User interface Adobe video and audio applications provide a consistent, customizable workspace. Although each application has its own set of panels (such as Project and Timeline), you move and group panels in the same way across products. The main window of a program is the application window. Panels are organized in this window in an arrangement called a workspace. The default workspace contains groups of panels as well as panels that stand alone. You customize a workspace by arranging panels in the layout that best suits your working style. As you rearrange panels, the other panels resize automatically to fit the window. You can create and save several custom workspaces for different tasksfor example, one for editing and one for previewing.

Assemble and refine a sequence Using the Source Monitor, you can view clips, set edit points, and mark other important frames before adding clips to a sequence. For convenience, you can break a master clip into any number of sub clips, each with its own In and Out points.

You add clips to a sequence in a Timeline panel by dragging or by using controls in the Source Monitor. You can automatically assemble clips into a sequence that reflects their order in the Project panel. You can view the edited sequence in the Program Monitor.

Creating subclips A subclip is a section of a source clip that you want to edit and manage separately in your project. You can use subclips to organize long media files.You work with subclips in a Timeline panel as you do with master clips. Trimming and editing a subclip is constrained by its start and end points. However, you can set new In and Out points for a subclip, as long as they fall between the original In and Out points you set for the subclip when you create it from the master clip.

Create a subclip from the Project panel You can create a subclip from source clips or other subclips that are made up from a single media file. Double-click a clip in the Project panel to open it in the Source Monitor. Set In points and Out points in the Source Monitor To set an In Point or Out point in the Source Monitor, do any of the following: To mark an In point, drag the playhead to the frame you want. Then click the Set In Point button. To mark an Out point, drag the playhead to the frame you want. Then click the Set Out Point button.

Adding clips to sequences You can add clips to a sequence in the following ways:Drag the clip from the Project panel or Source Monitor to a Timeline panel or the Program Monitor. Use the Insert and Overlay buttons in the Source Monitor to add clips to a Timeline panel. Or use the keyboard shortcuts associated with those buttons. Automatically assemble a sequence from the Project panel. An overlay edit adds a clip by replacing any frames already in a sequence starting from the edit point and extending for the length of the clip. Overlay is the default method when dragging a clip to a sequence or when rearranging clips in a sequence.Adding a
