Open projects

Select File > Open Project  or use Ctrl + O (Windows) and Command + O (macOS).

Browse to the project file and select Open.

If the Where Is The File dialog box opens, locate the file using the Look In field, or select one of the following options:

• Find: Launches the Windows Explorer (Windows) or Finder (macOS) search feature.
• Skip: Replaces a missing file with a temporary offline clip during the session. When you close your project and then reopen it, you see a dialog box that asks you to locate the file or allows you to skip it again.
• Skip All: Like Skip, Skip All replaces all missing files with temporary offline files.
• Skip Previews: Stops Premiere Pro from searching for any preview files already rendered for the project. This allows the project to load faster, but you may need to render parts of its sequences for best playback performance.
• Offline: Replaces a missing file with an offline clip, a placeholder that preserves all references to the missing file everywhere in the project. Unlike the temporary offline clip created by Skip, the one generated by Offline persists between sessions, so you won’t have to locate missing files every time the project is opened.
• Offline All: Like Offline, Offline All replaces all missing files with persistent offline files.
