Adobe Premiere Elements 7 Classroom in a Book

16 LESSON 1 The World of Digital Video

 e History panel (Window > History) keeps a running list of every step you take

during a project, and adds each action to the bottom of its list. To undo an editing

step, click it in the History panel. To undo multiple steps, click the earliest step that

you’d like to undo, and Adobe Premiere Elements will also undo all editing steps

after that point. For example, in the History panel shown, the Set Out Point will be

reversed, as will all subsequent edits.

 ese are the most prominent panels and workspaces within Adobe Premiere

Elements. Now let’s take a brief look at Photoshop.com, which is where you’ll back

up and share your photos and movies.

Working with Photoshop.com

Photoshop.com is an online photo and video hosting, editing, and sharing

site. If you’re using Adobe Premiere Elements in the United States, you can

register for a free Basic Membership, or opt for the Plus Membership (check

www.photoshop.com for pricing). All members can back up images and movies on

the site, with the Basic members allocated 2 gigabytes (GB) of storage space, and

Plus members having access to 20 GB of storage, or about 4 hours of DVD-quality

video.

If you’re already a member of Photoshop.com, you can login from Adobe Premiere

Elements by clicking Sign In on the upper right toolbar. If not, you can click Join

Now to register for the service.

Tip: In addition

to the History panel,

Adobe Premiere

Elements supports

multiple undos by

choosing Edit > Undo,

or by pressing Ctrl+Z.

Each time you press

Ctrl+Z, you are undoing

another step. You can

also redo a step by

choosing Edit > Redo, or

pressing Ctrl+Shift+Z.
