This seems similar to Maya, but it is not: the project is saved as one file, not as a directory with many sub directories and multiple scene files. Still, it can contain multiple edits or timelines.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The file-type is Premiere Pro Project (.prproj)<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Just like texture images do not become part of your Maya scene but are referenced, the source material (a.k.a.
