The History panel
Premiere Pro’s History panel, shown in Figure 1.9, lets you perform virtually unlimited Undo
operations.
FIGURE 1.9
The History panel provides virtually unlimited Undo operations.
As you work, the History panel records your production steps. To return to a previous version of
your project, just click that history state in the History panel. After you click and begin working
again, you rewrite history — all past steps following the state you returned to are removed from the
panel as new ones appear. If you want to clear all history from the panel, choose Clear in the panel
menu (opened by clicking the right triangle icon). To delete a history state, select it and then click
the Delete button (trashcan icon) in the panel.
If you click a history state in the History panel to undo an action and then begin to
work, all steps after the one you clicked are removed from your project.
The Info panel
The Info panel provides important information about clips and transitions, and even about gaps
in the Timeline. To see the Info panel in action, click a clip, transition, or empty gap in the
Timeline. The Info window shows the size, duration, and starting and ending points of the clip
or gap, as shown in Figure 1.10.
The Info panel can be very useful when editing because the panel displays starting and ending
points of the clips as you edit them in the Timeline panel.
The Event panel
The Event panel lists errors that may occur when using third-party video and audio plug-ins.
Selecting the error message in the Event panel, and then clicking Details, provides more informa-
tion about the specific error.
