Premiere Tutorial: The Premiere Screens

These pages are still under construction and more information will be added in due course

 

 

This is the standard layout for all the windows in Premiere. You can create your own layouts, but we use the one marked Collingwood. The window on the left is the project window, it is a box containing all your 'tapes', pictures and graphics you need for your work. Double-clicking on a movie clip will open that clip in the monitor window at the top. You can then fine edit the clip and place it onto the construction window (also known as the timeline) at the lower left of the screen. The yellow bar is the video clip and the green bar is the audio from the video. You basically edit your clips and build up a program on the timeline. You can watch the clips on the timeline by pressing return and the video will play on the right hand 'tv' screen.

Control Bar

The area with the numbers on is the jog/shuttle bar. The numbers show the clips timecode & duration, the square in the yellow bar above them is the shuttle bar, where you can move back or forwrad through the clip. The black lines near each end are the In & Out points of the edited clip. The grey bar with little lines on it is the jog bar and goes back and forth but at slower speeds through a clip. The source box above shows the name of the clip in use and whether it has video/audio information.

The block of buttons next to the shuttle bar are the transport buttons, and they are, from the top left:
