Last updated 11/6/2011
2 In the Bins area, select options from the menus for Double-Click, + Ctrl (Windows) or + Command (Mac OS), and
+ Alt (Windows) or + Opt (Mac OS).
3 Click OK.
Label assets
Labels are colors that help you identify and associate assets. You assign and view labels in the Project panel. Label
colors mark assets in the Project panel’s Label column and in a Timeline panel.
• To assign a label to an asset, select a clip in the Project panel, choose Edit > Label, and choose a color.
• To select all assets with the same label, select an asset that uses the label and choose Edit > Label > Select Label
Group.
• To edit label names or colors, choose Edit > Preferences > Label Colors (Windows) or Premiere Pro > Preferences
> Label Colors (Mac OS). Click a color swatch to edit a color.
• To set default labels for a media type, choose Edit > Preferences > Label Defaults (Windows) or Premiere Pro >
Preferences > Label Defaults (Mac OS).
Note: Label defaults affect assets you add to the Project panel from the time you change the defaults; the command doesn’t
change label colors for assets already in the Project panel. To change label colors for assets already in the Project panel,
use the Edit > Preferences > Label Colors (Windows) or Premiere Pro > Preferences > Label Colors (Mac OS) command.
Rename assets
All files in your project are stored on your hard disk as individual files. Only a reference to each file is added to the
Project panel in Premiere Pro. Whenever you rename a clip in Premiere Pro, the original file and filename remain
untouched on your hard disk.
Rename a clip
You can change the name for a clip. Premiere Pro stores the clip name with the other clip properties in the project file.
Changing the name of a clip does not change the filename of the source file for the clip.
Note: To automatically store the new name also in the Title field of the Dublin Core metadata schema, first link the Clip
Name property. See “
Link clip data to XMP metadata ” on page 114.
1 In the Project panel, select the clip.
2 Do one of the following:
• In the Project panel, choose Clip > Rename, type the new name, and press Enter (Windows) or Return (Mac OS).
• In the Project panel, click the Name field, type the new name, and press Enter (Windows) or Return (Mac OS).
• In the Metadata panel, click the triangle next to Clip to show the clip properties fields. Type the new name into the
Name field, and press Enter (Windows) or Return (Mac OS).
The Rename command is available when you right-click (Windows) or Control-click (Mac OS) a clip in the Project
panel, or in a Timeline.
Rename an original source file
❖ Quit Premiere Pro and rename the file on the Windows desktop.
The next time you open the project, Premiere Pro asks you to locate the file.
