Open the file from the File menu, tick the sequences you need, then read the import report and relink any media that is still offline.

VLPremiere Pro opens .prproj projects and XML edits, so you can carry on with work you started in other professional editing software.

Open a project

1. From the File menu, open the .prproj or XML file.
2. Tick the sequences you need and confirm.
3. Read the import report.
4. Relink any media that is still offline. Missing media is searched for automatically first.

To add a .prproj, XML or caption file to the project you already have open, use the import command in the File menu (⇧⌘I).

What comes across

• Sequences, bins, nests, markers, transitions, keyframes, titles, shapes, blend modes and labels.
• Colour grades arrive as starting values, so check them in the Color workspace.
• Effects with no equivalent in the app are listed in the import report.
• .aep compositions and animated .mogrt templates render through the application that made them, when it is installed on your Mac.

VLPremiere Pro also imports EDL files, layered .psd images (one track per layer), effect presets (.prfpset) and export presets (.epr).

Opening Premiere Pro projects and XML is part of Pro and the 3-day free trial. On Creator it carries the PRO badge. SRT and VTT caption files import in every plan.
