Import clips from Adobe OnLocation projects using the Media Browser
In Adobe OnLocation, you can set In and Out points on clips. When you import a clip from an Adobe OnLocation project using the Media Browser,
Premiere Pro retains these In and Out markers. You can mark the good segments of clips in Adobe OnLocation, and select only the good
segments for importing into Premiere Pro.
1. (Optional) If necessary, copy the Adobe OnLocation project and clips to the machine running Premiere Pro.
2. (Optional) If the Media Browser is not open, select Window > Media Browser to open it.
3. In the Media Browser, browse to the desired Adobe OnLocation project file, and select it.
4. From the View As menu, select Adobe OnLocation Project.
The clips contained in the selected Adobe OnLocation project file appear in the pane on the right side of the Media Browser. You can sort
clips by their metadata fields.
5. Select the clips desired.
6. Do one of the following:
Select File > Import From Media Browser,
In the Media Browser, right-click any of the selected clips. Select Import.
Drag the clips from the Media Browser and drop them into the Project panel. In Premiere Pro CS6, you can drag clips to the Project tab,
and they are then imported.
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 time base 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.
Import selected sequences from Premiere Pro projects
You can import one or more sequences of your choosing from another Premiere Pro project.
To make the assets for a sequence easy to import with the sequence, first consolidate the project that contains the sequence. Collect the files
and copy them to a new location with the Project Manager.
1. Select File > Import, and browse to the project file containing the desired sequence or sequences, and select them.
2. Click Open.
3. In the Import Project dialog box, choose whether to import the entire project or selected sequences, and click OK.
4. In the Import Premiere Pro Sequence dialog box, select each sequence you want to import, and click OK.
