he Adobe Premiere Pro user interface is a combination of a video-
editing studio and an electronic image-editing studio. If you’re famil-
iar with film, video editing, or audio editing, you should feel right at
home working within Premiere Pro’s Project, Monitor, and Audio windows.
If you have worked with such programs as Adobe After Effects, Macromedia
Flash, or Macromedia Director, then Premiere Pro’s Timeline, digital tools,
and panels should also be familiar to you. If you’re completely new to video
editing and computers, don’t worry; Premiere Pro panels, windows, and
menus are efficiently designed to get you up and running quickly.
To help get you started, this chapter provides an overview of Premiere Pro
windows and menus. Consider it a thorough introduction to the program’s
workspace and a handy reference for planning and producing your own digi-
tal video productions.
Premiere Pro’s Panels
After you first launch Premiere Pro, several panels automatically appear
onscreen, each vying for your attention. Why do you need more than one
panel opened at once? A video production is a multifaceted undertaking. In
one production, you may need to capture video, edit video, and create titles,
transitions, and special effects. Premiere Pro windows help keep these tasks
separated and organized for you.
You can access any Premiere Pro panel by clicking its name in the Windows
menu. For example, if you want to open the Timeline, Monitor, Audio Mixer,
History, Info, or Tools panel, you can choose the Window menu and then
click the desired panel name. If the panel is already open, a check box
