    The .prproj file (or a Premiere Elements .prel file), and Auto-Save copies of it if you have them (several files or a .zip of the Auto-Save folder). The media files are not needed.

    Options

    Pick the Premiere Pro version you have to get a copy it opens. Features that version lacks may be left out or changed when it opens the project.

    Every sequence as a Final Cut Pro 7 XML (DaVinci Resolve, Final Cut Pro, Avid, Premiere Pro), CMX 3600 EDLs per track and an OpenTimelineIO file. Clips, cuts, speed, transitions, position, scale, rotation, crop and opacity come across; other effects are listed.

    Your files are deleted after processing.

    Move a Premiere Elements project to Premiere Pro

    Premiere Pro doesn't open Premiere Elements projects (.prel), and Premiere Elements has no export for Premiere Pro. When an edit outgrows Elements, it usually gets rebuilt by hand.

    What this tool does

    Upload the .prel file. Every sequence in it is written as a Final Cut Pro 7 XML, which Premiere Pro imports with File > Import: the sequences come in with every track, the clips at their frames and in points, speed changes, transitions, position, scale, rotation, crop and opacity, linked to the same media files. DaVinci Resolve reads the same XML (File > Import > Timeline), and CMX 3600 EDLs and an OpenTimelineIO file come with it.

    Effects, titles and audio levels made in Elements stay behind; the result page lists each effect with the number of clips that use it, so you know what to redo. The media list names every file the project uses and where it was.

    A damaged Elements project

    If Premiere Elements says the project can't be opened, upload it too: what is still in the file is read, and a repaired .prel comes back when the project can be rebuilt. Premiere Elements writes the project's main bin near the end of the file, so a save cut off well before its end can't be rebuilt; then an Auto-Save copy is the way back. Those are in the "Adobe Premiere Elements Auto-Save" folder next to the project; upload the newest few together with the project.

    Results are deleted automatically after 30 minutes, or straight away with "Delete now".
