Hi Terry,
I am not an engineer nor am I even on the Premiere Pro product team. I am a support worker and customer advocate helping out here on forums.
if the moderator says the engineers don't want you to use this fix (See Brown town link removal and moderator excuse), then what do they want us to do?
First of all. It wasn't a "fix" (and by the way I am the moderator in question). The workaround was addressed by a user who was hacking the application with our internal debug tools and that is simply not supported. As far as what most people do who face this issue, here are some ideas for you:
- Avoid using a 4K monitor - one is not required in system requirements. A standard sized monitor is fine.
- Increase the font size in the Project panel from the shortcut menu in the UI.
- Set the high res monitor to display at a higher scale, like 150%.
- Request a new feature to increase the font size for all panels, not just the Project panel.
Please make your feature request known by upvoting a feature request or creating your own on User Voice.
I've been watch people complain and make this feature request for several years now.
Sorry, the team has probably prioritized other fixes and new features before this one. There are literally hundreds if not thousands of them. The other possibility is that the feature cannot be implemented without breaking or limiting other more important features. Finally, a UI refresh might be planned in the not too distant future so the request might be addressed in a future release. All we as editors can do is to keep providing that feedback. I have worked on a different NLE at another company and some features were never addressed before the product was finally EOL'd.
Other Adobe apps have already addressed it.
You can address that point with the product team on User Voice, an excellent point.
I don't see any indication that Adobe listens to feature requests at all.
Sorry you see no indication that Adobe is listening, but the team really is. The speech to text feature just released is enormously popular. Premiere Pro now works on M1 Macs. That's cool, isn't it?
That said, please know that the team cannot get to every request and that some requests might not be possible or delivered expediently enough for a variety of reasons. In spite of that, I will do my best to advocate for your feature request.
Again, the link was removed because it was not a viable solution nor can users condone the use of the internal debug tools to hack at the application on these forums. In fact, we as editors are not even supposed to be aware of such internal tools so it is best to just leave well enough alone.
I hope this makes better sense to you now, however, I do share your frustration—especially when you believe there is a viable solution there. There isn't, unfortunately. I would also like to see them add an option for larger text in the UI for obvious reasons.
FWIW, I advocated for customers when the blue UI was first released. The color values were not visible to certain individuals (males over a certain age), so I got them changed along with better controls for them in a later release. Hope I can help.
Thank You,
Kevin
