When you click OK, Premiere Pro will automatically search for other missing media files in the
same location. This automation can dramatically speed up the process of relinking missing media
files.
Importing projects
As well as importing many kinds of media files, Premiere Pro can import sequences from
existing projects, along with all the clips used to create them.
You can import another Premiere Pro project file, giving limited access to project contents, or
browse in the project file using the Media Browser.
Let’s explore both options.
1. Choose File > Close Project. Open the project Lesson 18 Desert Sequence.prproj in the
Lesson 18 folder.
When the project opens, existing imported clips will be updated, linking to the copy of the
media on your computer. Check that the sequence plays without any offline media.
This is a montage sequence, showing images of a desert. Let’s take clips from this project.
2. Save and close the project. This updates the project file with links to the media you copied
into your local storage.
3. Select the Lesson 18 Working project in the Premiere Pro Home screen to open the project.
4. Use any method you prefer to import a new media file to open the Import dialog box.
5. Select the file called Lesson 18 Desert Sequence.prproj in the Lesson 18 folder, and click
Import.
The Import Project dialog box appears.
Import Entire Project: This imports every sequence and clip in the project you’re
importing.
Import Selected Sequences: This allows you to select the specific sequence, or
multiple sequences, you’d like to import. Only clips used in that sequence will be
imported. Hold Command (macOS) or Ctrl (Windows) to select multiple sequences to
import.
Import As Shared Project: This adds an alias linked to the imported project file to
