  • How do I combine multiple project files into one

    Posted by Luke Stenger on September 8, 2009 at 6:39 pm

    I am working with Adobe Premiere Pro CS3 and I have 3 computers setup to use it (quadcore 2.66, 8 gig ram, etc. etc.)

    The project I am working on is a feature length film that has over 30 hours of raw footage. As you can imagine, I want to split up the work load so the computers aren’t crashing, etc.

    What are my options? I would like to split the whole project into a series of projects, but how will I combine them in the end?

    Also, I should mention the footage I am working with is 1080i.

    Thanks!

    Combining all three projects into one just requires importing the pproj files all into another new project.

    But this (importing the entire project) will create the problem you are currently trying to avoid (all your files will be in your final).

    When you are finished, you should import your final sequences into your master Project File. This will import only the files actually used into your final project.

    It’ll take a little bit of time to go sequence by sequence, but it will keep things from getting gummed up.

    If there’s a better way, I’d like to know about it (because this is a pain in the keester).

    You can also export the AVI’s of each project and import them in a new final project.

    But this will gobble up a LOT of hard drive space.
