Customizing the Project 
panel columns
While you have the Project panel stretched wide, try dragging the column headers. 
You can move columns left or right to suit your style of work.
5
Drag the Project panel to its original size. If you have problems formatting the 
workspace the way it was originally, choose Window > Workspace > Reset 
Current Workspace.
6
Drag the video clip Medieval_Hero_02.mpeg to the Video 1 track in the 
Timeline. Click Play in the Program Monitor to view the video.
7
Drag explosion_still.jpg and Illustrator_file.ai to the Video 2 track above the 
video clip, as shown here.
8
Press the = key to zoom in on the Timeline or the - key to zoom out. Press the 
\ key to scale the Timeline to fit all clips on one screen. Zoom the Timeline so it 
appears close to what is shown here.
9
Drag the current-time indicator across the two graphic clips. Notice that the 
JPEG clip is too large (not all of it is visible) and that the Illustrator clip has a 
transparent background. JPEG files cannot have a transparent background.
#
 Note:
As you drag the current-time indicator, look at the Program Monitor. You will see only 
a portion of the JPEG image because it is larger than the project preset dimensions. By default, 
Adobe Premiere Pro centers the images on the screen and displays them in their original resolution. 
The next step explains how to view them in their entirety, without changing the aspect ratio of 
the images.

LESSON 2
Selecting Settings, Adjusting Preferences, and Managing Assets
10
Place the current-time indicator over the middle of the JPEG clip so it is visible 
in the Program Monitor. Right-click (Windows) or Control-click (Mac OS) 
explosion_still.jpg in the Timeline, and choose Scale to Frame Size to turn on 
that feature.
You should now see the entire image.
11
You can also manually scale the image from its full resolution using the Motion 
tool in the Effect Controls panel. The benefit of this method is that it allows you 
to pan or zoom up to the full image resolution. Right-click the JPEG again, and 
turn Scale to Frame Size off. Select explosion_still.jpg by clicking it once.
