Changing the available label colors
You can assign up to 16 colors as labels to items in your project. There are seven types of
items that label colors can be assigned to automatically based on the item type (video,
audio, still, etc.), which means there are nine spare label colors.
If you choose Premiere Pro CC > Preferences > Labels (macOS) or Edit > Preferences >
Labels (Windows) , you’ll see the list of colors, each with a color swatch. You can click
the color swatch to change the color, and you can click the name to rename it.
You can use the Label Defaults options to choose different default labels for each kind of
item in your project.Changing names
Because clips in your project are separate from the media files they link to, you can rename
items in Premiere Pro and the names of your original media files on the hard drive are left
untouched. This makes it safe to rename clips—and it can be helpful when organizing a
complex project.
If you opened the Theft Unexpected bin by double-clicking it, it will have opened as a new panel
in the same group as the Project panel. Let’s begin by navigating between bins.
At the top left of the Theft Unexpected bin, you’ll see the a button to navigate up. This button
appears whenever you are viewing the contents of a bin by opening it. Just as Finder (macOS) or
Explorer (Windows) have navigation buttons, you can use this button to browse “up” to the
container of the current bin. In this case, it’s the Project panel, but it could just as easily be
another bin.
1. Click to navigate up to the Project panel.You now have two instances of the same Project panel in the same panel group. You’re free
to arrange and position multiple instances of bins or the Project panel any way you like, and
they all have the same controls.2. Open the Graphics bin.
3. Right-click the clip Theft_Unexpected.png and choose Rename.4. Change the name to TU Title BW (that is, Theft Unexpected Title Black and White).
5. Right-click the newly renamed clip, TU Title BW, and choose Reveal In Finder (macOS) or
Reveal In Explorer (Windows).
