t As you change the size of one frame, other frames change size to compensate.
t All panels within frames are accessible via tabs.

t You can drag a panel out of a frame to become a separate floating panel.
You can save your workspace as a custom workspace, and you can save as many
custom workspaces as you like.

Before changing the interface layout, though, you’ll adjust its brightness.
1 Choose Edit > Preferences > Appearance (Windows) or Premiere Pro >
Preferences > Appearance (Mac OS).
2 Drag the Brightness slider to the left or right to suit your needs. When done,
click OK.
3 Click the Effects tab, and then position your pointer on the vertical divider
between the Effects panel and the Timeline. Then, click and drag left and right
to change the sizes of those frames.
4 Place the pointer on the horizontal divider between the Effect Controls panel
and the Timeline. Drag up and down to change the sizes of these frames.
Tip: For those
of you working in
cave-like editing bays:
As you approach
the darkest setting,
the text switches to
white on gray. This
is to accommodate
those editors who
work in editing bays
in darkened rooms.

Note: As you move a
panel, Adobe Premiere
Pro displays a drop
zone. If the panel is a
rectangle, it will go into
the selected frame as
an additional tab. If it’s a
trapezoid, it’ll go into its
own frame.
