I did this premiere session for a couple in 2013, not sure which version of Premiere is was using. I wanted to save it because they said they would be adding to it later. They were funeral videos. Now they are ready to revise it, but I can't seem to get it to open with all the tracks available like they originally were. I moved the one file folder, with all the elements in it, back to my raid drive, but when I open the project, using PP 15.3, All I see are sequences with one video track and one audio track. I'm re-rendering all to make new preview videos but, I'm getting weird results like giant type instead of my very normal text CG. I don't know what the correct procedure is to do this but I am apparently am doing it wrong. I hope someone can help me out. My session with them is tomorrow (Friday).

Chances are you've nested the sequence, not opened it.

Open Premiere Pro and hit F1.

No I didn’t. It didn’t make sense to me to import a whole project as an asset into a new project.

I had to go in and replace the titles on every slide with what I thought was there before. Tedious, but it did work.

I really couldn’t charge the client for any of the repairs I had to make.

Importing a project file rather than unjust opening it in a new version causing PrPro to convert the file takes maybe 10 more seconds to do, and often results in a better update of the project. Therefore saving a ton of time.

Ann gave you great advice.
