Customize List view columns
The columns in the Project panel’s List view tell various things about the assets listed. You can select which columns
Adobe Premiere Pro will display, rename columns, and change their order.
Edit the display of columns
❖ Choose Edit Columns from the Project panel menu, and do any of the following:
• To display a column, select the option next to the column.
• To rename a column, select a column name, click Rename, and edit the name.
• To remove a column, select a column name and click Remove.
• To move a column to the left in List view, select its name and click Move Up. To move it to the right, click Move Down.
Note: If you can’t locate or change a column attribute in the Edit Columns dialog box, the attribute is locked by Adobe
Premiere Pro and cannot be changed. For example, you can change the names of columns you added, but not the
names of columns built into Adobe Premiere Pro.
Rearrange columns
❖ In the List view of the Project panel, drag the column header horizontally to the desired position.
Change the width of a column
❖ In the List view of the Project panel, position the mouse over a dividing line between column headings until the
Column Resize icon appears; then drag horizontally.
Sort by a column
❖ In the List view of the Project panel, click a column name to switch between ascending and descending sorts based
on the content of that column.

2 Select the name of the column after which the new column will appear, and click Add.

The names of most of the Project panel’s columns are self explanatory. Following are definitions for the less obvious ones:
Name By default, displays the asset’s file name. 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.
