Organizer
Adobe Premiere Elements lets you add video, audio, graphics, and still images to your project from numerous sources.
You can import from live or taped sources, and from a wide variety of devices in analog or digital format.
View clips in Elements Organizer
The Organize workspace enables you to find and sort material for your projects from among all the media files
available to your computer. For example, use it to find media files that you have placed into an album created in
Elements Organizer or an Adobe Premiere Elements project, that carry a keyword tag or star rating you have assigned.
You can sort the clips in chronological or reverse-chronological order. The Organize workspace shows the contents of
the last catalog you opened in Elements Organizer. To view the Organize workspace, click Organize > Media.
Note: To view a different catalog, select File > Catalog in Elements Organizer and select the catalog you want to open
from the list. To launch Elements Organizer, click Organize > Organizer.
