Customize List view columns

The columns in the Project panel’s List view tell various things about the assets listed. You can select which columns Adobe Premiere Pro will display, rename columns, and change their order.

Edit the display of columns

Choose Edit Columns from the Project panel menu, and do any of the following:

To display a column, select the option next to the column.
To rename a column, select a column name, click Rename, and edit the name.
To remove a column, select a column name and click Remove.
To move a column to the left in List view, select its name and click Move Up. To move it to the right, click Move Down.

Note: If you can’t locate or change a column attribute in the Edit Columns dialog box, the attribute is locked by Adobe Premiere Pro and cannot be changed. For example, you can change the names of columns you added, but not the names of columns built into Adobe Premiere Pro.

Rearrange columns

In the List view of the Project panel, drag the column header horizontally to the desired position.

Change the width of a column

In the List view of the Project panel, position the mouse over a dividing line between column headings until the Column Resize icon

appears; then drag horizontally.

Sort by a column

In the List view of the Project panel, click a column name to switch between ascending and descending sorts based on the content of that column.

Add a column

Choose Edit Columns from the Project panel menu.
Select the name of the column after which the new column will appear, and click Add.
Type a name.
Choose a type. Text columns can contain any text you enter. Boolean columns provide a check box. Click OK.

List view columns

The names of most of the Project panel’s columns are self explanatory. Following are definitions for the less obvious ones:

Name: By default, displays the asset’s file name. You can change the name the asset uses within the project. You cannot remove the Name field from the List view.
Label: Color that helps identify and associate assets.
Media Duration: Length of the source file, expressed in the currently specified Display option.
Note: In Adobe Premiere Pro, all durations in any panel include the frames specified by the In point and Out point. For example, setting the In point and Out point to the same frame results in a duration of one frame.
Video Duration: The duration of a clip’s video component as defined by the Video In point and Out point and incorporating any adjustments applied in Adobe Premiere Pro, such as changing the clip speed.
Audio Duration: The duration of an asset’s audio component as defined by the Audio In point and Out point and incorporating any adjustments applied in Adobe Premiere Pro, such as changing the clip speed.
Video Info: The frame size and aspect ratio of the asset, and whether an alpha channel is present.
Video Usage: The number of times the video component of an asset is used in the project’s sequences.
Audio Usage: The number of times the audio component of an asset is used in the project’s sequences.
Tape Name: The name of the source tape, as entered when the clip was logged or captured.
Description: Optional description of the asset, entered when the clip was logged or captured.
Comment: Optional comment, entered when the asset was logged or captured, intended for identification and sorting purposes.
Log Note: Field for optional text entered through the Capture panel or Edit Offline File dialog box.
File Path: Location of the file on disk, expressed as a folder path.
Capture Settings: Indicates whether a file has capture settings assigned in Adobe Premiere Pro.
Status: Whether an asset is online or offline. If a clip is offline, this also indicates why.
Offline Properties: Whether the source of an offline file contains video, audio, or both.
