Importing another project
You can add the contents of an existing project to an open project. For example, you can
break up a large project into smaller, more manageable pieces in separate projects, and
then import each project into a main project to create the final video program. When you
import a project into an open project, the imported project’s clips are added to the Project
window in a bin named after the imported project. You can import a project’s Timeline
contents at the beginning, end, or edit line in the open project’s Timeline. All of the
imported project’s special effects, such as transitions and filters, are included. If there are
tracks in the imported project which do not match track names in the open project, they
are added to the Timeline.
Premiere imports the project as an insert edit: Any clips on all tracks at or after the
insertion point are moved later by an amount corresponding to the duration of the
imported project. If you import a project at the edit line, it bisects any clips at the edit line.
Before importing a project, you may want to examine both projects to anticipate any
potential track conflicts, and save the destination project in case importing a project
creates results you didn’t anticipate.
To merge a project into a currently open project:
1 Make sure the destination project is open.
2 Choose File > Import > Project.
3 Locate and select the project, and then click OK.
4 Click Beginning, Edit Line, or End to specify where in the Timeline you want the imported
project to appear, and then click OK.
