Understanding Multi-Panel Workspaces

Multi-panel workspaces enable editors to arrange multiple panels simultaneously, optimizing the editing environment for specific tasks such as color grading, audio editing, or multi-camera editing. Customizing these workspaces helps improve efficiency and reduces the need to switch between different layouts.

  • Drag panels to position them side-by-side or stacked, creating a multi-panel layout.
  • Resize panels by dragging their edges for optimal visibility.
  • Once satisfied, save your workspace by clicking Window > Workspaces > Save as New Workspace.
  • Enter a descriptive name for your workspace and click OK.

Customizing and Managing Workspaces

After creating your workspace, you can further customize it:

  • Switch between saved workspaces via Window > Workspaces.
