Premiere Elements 2 for Windows: Visual QuickStart Guide

As you saw in the previous chapter, all the

files you add to a project—video clips, audio

clips, still pictures, and synthetic media like

leaders and mattes—are listed in the Media

panel. The more complex the project, the

lengthier and more unwieldy this list becomes.

Fortunately, the Media panel includes fea-

tures that help you keep your clips organized

and easy to find, as this chapter explains.

You’ll also learn how to perform other media

management tasks. For example, you can

specify how Premiere Elements interprets

aspects of a clip, such as its frame rate,

pixel aspect ratio, and alpha channel. Finally,

you’ll learn how to restore an offline clip

by reuniting it with its previously missing

source file.
