Step 1 – Automatic Playback
With CS6 your process for working is much easier since there is no need to drag and scan the desired footage in each clip one by one. The new adobe premiere pro comes with a mercury play back engine where everything becomes more responsive as compared to older versions. This is what sets this software apart from others of its kind.
In this case, we see that if we move the cursor across the footage, it starts playing automatically. If we move the cursor towards the right, the clip plays forward and on the other hand, if we move the cursor towards the left, the clip rewinds.

It also allows you to set the Mark In and Mark out points within the clips. This is a useful tool since you can determine the starting and ending points before bringing the clip on the timeline. You must ensure all steps are carried out properly in order to get the best results.

Step 3 – Marinating the Aspect Ratio
In Adobe Premiere when we drag and drop the clip on the timeline, a notification will pop up asking you what aspect ratio should be considered for the sequence. Keeping the right aspect ratio is necessary to avoid any loss of data after exporting.

Step 4 – Maintaining the Aspect Ratio
A new introduction in CS6 is the newly added workspaces. If you go to the Window menu and move over Workspaces, you can find different presets here.
For example, the Audio preset provides you with a dedicated mixing monitor that comes in handy while editing. You can handle each individual audio layer separately through this monitor. Similarly you can check out all the other presets one by one.
