I cannot find the effects control panel. In all tutorial videos I have watched, it pops up automatically when an effect is dragged and dropped onto the video clip - but this does not happen when I do it. The picture/attachment shows the view I have when I drag and drop. Can you help me?

Error or problem

When opening Premiere hit the LEARN tab : Explore Premiere Pro panels

I have similira issue on PP 2023! Lets click on menubar and select "Window" ▶ "Effect Controls" !

It doesn't help that Adobe refers to it as the Effect Controls 'Panel' in all documentation, and yet it files this Panel under the "Windows" menu.

A simple, consistent lexicon helps both new and experienced users.

Maybe. But all the panels are in the Windows menu, so it's consistent. And you can figure this out the first time you open the app simply by seeing what's in the main dropdown menus. Pretty simple.

And at least, they don't come up with the totally "unique" cutesy Resolve-only jargon that BM does. As ... in that massive 4,000 plus page manual, if you don't know exactly what they call something, you ain't gonna find it ... period.

Such as masks? Nope, can't use that. They're "power windows".

Bm has a ton of those things. Much harder to sort than looking at the main dropdown menus.

Everyone's mileage always varies ...
