appears by its name. If the panel isn’t open, it opens in a window when you choose it in the
Windows menu. If you have more than one video sequence on the screen, you see them listed in
the Window

This section provides an overview of the panels that enable you to create the various elements of
your digital video project.
Manipulating Premiere Pro panels
You can work more efficiently if you know how to group and dock Premiere Pro’s panels. Grouping
and docking panels helps to ensure that you’re making the best use of available screen real estate.
All of Premiere Pro’s video-editing tools reside in panels that you can group or dock together in virtu-
ally any combination. When panels are docked, they are attached to each other, so resizing one panel
resizes another. Figure 1.1 shows the Program Monitor being resized. Notice in the second frame of
Figure 1.1 that enlarging the Program Monitor reduces the size of the Source Monitor panel.
The images in Figure 1.1 are from the Premiere Pro CS3 QuickStart chapter. The Clock
image (bc0104.mov) is in the FilmDisc folder. The Airport image (BG113.mov) is in the
Artbeats folder.
