Tools panel and Options panel
When you open the Options panel, it opens by default in the horizontal docking area running just under the menu bar, forming the Options bar.
You can undock, move, and redock the Options panel like any other panel. By default, the Options panel contains a menu of workspaces and a
link to CS Services. You can also dock the Tools panel to the Options panel.
Tools
When you select a tool, the pointer changes shape according to the selection. For example, when you select the Razor tool and position the
pointer over a clip in a Timeline panel, the icon changes to a razor
. However, the Selection tool icon can change to reflect the task currently
being performed. In some cases, pressing a modifier key (such as Shift) as you use a tool changes its function, and its icon changes accordingly.
Select tools from the Tools panel, or use a keyboard shortcut. You can resize the Tools panel and orient it vertically or horizontally.
The Selection tool is the default tool. It’s used for everything other than specialized functions. If the program isn’t responding as you expect,
make sure that the Selection tool is selected.
