In previous versions of Adobe applications these guys that we all know and love and knew as palettes are now known as panels and there are several panels available to you in your interface depending on of course on what workspace you have currently open. So if we switch to animation we will have different panels appear and any panel that you can't find or you accidentally get rid you can always find under the window menu so you go tot window and then choose the panel that you're missing. For example you might want the paint panel and there it is. To get rid of panel click on the little X here and it goes back up here. So it's never really lost and the cool thing about panels is that they now live in what's known as a frame. When I click on a panel, you'll see that it's highlighted like so and you also notice that some of the panels of more then one panel in it, in that case these guys live in a frame. What I can do to move one panel into another frame is simply click on it and then drag it around like so. When I do so you notice something very interesting like a real picture frame, we have these little borders here and they tell us where the panel will go or wind up when we let go of the mouse. For example if I move my mouse to the center and let go it appears as a part of this frame. If I click and drag the panel along one of the borders this tells me that it will dock at that location and create a brand new frame. For example, I'll let go right here, now you see my composition window it got really tiny so I can go ahead and resize that by clicking on the edge like so. But this time control is now its own frame right next to the composition window. So I'm going to go ahead and click and drag and I'll put it down here. And now we see we have it attached down here as well. So that's really cool. Once again if you want to close it, just click on the X and it goes back up into your window and you can always get it back at any time by clicking on it and it shows up again. Now what I'm going to do is I'm going to let go once again in the middle and it becomes a part of that current window as well. Most of the panels have a little pop up menu that appears which gives you the options for that particular panel. For example, here's info, I'll click on the little pop up menu and I can undock it, I can close it and I can do all kinds of things that are associated with this particular panel. Let me go ahead and undock this for now and now you see that it floats by itself. That could be handy at times when you're doing certain tasks. So I'll go ahead and close it and I can always get it back again and drag it back where it belongs. So panels and frames are the new way of working with After Effects, they're customizable, you can move them where you like to, you can close them, you can make them float and you can always get them again by going to the window menu just in case you happen to lose it.
