Merge multiple Premeire Elements projects (.prel) with adjusted clip edits

Merge multiple Premeire Elements projects (.prel) with adjusted clip edits (from Jerry Gildemeister)

I tried the workaround suggested by Steve_Grisetti but I get quality problems. In the final mix export clip, I see on the bottom of the video screen at the cross fadings a vertical bar overlapping the video. It looks like the program has problems to render a mp4 clip a second time!

"I can't believe that Adobe, for creating powerful software, has never developed such a basic and desirable 'merge/combine' feature that preserves all of the preliminary edits of clip cutting, adjustments, etc.."

Well, they have. That's one of the differences between Premiere Pro and Premiere Elements. 

Thanks Steve for the quick reply. I am aware of combining into a new project; however, only with complete loss of all movie clip cuts, edits, and adjustments, which will entail additional time to cut clips for arranging in planned category order.

Thanks again for the straight forward and prompt reply which fully answers my question, as I could not find anything on the internet/forums that fully addressed the issue of .prel files.

Also, Thanks to Bob P for the follow up. Much appreciated to clarify the issue/problem.

You can do that if you use Premiere Pro, but not Premiere Elements, as Steve has said.
