Start a new project
When you start a new project or an InstantMovie project, you can review the default preset and its settings by clicking the Change Settings button. Make sure that you are using a preset that uses the same specifications of your source media. Important: Some settings, such as frame rate, size and aspect ratio, can’t be changed after a project is created—verify all project settings before starting a project. Using the wrong project settings can adversely affect performance as you work on your project. By default, the folder for a saved project also stores rendered previews, conformed audio files, and captured audio and video. These files are very large, so save them to your largest, fastest hard drive. To store these files separately from projects, choose Edit > Preferences > Scratch Disks. ==Open a project== You can open only one project at a time. To ensure that Adobe Premiere Elements can open an existing project, make sure that both the project file (.prel) and the source files used in it are accessible on your computer. Do one of the following: Note: Adobe Premiere Elements can open projects made in earlier versions of the program, but earlier versions of the program cannot open projects made in later versions. If you have two or more versions of Adobe Premiere Elements installed, you may need to open a project from within the software, or by right-clicking the file and choosing the application, rather than by double‑clicking the project file.
 * 1) Do one of the following:
 * From the Welcome screen, click New Project.
 * If Adobe Premiere Elements is open, choose File > New > Project.
 * 1) (Optional) To change the settings used, click Change Settings, select a different preset and click OK.
 * 2) In the New Project dialog box, specify a name and location for the project, and click OK.
 * From the Welcome screen, click Open Project, and then click the project name. (If the project isn’t listed, click Open, select the project file, and click Open.)
 * If Adobe Premiere Elements is open, choose File > Open Project or Open Recent Project; then select the project file, and click Open.
