Hi ATR,
I greatly appreciate your input. Unfortunately I do not have a great experience in movie editing using PE 11.
Therefore do not quite understand your question: 'What is the Premiere Elements project preset that will govern all these individual projects?'
Basically what I was asking is: I create numerous PREL files and keep them together with their source files in a separate directories.
For example, I have a set of source files with the corresponding Part1.PREL file in c:\project_part1 directory. I have another set of source files with the corresponding Part2.PREL file in c:\project_part2 directory and so on.
It means that for the project I have N PREL files with corresponding source files in N directories under c: drive. All of them are a part of one BIG Project. How can I combine all N small projects in one FINAL project?
In other words, how can I have the FINAL set of source files and FINAL.PREL file in c:\project_FINAL directory?
Just to copy edited source files from
c:\project_part1, c:\project_part2, etc. to c:\project_FINAL directory,
disregard Part1.PREL, Part2.PREL, etc.. create FINAL.PREL in c:\project_FINAL?
I will need the FINAL set of source files and FINAL PREL file from this directory to record the FINAL Project to AVCHD disk or Blu-ray disk.
Is my understanding correct?
