premiere workspace has commonly used panels, but you can customize it however you like depending
on your editing set-up such as source monitor, program monitor, project panel, timeline sequence, tools
panel, audio meters, etc. Each panel contains a different set of buttons, options, and information to help
you edit your video. The panels are organized in tabs. At the top of any workspace section, click a tab
to display the panel. Through this, you’ll be able to spend more time editing, and less time looking for
