Correcting mistakes
To correct mistakes
In case you change your mind or make a mistake, Adobe Premiere Pro provides several ways to undo your work. You
can undo only those actions that alter the video program; for example, you can undo an edit, but you cannot undo
scrolling in a window.
❖ Do one of the following:
• To undo the most recent change, choose Edit > Undo. (You can sequentially undo as many as 100 recent changes
made to the project in any Adobe Premiere Pro panel. )
• To jump to a specific state of the project since the project was opened, select an item in the History panel.
• To undo all changes made since the last time you saved the project, choose File > Revert.
• Toundochangesmadebeforethelasttimeyousavedaproject,tryopeningapreviousversionofyourprojectin
the Premiere Auto-Save folder, and then choose File > Save As to store the project in a location outside of the
Premiere Auto-Save folder. The number of previous versions saved depends on the Auto Save preference settings.
• To stop a change that Adobe Premiere Pro is processing (for example, when you see a progress bar), press Esc.
• To close a dialog box without applying changes, click Cancel.
• To set all values in an applied effect back to the default values, click the Reset button for the effect in the Effect
Controls panel.

History panel
Use the History panel to jump to any state of the project created during the current working session. Each time you
apply a change to some part of the project, the new state of that project is added to the panel. You can modify the
project from the state you select. History states aren’t available for actions within the Capture and Titler panels.
The following guidelines can help you with the History panel:
• Program-wide changes, such as changes to panels, windows, and preferences, are not changes to the project itself
and so are not added to the History panel.
• After you close and reopen the project, the previous states are no longer available in the History panel.
• The oldest state is at the top of the list, and the most recent one is at the bottom.
• Each state is listed with the name of the tool or command used to change the project as well as an icon representing
the tool or command. Some actions generate a state for each panel affected by the action, such as the Titler. Actions
you perform in such a panel are treated as a single state in the History panel.
• Selecting a state dims those below it, to indicate which changes will be removed if you work from the project at
that state.
• Selecting a state and then changing the project removes all subsequent states.
