There are three different views: 
1. List view  – no thumbnails, but lable color)
2. Icon view – scrubbable thumbnails no lable colour
3. That's the one we were all looking for: Free Form View – shows scrubbable thumbnails and lable color

Can't believe that after 5 years and we can still see labels in the icon view

It's crazy that we were able to see labels in icon view.

In Premiere 22 labels are in icon view indeed, but in newer Premiere versions they disabled them.

I can't understand why, it didn't cause any problem, nor was distracting! Why getting rid of a feature when it's alreay there?

Changing bin views

Bins have two views. You choose between them by clicking the List View or Icon View button at the bottom left of the Project panel.

  • List view: Displays your clips and bins as a list, with a significant amount of metadata displayed. You can scroll through the metadata, and use it to sort clips by clicking on column headers.
  • Icon view: Displays your clips and bins as thumbnails you can rearrange and play back.

The Project panel has a Zoom control, which changes the size of the clip icons or thumbnails.

This I know. When working on the "Icon View" the color labels used to mark in the list view don't show up. Is there a way to color code the bins in "Icon View" ?

Hi Alejandro - I was able to change the bin color in icon view by right-clicking on the folder and selecting label. The fly-out menu lists the colors available.

Your welcome Alejandro. I'll look into color coding the bins in icon view... if it can't be done now that might be a good feature request.
