Some general ideas on changes to how labels work in Premiere.
- It would be ideal to have a "No Label" option. In this world, there would be a default label/color that a clip exists as whenever it's brought into Premiere. Then the user can assign whatever label/color they want once imported. If they don't then it exists in the project/timeline as the default label/color until it is changed by the user.
2. RIght now, if you have "Show Souce Clip Name and Label" enabled in the timeline, when you cut a clip into the timeline it follow the label that is set as the source, if you change it after you cut it in, it changes in the timeline. This behavior is correct. It would be great to be able to have BOTH Source and Timeline label colors enabled at the same time. Meaning, if a clip has a source label/color, that is the label/color it is when it's cut into the timeline, if I want to apply a timeline label/color to that clip, I can do so and that will override the source label, if I want to remove the timeline label and default to the source, I should have an option to "remove timeline label." Additionally, in this mode, if I change the source color of a clip, the timeline should still follow the source. Combining these two options as well as having a "Source" and "Timeline" setting would be extremely helpful.
3. Lastly, we need to untether Source Name from Label. Those are two totally different features and in my mind have nothing to do with each other. The source clip name should always be the master name. If I want to change the name of the clip in my timeline, I should be able to do so separately and not have to change my label/color settings in the timeline.
Thank you!
