Exercise 4.1.1 Creating a Project
To start the first edit, you must create the project. A couple of clicks and you’ve got yourself a starting project.
In the Lifted library, Control-click (or right-click) the Primary Media event, and from the shortcut menu, choose New Project.
The Project Properties dialog opens to the default automatic settings.
For the Project Name, enter Lifted Vignette.
Click the In Event pop-up menu.
In Event specifies the event in which to save the project you are creating. The pop-up menu displays the events available in the open libraries.
Ensure that the In Event pop-up menu is set to Primary Media, and click OK.
The project is created and saved in the Primary Media event.
If necessary, in the Lifted library, select the Primary Media event and switch to list view.
The project appears at the top of the Browser.
If necessary, double-click the project to open it in the Timeline.

Changing Workspaces
The Timeline, in which projects are edited, typically occupies the lower half of the interface. If the Timeline is not visible, you need to verify a couple of interface settings.
Ensure that the “Show or hide the Timeline” button is activated.
If you previously selected a different workspace, reset to the default workspace in the Window > Workspaces menu.
