1.

Select Edit > Preferences > User Interface.

2.

Slide the Brightness slider to the left or right to suit your needs. When done, click OK.

As you approach the darkest setting, the text switches to white on gray. This is to accommodate those editors who work in editing bays in darkened rooms.

3.

Place your cursor on the vertical divider between the Effect Controls panel and the Timeline. Click and drag left and right to change the sizes of those frames.

4.

Use the Snap feature to adjust those frames so those dividers line up. Those four frame corners should like this next figure.

Premiere Pro provides immediate context help in two ways: tool tips and messages displayed along the bottom of the interface. For example, as you click on a frame divider, a message appears at the bottom letting you know about the Snap feature. If you hover the cursor over the Program Monitor controls, tool tips pop up.

5.

Place the cursor on the horizontal divider between the Effect Controls panel and the Project panel and slide them up and down.

6.

Click on the History panel tab's upper left corner (its drag handle) and drag it to the top of the interface, next to the Project tab, to dock it in that frame.

With the History panel added to the frame with the Project panel, you cannot see all the tabs. In this case a slider appears above the tabs. Slide it left or right to reveal all the tabs. You can also open a hidden (or any other) panel from the Main Menu by selecting Window and then clicking on a panel name.

7.

Click and drag the Effect Controls drag handle to a point about mid-way up into the Project panel to place it in its own frame.

8.

Click on the Program Monitor's drag handle and hold down the Ctrl key while dragging it out of its frame. Its drop zone image is much more distinct, indicating you are about to create a floating panel.

9.

Drop the Program Monitor anywhere, creating a floating panel. Expand it by dragging one of its corners.

Use a floating panel to increase the viewing area of a panel beyond its frame's borders. This can come in handy when adjusting the many parameters in the Audio Mixer, Effect Controls, and Program Monitor.

10.

As you gain editing acumen, you might want to create and save a customized workspace. To do that, select Window > Workspace > Save Workspace. Type in a workspace name and click Save.
