Chapter 5: Managing and viewing assets

After you import assets into a project, you can use Adobe Premiere Pro to organize them, view their details, and find
them quickly.

Customizing the Project panel

About managing assets in the Project panel
In the Project panel, you can create bins for assets of different types, place bins within other bins, and open multiple
bins simultaneously in their own panels. You can show or hide various columns of data in the Project panel, use
these to add important data to your assets, and sort your assets by any of these columns. You can switch between
List View and Icon View in the Project panel, and use the latter to rearrange assets in a bin. You can quickly locate
any asset by typing part of its name into the Find box. Finally, you can quickly show any assets in Adobe Bridge
where you can use an even greater variety of asset-management tools and share your assets between applications.
Change Project panel views
After you obtain an asset, its name appears in the Project panel. The Project panel lists detailed information about
each asset in your project. You can view and sort assets in either List view or Icon view. List view displays additional
information about each asset. You can customize the information it displays to meet the needs of your project.

• To change from one view to another, click the List View
of the panel, or choose View > List or View > Icon from the Project panel menu.

To arrange items in Icon view, drag an item to any square. As you drag, a vertical bar indicates where the item is
going. If you drag an item to a bin, the item goes inside the bin.
You can use Icon view for storyboarding and then use the Automate To Sequence feature to move the storyboard
into a sequence.
•
To sort items in List view, click the column heading by which you want to sort the items. If bins are expanded,
items sort from the top level and down the Project panel hierarchy. To reverse the sort order, click the column
heading again.
