Designate a clip frame as a poster frame
In the preview area of Project view, you can replace the default clip thumbnail (the first frame) by designating any clip
frame as a poster frame. Specifying a new poster frame is helpful when the first frame doesn’t adequately represent the clip.
1 To access the Project view, select Organize > Projects.
2 Select the clip in Project view. If the preview area is hidden, right-click in Project view, and choose View > Preview Area.
3 In the preview area, click Play , or drag the play slider until the frame you want is displayed.
4 Click Poster Frame .
Organize clips in folders
The Project view can include folders, which you can use to organize project contents in much the same way as folders
in Windows Explorer. Folders can contain media or other folders. Consider using folders to organize media types, such
as DV captures, Adobe Photoshop Elements still images, and audio files.
❖ In the Project view, do any of the following:
Note: To access the Project view, select Organize > Projects.
• To add a folder, click the New Folder button at the bottom of Project view. If you click New Folder multiple
times in a row, each new folder is nested inside the previous new folder.
• To move an item into a folder, drag the item to the Folder icon. You can move folders into other folders to nest them.
• To display the contents of a folder, double-click the folder. Or, in List view, click the triangle beside the Folder icon
to expand the folder.
• To navigate from nested folders to parent folders, click the Parent Folder button at the bottom of the Project
view. You can click and hold this button to see a list of all the folders above the one currently listed. You can also
jump to a folder by highlighting it and releasing the mouse button.
