Does anyone know if there's a way to join two projects together in Premiere or take one project and copy it into the begining of another? Actually, I know about importing one project into another. Everything from the first project comes into the second project and is placed in a new Bin in the second project which is all well and good. However my problem is getting everything I did in the first project, all of the clips complete with transitions and animated graphics, into the begining of the second project so the result is one seamless project ready to be exported.
 
If you should use the hole projects its easer to export the projects to new files and then put them together in a new project
 
Can you explain that one a little more. I just put 1 and 2 together by importing project 1 into 2 creating a new Bin in 2 with all of 1's information and files. Then I went back to 1's Timneline and Selected All, Control C copied the Timeline, went to project 2, moved everything down 2's Timeline to make room for 1's Timeline and then Control P pasted 1's Timeline from the Clipboard into 2's Timeline. It all went smoothly and played back well...Once. I saved 2. Closed 2. Closed 1 and went to dinner. When I came back, I tried to open 2 and, well, let's just say I created swearwords! Luckily, 2 was Autosaved in a format BEFORE I joined 1 and 2. Anyone of you experts have any ideas out there relative to where I went wrong or a better way to go???
 
take project-1 and export to movie and save as a new files in a map on your HD, next do the same with project-2 in same map. Make a new project in Premiere and import project 1 and 2 and chose the project you will have first on the timeline
 
Importing a project into another project brings in the 'Sequences'

Create a new Sequence

Drag Sequence one from the project window to the new Sequence then drag Sequence two to the tail of sequence one. That is now a nested sequence of Seq1 & Seq 2.

As above you can also export each project as a movie ( lossless) and join them up with an edit and then export again. This is quicker but allows less flexibility if you want to change your edits in each part of the project..
 
Yeah I'd say use Shooter's method. It'll also save you a heck of a lot of hard drive space (cause ideally you'd export full uncompressed AVIs, not DV-encoded AVIs)
