Change preferences

You can customize the look and behavior of Premiere Pro, from determining the default length of transitions to setting the brightness of the user
interface. Most of these preferences remain in effect until you change them. The preferences you set for scratch disks, however, are saved with
your projects. Whenever you open a project, it automatically defaults to the scratch disks you selected for it when you set up that project.

To open the Preferences dialog box, choose Edit > Preferences (Windows) or Premiere Pro > Preferences (Mac OS), and select the
category of preferences you wish to change.

To restore default preference settings, hold down Alt (Windows) or Option (Mac OS) while the application is starting. You can release the Alt
key or Option key when the splash screen appears.

To restore default preference settings and plug-in cache at the same time, hold down Shift-Alt (Windows) or Shift-Option (Mac OS) while the
application is starting. Release the Shift-Alt keys or Shift-Option key when the splash screen appears.

Preferences are stored in the following location:

For Windows: <drive>\Users\<username>\AppData\Roaming\Adobe\Adobe Premiere Pro

For Mac OS: <drive>/Users/<username>Library/Preferences/com.adobe.AdobePremierePro.plist
