Importing earlier Premiere Pro projects

You can add the contents of a project made with Premiere Pro CS3 on either Mac OS or Windows. In addition, on Windows, you can import a project made with earlier versions of Premiere Pro, or Premiere 6.0 or 6.5. The imported project’s clips and sequences are added to the Project panel in a bin named after the imported project. The bin hierarchy of the imported project is maintained within its new bin. Discontinued transitions and effects are not maintained. Use caution when importing a project into another project with a different timebase or audio sample rate, because these differences may affect edit positioning and audio quality.

Importing a project into another project is the only way to transfer its complete sequence and clip information.

Also, you can open projects made with Premiere Pro for Windows, including any contents that may have been imported from earlier versions, in Premiere Pro for Mac OS.

Note: In earlier versions of Adobe Premiere, storyboards were stored in files independent of project files. Premiere Pro contains all storyboard features within the Project panel. On Windows, you can import storyboard files created in earlier versions by choosing File > Import.
