Selects hands off to Adobe Premiere as a .prproj file, Premiere's own project format. It opens as a native project with your clips, tracks, cuts, and markers already in place, so there is no XML to parse and nothing to rebuild by hand.
Hand off to Premiere
Open the timeline you want to work from.
Open the handoff menu in the top right and choose [Adobe Premiere] under [Handoff to].
Choose your settings in the Handoff to Premiere dialog, then click [Handoff].
When Handoff is ready appears, click [Open folder] to find the .prproj file.
Open the .prproj file in Premiere.
Note: Every draft in your project is included in the handoff, not just the one you are looking at. See Hand off to your NLE.
Handoff settings
Three settings sit at the top of the dialog:
Premiere version: choose [2024], [2025], or [2026] to match the version you will open the file in.
Nest multi-cam: when this is on, your camera angles are nested into a single sequence. When it is off, each camera arrives on its own track so you can switch angles freely in Premiere.
Include captions: adds your transcript to the exported sequence as captions.
Click [More settings] for the rest:
Topic titles: choose [As markers], [As captions], or [Off].
Add gaps between topics: leaves a gap between each topic in the exported sequence.
Include muted audio tracks: brings your muted tracks across alongside the audible ones.
Selects remembers these settings, so your next handoff starts from whatever you chose last time. That includes Nest multi-cam, so it is worth checking before a multicam export rather than assuming it is off.
FAQs
How do I keep my camera angles separate in Premiere?
Turn Nest multi-cam off before you hand off. Each camera then arrives on its own track, and you can switch between angles in Premiere as normal. With it on, all the angles are nested into one sequence instead.
Can I choose which drafts to hand off?
No. Every draft in the project is included automatically. If you only want one, hand off as normal and delete the sequences you do not need in Premiere.
Can I use proxy files with Premiere?
Yes. Create proxies in Premiere, import only the proxy folder into Selects, then relink to your original camera files after you open the .prproj. See Using proxy files in Selects.
