The names of most of the Project panel columns are self explanatory. Following are definitions for the less obvious ones:
Name By default, displays the asset filename. You can change the name the asset uses within the project. You cannot
remove the Name field from the List view.
Label Color that helps identify and associate assets.
Media Duration Length of the source file, expressed in the currently specified Display option.
Note: In Premiere Pro, all durations in any panel include the frames specified by the In point and Out point. For example,
setting the In point and Out point to the same frame results in a duration of one frame.
Video Duration The duration of the video component of a clip. To determine video duration, Premiere Pro takes the
difference between the video In point and Out point, and then incorporates any relevant adjustments, such as changes
to clip speed.
Audio Duration The duration of the audio component of a clip. To determine audio duration, Premiere Pro takes the
difference between the audio In point and Out point, and then incorporates any relevant adjustments, such as changes
to clip speed.
