Open rough cut in other applications

If you have Adobe Premiere Pro installed on the same computer as Prelude, you can send the rough cut directly to Premiere Pro.

To create a file for use in applications such as Premiere Pro or Final Cut Pro running on a different computer, use the Export option.

  1. In the Project panel, select the rough cut and other clips or bins you want to send to Adobe Premiere Pro.

  2. Select File > Send To Premiere Pro.

    Adobe Premiere Pro launches and prompts you to save the new project. If Adobe Premiere Pro is already open on your computer, the items from Prelude appear in the open project.

  3. The rough cut is displayed in the Project panel. Double-click the rough cut in the Project panel.

    All the markers added in Prelude are available in Premiere Pro. You can edit markers added in Prelude in Premiere Pro.

Export to other applications

  1. In the Project panel, select the rough cut and other clips or bins you want to export.

  2. Select File > Export > Project.

  3. In the Destination menu, do one of the following:

    • Select Local Disk to save the exported project on your computer.
    • Select FTP Server to upload the exported files to an FTP server.
  4. Enter a name for the exported project.

  5. From the Type menu, select either Premiere Pro or Final Cut Pro XML for final editing.

  6. Select Media to export the project file along with its associated media. Prelude exports media files to a subfolder at the specified location. You can edit the default name Prelude assigns to the subfolder.

  7. Click OK. Do one of the following based on whether you previously chose to save to a local disk or to the FTP server.

    • Select a location on your computer to save the exported file.
    • Enter details for the FTP server for hosting the exported file.

    Navigate to the folder or directory to which you exported the project. Open the Adobe Premiere Pro project or the Final Cut Pro XML file.
