Adobe Premiere Pro Project files pack everything you need to create stunning openers, explainers or marketing videos. Projects may cover a wide variety of content, so no two are exactly alike.
A project may contain multiple assets, sequences and placeholders, and the items within a project may differ from one another in their settings. Within a single project, you may edit and replace most content including text, colors, images, video clips and effects.
This tutorial will walk you through how to open a Premiere Pro project downloaded from Mixkit, or import it into an existing project, and where you may begin customizing. The process is identical on both Windows and macOS.
