Convert PRPROJ to XML

No. The converter reads the .prproj file itself. You can rescue a timeline without a Premiere licence, after a trial expires, or when your version will not open the file. Premiere never opens, so it cannot crash on File > Export > Final Cut Pro XML. If your Premiere says the project was saved in a newer version, open it in an older Premiere shows which release saved it and how to import the XML.

Sequences, tracks, clip timing, source in and out points, names and media paths, bins, markers, track locks, clip gain and start timecode. It also converts cross dissolves and dips, constant speed changes, nested sequences, the selected multicam angle and basic titles. On 13 real Premiere projects, 97% of the 811 inspected elements match exactly. This is not a complete Premiere round-trip. Check the report for what each file lost, and compare effects, titles and audio after import.

FCP7 XML carries one sequence into an existing project in Resolve, Premiere or a conform tool. It is what most people mean by "the XML". A native Resolve project (.drp) carries every sequence and the media pool into Resolve in one import. FCPXML is for current Final Cut Pro. All three come from the same reading of your .prproj, and a paid project converts to any of them for 24 hours.

In Resolve, choose File > Import > Timeline, select the converted .xml, and pick your import options. Resolve relinks the clips to your media files by path or by name. Have the source media available for a full conform. The Premiere to Resolve page shows the exact results per test project.

Lumetri colour, Warp Stabilizer, blur and other effects. FCP7 XML cannot describe them, and Resolve rebuilds them on its own pages. Speed ramps become constant-speed segments, and eased keyframes become linear or held ones. Audio track routing is folded into clip gain. The conversion report lists each omission, so nothing disappears silently.

We have read and converted projects saved by Premiere Pro CS6 through Premiere Pro 26, including the 2026 multicam project structure. Earlier projects from CS3 to CS5 and Premiere 1.5 use a different internal layout that we have not tested. Check your file with the preview and warnings instead of assuming. The older-Premiere page lists the project format numbers we have checked and the releases that write them.

Yes. Each source clip keeps its own frame rate and dimensions. Nested sequences are written as nested sequences, and a multicam clip is written as the angle you selected. Processed or retimed nests are flattened to their visible edits, and the report says when that happened.

No. Your browser tab reads the .prproj and writes the XML. Media never leaves your disk. The XML references it by the paths already in the project, so Resolve or Premiere relinks to the files you have.

A Premiere project up to 200 KB converts free, signed in or not. Above that, $5 converts this project to XML, .drp, FCPXML or AAF for 24 hours. A project between 50 MB and 500 MB is $15. For regular handoffs, Pro is $9 a month for files up to 50 MB, and Studio is $19 a month for files up to 500 MB. See pricing.

Synthetic media such as adjustment layers, Black Video and colour mattes has no file on disk. Those clips export with their name and timing but no path, and the conversion warnings note it. Everything cut from real footage keeps its full path.

A project with no edited sequences has nothing to convert, because the converter reads timelines, not bins. If your project does have sequences and still fails, the structure may be unusual. Get in touch via the About page and we will look at it.
