Clip status indicators using Fx badges should be reinstated.

[Evangelist ittsui]

In Premiere Pro ver24.4.1, the specifications of Fx badges for clips on the timeline have changed.
I think it's a very stylish visual.
however···
In previous versions, the color specifications for Fx badges were as follows:

No changes → Gray
Changes due to motion have been added → Yellow
Changes due to effects have been added → Purple
Changes due to motion and effects have been added → Green

I was able to see at a glance what adjustments had been made to the clip.
In ver24.4.1, only two types can be determined: "Changes" and "No changes."

Change the color of your Fx badge to increase your work efficiency.
I have had the experience of being helped by this specification many times, so I would like you to return to the original specification.

クリップのFxバッジによる状態表示を復活させるべきだ。

Premiere Pro ver24.4.1でタイムライン上にあるクリップのFxバッジの仕様が変更になりました。
とてもおしゃれなビジュアルだと思います。

しかしながら・・・
以前のバージョンでは、Fxバッジのカラー仕様は以下の通りでした。

何も変更がない→グレー
モーションによる変更が加わっている→黄色
エフェクトによる変更が加わっている→紫色
モーションとエフェクトによる変更が加わっている→緑色

クリップにどんな調整がされているかがひと目で認識できていました。

ver24.4.1では「変更がある・変更がない」の２種類しか判別しかできなくなっている。

Fxバッジの色が変わることで、作業上の効率が上がります。
この仕様に何度も助けられた経験があるので是非元の仕様に戻していただきたいです。

I still can't believe that Dupe Detection "lines" indicators won't show on the smallest sized tracks and that you need to increase track size to see them. It's so unnecessary.

I hate this update, I can't see if my clip has fx on it or not. please turn it back to the old one fx indicator @adobe

24.6.1 fixed this dupe detection issue: the Duplicate Frames indicator shows on the smallest track size with this update.

FX badges remain unchanged without improvement

The removal of the color from the Fx badge and the decision to move its position to the right are, in my opinion, one of Adobe’s biggest mistakes.

Without the color, it’s impossible to quickly identify which effects have been applied. And with the badge now positioned on the right, when working with long clips, you have to unnecessarily scroll the timeline to the right just to see if an effect is applied (and even then, it’s hard to distinguish without any color).

I truly cannot understand why Adobe made this change.

Were they trying to emphasize, “Look, I’ve changed!”? Is the person who designed the new timeline so influential within Adobe that they can disregard user discomfort? Did Adobe internally think this wouldn’t be an issue?

This update has thrown countless video creators into a state of frustration, changing things that didn’t need to be changed.

One of the strengths of Adobe Premiere Pro is that users can freely customize their workspace.

However, Adobe has diminished that strength.

We can adapt to the changes in label colors. It’s not a difficult issue.

But the changes to the position and color of the Fx badge have actually regressed, making it clear that this is a patch that brings inconvenience rather than something users can adapt to.

Let me reiterate:

There’s a difference between something that can be adapted to and something that is difficult to use. Adobe needs to distinguish clearly between the two.

Despite many users expressing discomfort over the past few months, Adobe has done nothing in response and instead implies, “There’s no problem.”

Additionally, there is a bug where the clip height randomly increases. Why is this happening?

Adobe needs to think deeply about these issues.

I am seriously considering switching to Apple’s Final Cut Pro.

So this somehow got worse in premiere 25

• Agree with points made plus I have to turn FX icon off to be able to manipulate clips in timeline without inadvertently putting focus on effects controls.

Reiterating the desire for color-coded FX badges to be brought back into Premiere, please. They are essential to my workflow to be able to identify which clips do/don't have effects on them.

Is this adjusted in 2025? Updated to the final version of 2024... no fun!

[Hardi5CAE]

FX badges used to have colors for different adjustments added to clip, so I was able see when I had used an effect on a clip. But now I have no idea, if the clip has anyting othes than motion on it. 

Example: I have a 42 min HD timeline. The clips are filmed in 4K and have been fit to frame, so they all have motion active and therefore the fx badge is white. Now some of the clips have warp stabilizer on them, but that does not transfer to xml when I send the sequence to colorist and they send it back to me. I used to be able to see which clips have effects I need to copy on to the graded sequence,, but nowI have to go throug all the clips one by one to see where the effect has been used. 

It makes the workwlof much slower.

@Hardi5CAE , yes, changing badges colors affected us hugely. Anyway, in your case you may find the "Find in Timeline" function to be useful: press ctrl+f, set the search to "Effects", type warp stabilizer, and press find, the CTI will jump directly to the next clip where warp stabilizer is applied. You can also press "Find All" and all the clips with warp stabilizer will be selected.

[Hardi5CAE]

Thanks, but as this was just an example I only mentioned 1 effect. I would have to search all of them one by one and it is still time comsuming. 

[Ali Jaber]

Completely agree, I hate these workarounds but that's what we have for now.

Another tip: if you would like to know which effects are applied to a bunch of clips, select them and choose Edit > Remove Attributes, you will have a list of applied effects to these clips.

[Ann Bens]

It's a big pain in the butt.

Don't use the new FX badge, have it turned off, as it's completely useless to me.

[lehestro]

Can't agree with this more, and thanks for cleanly illlustrating the problem. Hopefully the devs will take notice. 

It just makes no sense to me to create an update with less functionality than the one before. Functionality and workflow optimization should be the guiding light. Everything is just... extra.

Not that I mind a nice GUI 🙂 but I'd take a fugly app that sings when I use it over a pretty one that chokes. 

[trevor_7307]

The new FX badge is still annoying - especially clicking on it, inadvertently, when timeline is small invokes effects panel (so timeline loses focus, zoom keys stop working etc).

BUT 

Listify is a great little extension from editing tools.io - including list of effects in timeline. It's the 'edit index' that PP should have natively
