Arranging clips in a movie
Last updated 8/12/2010
To help position clips at a marker, make sure that the Snap command is selected in the Timeline menu. (A check mark
indicates it is selected.) Then, clips will snap to the markers as you drag them into position in the Timeline.
Previewing movies
Preview a movie in the Monitor panel
You can preview all or part of a movie at any time in the Monitor panel. To preview a movie, Adobe Premiere Elements
must first prepare the clips on all the tracks for viewing, applying effects, motion, opacity, and volume settings. Video
quality and frame rate are dynamically adjusted so that you can preview the movie in real time. Movies that use only
cuts between clips generally preview at normal quality and frame rate. Complex movies (with effects and layered video
and audio) may need to be rendered before you can preview them.
Note: For information on rendering a video for preview, see Adobe Premiere Elements Help.
