Moving Files Between Programs

Do I remember reading that Premiere Elements files won't open in Premiere Pro?

(I've been running search but either I dreamed it or I'm not using the correct search terms.)

thanks,

If you are asking about the video files exported from Premiere Elements, yes, Premiere Pro will import them. If you are asking about opening Premiere Elements project files in Premiere Pro, it depends. Premiere Pro will open some versions of Premiere Elements project files, but not all. You can try it with your .prel files and see what it does. If it does open them, it will create a new Premiere Pro project file and not change the .prel file. Be aware that Premiere Pro does not have the same plugins and effects that Premiere Elements has, so not everything may import into the new project. In general, you should finish a project in the application that you started it in. Premiere Elements will not open Premiere Pro project files.

Yes, that's what I thought. Thanks so much for verification, Bob!
