Share workspace
When you’re ready to burn a disc, or save your movie for viewing online or on a mobile phone, PC, videotape, or other
device, click Share in the Tasks panel. This workspace provides all the tools necessary to save your file for sharing with
others.
Use Quick share to create and reuse preset sharing options, making sharing quick and easy. For example, if you
frequently share projects by burning them to DVD, set up your optimal settings for burning a DVD, and save those
settings as a Quick share. The next time you want to burn a project to DVD, use the Quick share preset you created
instead of setting all the DVD options again.
Monitor panel overview
You use the Monitor panel when performing many tasks in Adobe Premiere Elements. For example, you can preview
your files and movies, trim and split clips, apply effects, create titles, and position images and text by viewing safe
zones, along with many other tasks.
The Monitor panel is available in every workspace. While you’re working with menus, the Monitor panel switches to
the Disc Layout panel, which makes it easy to drag and drop images and layout menus. While you’re creating titles, the
Monitor panel displays text tools so that you can easily create and edit text.
