Above is a screen shot displaying the layout of Premier Pro. To the left is a section containing all of my imported video clips. This was a positive part of the layout as you could select which piece of footage you needed and drag it into the the big window on the left. If you then decide that it is the right piece of footage you then had to drag it down onto the timeline, this then enabled you to edit the piece of footage.
In the bottom left hand corner of the layout of Premier Pro you can see a small section of folders. This is where the effects for footage on the timeline can be found. These effects where easy to use, if for example you wanted to crop a piece of footage yo would find it in the effect folders and then drag the effect onto the designated piece of footage. The layout is very effective and overall makes the editing process easier.
Tools
Razor Tool
While editing I used a variation of tools. The tool I used the most would probably be the razor tool, this is the tool that you cut the footage with. You use this when you need to shorten a piece of footage, you can zoom in to make more precise trimmings. This tool is easy to use as you only have to click where you want it to cut and it cuts it for you. this toll was particularly useful when trying to get lip sync to the correct timing.
Zoom Tool
The zoom tool is very useful on this premier pro especially when cutting footage, you can use this tool in two different ways. The first is a magnifying glass which can be found on the tool bar to the right of the layout. The other is a bar with a triangle in the middle, you drag the triangle left for zooming out and right to zoom in.
Cursor Tool
The cursor tool allowed you to move pieces of footage around into different timelines, and it also allowed you to edit the footage in anyway you liked.
