Importing and adding media

Files that you add to a project are visible in the Project view and are automatically added to the Elements Organizer.
Added files can retain a link to the Adobe application in which they were created, if you select Embed Project Link
when saving the file in the original application. This link allows you to open the file's original application from within
Adobe Premiere Elements, make changes, and immediately see the results.
Note: Some file formats require activation of components before you can add them to a project.
