Premiere Pro for Windows can open project
files created with earlier versions of Premiere Pro or Adobe Premiere
6.x. You can open only one project at a time. To transfer the contents
of one project into another, use the Import command.
Use the
Auto Save command to automatically save copies of your projects
in the Premiere Pro Auto-Save folder.
You may encounter missing
files as you work on a project. You can continue working by substituting
offline files as placeholders for the missing files. You can edit
using offline files, but you must bring the originals back online
before rendering your movie.
To bring a file back online
after the project is open, use the Link Media command. You can continue
working without having to close and reopen the project.
- Choose File > Open Project.
- Browse to the project file and select it.
- Select Open.
- If the Where Is The File dialog box opens, locate the
file using the Look In field, or choose one of the following in
the Where Is The File dialog box:
- Find
- Launches the Windows Explorer (Windows) or Finder (Mac
OS) search feature.
 When moving a project and
assets to a different machine, you can edit the file path in the
project file so that Premiere Pro finds the files associated with
the project automatically. Open the PRPROJ file in a text editor,
or in an XML editor like Dreamweaver. Search for the file path that
was used when the project was on the previous machine. Replace it
with the file path on the new machine. - Skip
- Replaces a missing file with a temporary offline clip
for the duration of a session. When you close your project and then
reopen it, you see a dialog box that asks you to locate the file
or allows you to skip it again.
- Skip All
- Like Skip, Skip All replaces all missing files with temporary
offline files.
Important: Select Skip or Skip All
only when you are certain that you want to rework all the instances
where the file is used in the project. If you want to keep the file
in the project but can’t locate it at the moment, use Offline instead.
- Skip Previews
- Stops Premiere Pro from searching for any preview files
already rendered for the project. This allows the project to load
faster, but you may need to render parts of its sequences for best
playback performance.
- Offline
- Replaces a missing file with an offline clip,
a placeholder that preserves all references to the missing file
everywhere in the project. Unlike the temporary offline clip created
by Skip, the one generated by Offline persists between sessions,
so you won’t have to locate missing files every time the project
is opened.
- Offline All
- Like Offline, Offline All replaces all missing files
with persistent offline files.
Note: Do not delete source files while you are using them
as clips in a Premiere Pro project unless they were captured using
device control, and you plan to recapture them. After you deliver
the final movie, you can delete source files.
