Hi can i get preview of every part of video on timeline or on another part ? I ask becouse if the video is big is hard i have already edit every name of clip for remember part of video but with some preview is more good.

If what you meant was whether or not you can see continuous video thumbnails in the Timeline, then yes; however, it takes a few steps.

1. In the Timeline Panel pop-up menu, change the default "Video Head Thumbnails" setting to "Continuous Video Thumbnails".

2. In the Timeline Display Settings pup-up menu, enable "Show Video Thumbnails" (it's enabled by default, so it should already be checked).

3. Expand your Video Track or Video Tracks

Premiere Pro only shows video thumbnails when a Video Track is expanded.  So, if your Video Tracks are at the two lower settings then you won't see video thumbnails even if you've done steps 1 and 2 above.  To expand your Video Tracks, choose "Expand All Tracks" from the Timeline Display Settings pop-up menu.  Alternatively, you can click and drag the Video Track boundary just to the right of the Toggle Video Output button (it looks like an eyeball) or you can scroll just below the track boundary (if your mouse, trackpad or other input device has a scroll option) to expand or minimize a Video Track.

I've included some screen shots below.

Yes thanks but is one little useless becouse you need always zoom on time line for see the preview i would ask another thing you can set different part of preview for every video ?

Sorry to circle back to this so many days later.

As far as the thumbnails that show inside the clip boundary in the Timeline panel are concerned, those are based on the footage itself.

In the Project tab, it is possible to set a "Poster Frame" that shows when in Icon View instead of List View.

• To set a poster frame for the icon, drag the playhead or shuttle to the desired frame, and then press the Shift+P (Windows) or Command+P (Mac OS) keys. To clear the poster frame, press the Ctrl+Shift+P (Windows) or Option+P (Mac OS) keys.
