Question

Can I cut a clip from one project and paste into a new project?

I have some old film movies that I had transferred to DVDs in a .mov format.  I have loaded one of the DVDs into Premier Elements 2018 and I would like to be able to cut sections out of this video and start a new project with this.  Is there a way to do that?  My other option would be to delete everything but the info I want and then save this as a new project, but this seems like more work.

Thanks.

    There is not a cut and paste function or sequence process in Premiere Elements. 

    You can set the work area bars at a section and export only that section into new clips that can be used in other projects. 

    Do you want help on how to use the work area bars?

    You slide the WorkArea bars above the time line to match what you want.  Then at export you check the box to save only that part.
