Instructions

Difficulty: Easy

Step1

To undo the most recent change, go to Edit, and then Undo. You can sequentially undo up to 100 changes within the project, assuming you have not closed and re-opened the project.

Step2

You can also jump to a specific state of the project since the project was opened, by selecting an item in the History panel.

Step3

Undo all recent changes made since the last time you saved the project by going to "File," and then "Revert."

Step4

If you must undo changes that were made before the last time you saved a project, open a previous version of your project from your Auto-Save folder. Then go to "File" and "Save As." Store the project in a location outside of the Auto-Save folder.

Step5

To stop a change that Adobe Premiere Pro is processing (any time you see a progress bar), press the "Esc" key.

Step6

To close a dialog box without applying changes, click "Cancel."

Step7

To reset any applied effect back to its default value, click the “Reset” button for that effect from within the Effect Controls panel.
