Part I ✦ Getting Started with Premiere
Changing the time zoom level
Most Premiere users create their video projects at 15 to 30 frames per second.
Viewing all of these frames on the Timeline quickly consumes Timeline space. As
you work, you’ll probably want to switch time intervals back and forth between
viewing individual frames and viewing frames by seconds.
To switch time intervals on the Timeline, click the Timeline Zoom level pop-up
menu at the lower-left corner of the Timeline. Figure 1-7 shows the Timeline Zoom
level pop-up menu. To see each frame in the production as an individual unit on
the Timeline, click 1 Frame in the pop-up menu. To switch time intervals to view
1-second intervals, choose 1 Second in the pop-up menu. Choosing 1 Second gives
you a good sense of how long each clip is and how long transitions will be. When 1
Second is chosen, each tick mark on the Timeline represents half a second.

You can also use the Navigator palette to change the Timeline Zoom level. See
Chapter 2 to learn about the Navigator palette.
