Displaying a clip
Clips can display in either in the Source view (left side) of the Monitor window or in a Clip window. If you want to compare several clips, you can open a window for each.
To view a clip:
Do any of the following:
To view a clip in the Source view, double-click the clip in a Project, Bin, or Timeline window. Premiere displays the clip and adds its name to the Source menu below the Source view.To see up to 35 clips you previously viewed since opening the current project, choose the name of the clip from the Source menu below the Source view.

In Source Options, choose a Count from the menu. The Count designates the format of the clip's timecode display. Select Zero Based if you want to start the clip's timecode at zero instead of using the timecode of the clip's first frame. Click OK.To open the currently visible Source view clip in its own window, press Alt (Windows) or Option (Mac OS) as you double-click the clip in the Source view.To always open a clip in its own window, choose Edit > Preferences > General & Still Image, select Open Movies in Clip Window, and click OK.To override the current window preference for opening clips (described in the previous paragraph), press Alt (Windows) or Option (Mac OS) as you double-click a clip in the Project window.
