Creating titles in Premiere is discussed in Chapter 8.

Viewing clips in the Project window

Before you begin assembling your production, you may want to view a clip or

graphic, or listen to an audio track. You can obtain a thumbnail preview of any of

the clips in the Project window by clicking the clip. The preview appears at the

upper-left corner of the Project window. If you are previewing a video or audio clip,

a small triangle (Play button) appears below the preview. Click the Play button to

see a preview of a video clip or to hear an audio clip. If you prefer, you can click and

drag the slider next to the Play button to gradually view the clip.

Double-clicking the clip in the Project window opens the clip in the Clip window.

You can preview the clip here by clicking Play (black triangle).

Using a storyboard

Before diving headfirst into a video production, consider planning your production

first by creating a storyboard. A storyboard is a simple visual representation of your

production, often resembling a series of cartoons with descriptions underneath the

visuals.
