Workspace overview
The Adobe Premiere Elements workspace is optimized for the four major phases of a project: organizing footage
(video, stills, and audio), editing a movie, creating menus for DVDs and Blu-ray Discs, and sharing movies. You can
easily change from one task to the other by choosing different task-based buttons in the Tasks panel. As you change
tasks, the workspace displays the appropriate panels and panel views. You can also customize the workspace to meet
your specific needs by adding and arranging panels.
Drop zones are areas in the workspace onto which you can drop or move panels. As you drag a panel, underlying drop
zones become outlined. The highlighted drop zone shows where the panel will be inserted into the workspace.
Dragging a panel to a drop zone at any of the edges of a panel results in docking.
Note: To see the names of panels in the workspace, choose Window > Show Docking Headers.
