud find, and nothing is working. I want to be able to change the color of only selected clips on my timeline, not the entire timeline. How do I fix this? Is anyone else having this problem?

(I know I can "label" clips using markers, but I would like to be able to organize things in the way I am used to, and works best for me.)

In your timeline panel go to the Wrench and click to reveal the menu. The top menu item should be "Show Source Clip Name and Label" (in most recent versions of PPro). Toggle that menu item on or off and report back what happen to the clip colors in your timeline.

In Premiere 2020, it is still in the project settings.  File > Project Settings > General and toggle the check box labeled “Display the project item name and label color for all instances.”

I know you posted this more than a year ago, but it has saved me so much time!  I litterally have had two different sessions with a virtual tech support person from adobe.  They assumed that there as an issue with this update of the software.  Their supervisor is actually still scheduled to call me back.  I can get along with my projects rather than idling for hours while someone else tries to trouble shoot all the steps I already did.

This is certainly an issue. A menu item like showing names and labels should not make the whole track be subject to color changes.
