Working with windows in Premiere


Three named windows form the main work area in Premiere:
  • The Project window is where you import, organize, and store references to clips. It lists all source clips you import into a project, though you don't have to use every clip you import.
  • The Monitor window can include the Source and Program views. Use the Source view to see an individual video clip and the Program view to see the current state of the video program being edited in the Timeline.
  • The Timeline window provides a schematic view of your program, including all video, audio, and superimposed video tracks. Changes you make in this window appear in the Program view.

    • For more information about using and customizing the Project window, see Using the Monitor window and Using the Timeline window.

    Premiere also provides specialized windows for tasks such as capturing video (see Using the Movie Capture window), creating titles (see Creating and setting up a new title), mixing audio (see Working with the Audio Mixer window), and storyboarding (see Creating a storyboard).

    When you exit Premiere, the positions of windows and palettes are saved. In addition, you can create and save named window layouts as a workspace. For more information, see Selecting an editing workspace.
