Preview area
The Preview area displays your production and provides all the tools you
need to customize the content of your production.There are two Preview
area toolbars: the standard toolbar, which provides the common tools that
are always available, and the context-sensitive toolbar, which changes to
display the tools to manipulate the item you have displayed in the Preview

video production. You can drag and drop video clips and photos from the

transitions, overlays, text, and effects. There are two ways to view the
Production Editor—the Storyline view, and the optional Timeline view.

clips to the Production Editor. You can open the Media Selector from the
Add Content area.

the right of the Preview area, by choosing View > Dock Media
Selector.
