   3. We’ll take a look at the buttons I’ve setup for editing Premiere Pro

Interface overview

1. 1. Lets take a look at the main screen and folder for my Premiere Pro editing setup
   2. On the main screen you’ll see there is a key in the upper left to go back up another level
   3. On that screen there are the keys to launch the Adobe products and basic PC sound controls

   5. One screen down are non-essential keys or one’s that didn’t fit on the main screen!
