Thanks for the advice Richard. Your assumption is correct. Premiere Elements projects are filed as .prel which are not recognized by Pro. I even tried copying & pasting the timeline from Elements to Pro but the clipboard would not carry from one to the other. However, thanks to Glen, he stated the obvious. Why is it sometimes we don't see the wood for the trees. I exported the movie to .avi and then imported the .avi into Pro, which worked perfectly. But this leads me to one last question. There is an obvious reduction in quality using .avi as the go between. Would it be better, albeit not as quick, to export the Elements movie to tape, and them import the tape into Pro?
