The Expert view includes advanced features and tools, such as Audio Mixer and Time Stretch, that professionals use
to perform intricate video editing tasks.
In addition to the panels available in the Quick view, the Expert view contains the Project assets panel.
This panel contains the media files you import into your Premiere Elements project. Use the panel options to
organize the files as a list or in a grid. The grid view displays a thumbnail for each file. If you add any media asset to
the timeline, a green icon appears below the thumbnail for the asset.

For more advanced editing, use the Expert view timeline. The Expert view timeline graphically represents your
movie project as video and audio clips arranged in vertically stacked tracks. When you capture video from a digital
video device, the clips appear sequentially as they occur.

The Expert view timeline uses a time ruler to display the components of your movie and their relationship to each
other over time. You can trim and add scenes, indicate important frames with markers, add transitions, and control
how clips are blended or superimposed. The right-click options for the timeline are organized into easily accessible
categories. Compared to the Quick view, the Expert view timeline has more tracks.
For more information on using the Expert view timeline, see Arrange clips in the Expert view timeline.
Add Media
Use the Add Media panel to add media files to the Quick view sceneline. You can add media files from your computer’s
hard drive or from albums in Elements Organizer.
