After making your Project Settings selection, Premiere opens its workspace. At first glance it may seem busy and counterintuitive, but after working with it for a while you'll come to appreciate its layout. For now, I'll limit my discussion to only two features:
A/B editing defaults to a single monitor, which I think is counterintuitive and confusing. You can start Premiere by selecting A/B editing and then switch to two monitors (remember that Premiere is mind-numbingly configurable), but by opting for single-track editing you at least start with the right frame of reference. I'll give you a more detailed workspace tour in the next chapter. |
