In this panel you have your footage that you have imported from the camera. The colours represent what type of footage it is. Purples represent titles and blank footage so you can add titles and pictures and edit them easily. The Greens represent recorded footage or any type of footage that has been imported. With this you can edit them using the effects (See number 2) and which part of the footage you want (see numbers 4, 5, 6 and 8). The panel basically is the components that make up the video.

The effects panel is full of variety; these can be used on recorded/imported film footage as well has the titles and pictures. The effects are a lot different to those I have used in Windows Movie Maker, they are much more complex, they are worded differently to those in WMM which are worded simply and you can look at what action it does. The text effects have their own effects too, as well as those in the Effects panel. The effects in the Text are better for the text has it actually uses the effect on the text and not the whole segment as a whole.

This is the screen where you will see the footage you have selected in the left panel (See number 1) you can only see actual film footage not text or blank footage these have to be edited and placed in the time line separately to see them and work with them.
4, 5 and 6
These buttons are the point markers for the footage that you want to crop separately. Marker 4 is the starting point of the required footage you want and Marker 5 is the end point of the required footage this makes number 6. This is coloured in a lighter grey to show you what you have highlighted. This makes it easier for you to cut the footage you want out and see what it looks like by playing the play, pause, Stop, Rewind and Fast Forward buttons on the left (See number 7) On the left hand screen (See number 14) you can see what the footage will look like when placed into the timeline below (See numbers 9, 10, 11, 12 and 13) by doing this you can click and hold the reel button (See number 8) and drag to the timeline for the required footage you have marked out.
7
This is an alternative way to Rewind or Fast Forward at your desired speed, so you have full control on how far you want to go back or forward or how slow you want to go to get to a certain point.
8
This button represents the Film Reel, this will allow you to drag the whole video or as shown above the selected segment and place it on the time line without the audio. Which we will be doing as you will only need to hear the track.
9
This green bar represents the footage that you have edited/placed effects on or over etc; this allows you to see if you have “rendered” the footage together so that the effects work with the footage and runs smoothly when playing back. If there is the colour red in the green bar is means it hasn’t been rendered, so by using the keyboard shortcut “Enter” button it will render those pieces so that effects will work and the footage is able to work.
10
In this plane you can place another piece of footage that you want to appear before or after a certain point in the footage below that panel, and with that if you place it half way between that certain footage you can see the rest of it after the footage on top as finished.
11
In this plane you place your required footage that you have in the footage panel (See number 1) and add any effects you want from the effects panel by click and hold and drag and drop onto the footage within the time line.
12 and 13
This panel is for your Audio. This is where the track will go and will run throughout the video.
14
This is the screen where you can view your video you have created so far from the timeline, and just like those in numbers 4, 5 and 7 you can use the same technique to see the footage at a certain point or to get back to the beginning or the end.
Here is the Keyboard that is used for Adobe Premier; this makes it easier for the editing with these shortcuts.
