Save a custom workspace
As you customize a workspace, the application tracks your changes, storing the most recent layout. To store a
specific layout more permanently, save a custom workspace. Saved custom workspaces appear in the Workspace
menu, where you can return to and reset them.
❖
Arrange the frames and panels as desired, then choose Window > Workspace > New Workspace. Type a name
for the workspace, and click OK.
Note: If a project saved with a custom workspace is opened on another system, the application looks for a workspace
with a matching name. If it can't find a match (or the monitor configuration doesn't match), it uses the current local
workspace.
Reset a workspace
Reset a workspace to return to its original, saved layout of panels.
❖
With the workspace you want to reset active, choose Window > Workspace > Reset workspace
name.
Delete a workspace
1 Choose Window > Workspace > Delete Workspace.
Choose the workspace you want to delete, and then click OK.

1 Choose Edit > Preferences > User Interface (Windows) or Premiere Pro > Preferences > User Interface (Mac OS).

Tools, clip details, and menus

Tools
The Tools panel contains a number of tools for editing sequences in a Timeline panel. When you select a tool, the
pointer changes shape according to the selection. For example, when you select the Razor tool and position the
pointer over a clip in a Timeline panel, the icon changes to a razor
change to reflect the task currently being performed. In some cases, pressing a modifier key (such as Shift) as you
use a tool changes its function, and its icon changes accordingly. Select tools from the Tools panel, or use a keyboard
shortcut. You can resize the Tools panel and orient it vertically or horizontally.
Note: The Selection tool is the default tool. It's used for everything other than specialized functions. If the program isn't
responding as you expect, make sure that the Selection tool is selected.
