This tutorial is based on Adobe Premiere 5.1 for Apple Mac. The Windows version is very similar but newer versions of Premiere (version 6+) are slightly different.

The navigator window contains a small map of the timeline for your entire project. Its main purpose is to allow you to move to specific parts of your timeline quickly, which can be done simply by clicking on it. It also shows you where your work area is currently located, and which part of the timeline is currently visible on screen. The number at the bottom tells you the location of your edit line (in time code) and the controls next to that allow you to alter the magnification of the navigator window in order to zoom in and out. if you zoom in, it is possible for the timeline window to show only a part of your timeline in the navigator window, which will then be able to scroll horizontally.
