Bring all your photos and videos from any folder on a computer or from devices such as cameras, card readers, and scanners into Elements Organizer. You can then organize them in many ways and make them look great.
When you import media, Adobe Premiere Elements stores the details of the imported files in a catalog. The catalog contains links to the files and records of details, such as tags that you attach to your media.
If you created a catalog with a previous version of Premiere Elements, Premiere Elements prompts you to convert your catalog so that it is compatible with the current version. Converting a catalog is a one-time process. For more information, see Convert a catalog of a previous version.
