Overview of workspaces

Learn about the Adobe Premiere Pro home screen and workspaces.

The main window in Premiere Pro is called the Application Window. Panels are organized in this window in an arrangement called a Workspace. The default workspace contains panel groups and free-floating panels.

You can customize a workspace by arranging panels in the layout that best suits your working style. As you rearrange panels, the other panels resize automatically to fit the window. You can create and save several custom workspaces for different tasks.

Navigate the Home screen

The home screen is where you begin in Premiere Pro. Here you can access the in-application tutorials, other tutorials, and online documentation. Use the left panel to start a new project or open an existing one.

The content on the home screen evolves as you use Premiere Pro. You can view more recent projects and fewer tutorials as you work on more projects and get more experience.

Workspaces

The Premiere Pro interface has panels organized into a layout and saved as a workspace. Premiere Pro has 16 default workspaces based on specific post-production tasks like color, audio, or graphics. Some of the general workspaces include:

• Essentials: Ideal for working with a single monitor. Everything you need is organized for easy access.
• Vertical: Ideal for working with vertical video. You can toggle between Source Monitor and Program Monitor in the same panel.
• Learning: Ideal for using the in-app tutorials and learning content while editing.
• Assembly: With a large Project panel, this workspace lets you quickly create rough cuts.
• Captions and Graphics: Ideal if you're working with captions or graphics.
• Review: Use this workspace if you want to use Frame.io for reviews.
• Production: Ideal if you're collaborating with a team on a Production.
