Adobe Premiere Pro includes the toolbox, Info and History palettes. When displayed,
palettes always appear on top of all windows. The Info palette displays information about
the item selected in the Project or Timeline windows, or in the Source view’s clip menu.
The History palette lets you navigate among the available levels of undo. You can display,
hide, or recombine palettes as you work. You can display the toolbox vertically
or horizontally.
You can also adjust the brightness of the background color in palettes and windows. (See
“Adjusting user interface brightness” on page 46.)

Changing palette display
You can change the display of palettes so that they are arranged effectively with windows.
To show and hide palettes:
Do one of the following:
•
To show a palette, choose its name from the Window menu or click its tab if visible.
•
To hide a palette, click the close box on its tab.
•
To hide or show all open palettes, press the Tab key.
To group the Info and History palettes:
Drag one palette’s tab to another.
To separate a palette:
Drag a palette tab to another location.
To display the toolbox vertically or horizontally:
Right-click the background color of the toolbox (not an individual tool) and select an
orientation option.
If you have more than one monitor connected to your system and if your system
supports a multiple-monitor desktop, you can drag palettes to any monitor.
Using the Info palette
The Info palette displays information about a selected item. For clips, the Info palette
displays information such as duration, In point, and Out point. The information displayed
may vary depending on factors such as the media type and the current window. For
example, an empty space in the timeline, a rectangle in the Title window, and a clip in the
Project window display information unique to each item.
In the Info palette, the Video line indicates the frame rate, dimensions, and pixel aspect
ratio, in that order. The Audio line indicates the sample rate, bit depth, and channels, in
that order.
Using the History palette
Use the History palette to jump to any state of the project created during the current
working session. Each time you apply a change to some part of the project, the new state
of that project is added to the palette. You can modify the project from the state you
select. History states aren’t available for actions within the Capture and Adobe Title
Designer windows.
The following guidelines can help you with the History palette:
•
Program-wide changes, such as changes to palettes, windows, and preferences, are not
changes to the project itself and so are not added to the History palette.
•
Once you close and reopen the project, the previous states are no longer available in
the History palette.
•
Choosing the Revert command deletes all the states that existed since the last save.
•
The oldest state is at the top of the list, and the most recent one is at the bottom.
