Think Bigger From Filmora User Guide

Filmora 12/13 is now equipped with a new addition to its layout called the Property Panel.

The Property Panel shows you all relevant information on your project to display your clip's video, audio, color, and speed properties in the Timeline Panel or Preview Window. This makes all the info readily available so you can make adjustments when editing on the spot.

The Player Panel (Preview Window) shows you how the video plays in the Timeline. This is where you can adjust different settings, such as:

• Playback quality and display settings

• Capture a snapshot of the video

• Mark in and Mark out

The Player Panel can also be used as an independent panel or replaced with the default position by simply dragging the panel.

Note:

Underneath the time code is the Snapshot button. Snapshot lets you take a full-resolution still frame and automatically saves the picture to your Media Library as an image.

Also called your "Media Library," the Media Panel will display all your imported source files when creating a project.
