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 monitor window does exactly what it says on the tin. The monitor on the left allows you to watch unedited rushes, either by double clicking on them in the project window or dragging them across. The monitor on the right displays the edited footage on your timeline.

Both monitors have their own set of carriage controls. The strip along the top of the carriage controls shows how far through the movie you are, and the small grey block can be dragged back and forwards to scrub through the movie.
