Display any panel full-screen

Last updated on Jun 23, 2025

Learn how to expand any panel to display it in full-screen mode, and toggle back to normal view.

When you are working in Premiere Pro and your editing workflow needs you to expand a panel full-screen, you can do so with the current panel in focus or the panel you are hovering over with your mouse.

  1. Hover your mouse over the panel you want to maximize.

  2. Press the accent key (`) to maximize the panel. Press the accent key once more to restore the panel size.

    Tip:

    Typically, this key lies just to the left of the numeral one (1) key. Some see this key as the back quote key, or the tilde key.

  3. Alternatively, you can select Window > Maximize Frame to maximize a selected panel and Window > Restore Frame Size to restore the panel size.

When Adobe Premiere Pro is installed on a computer with a non-U.S. keyboard, the Maximize or Restore Frame Under Cursor command might be mapped to a key other than the accent key. The key for Maximize or Restore Frame Under Cursor (and its counterpart, Maximize or Restore Active Frame) is listed in the Keyboard Shortcuts dialog box. To find it, select the Adobe Premiere Pro Defaults set. Then, select Application from the menu. Scroll down past the Help heading to Maximize or Restore Frame Under Cursor and set the most appropriate keyboard shortcut.

Premiere Pro keyboard shortcuts display customizable commands. The Maximize or Restore Frame Under Cursor command is highlighted and mapped to the ` (accent) key.
Use the Keyboard Shortcuts dialog box to customize the default shortcuts for maximizing and minimizing panels.
