Converting a catalog from a previous version
When you open Elements Organizer, you could experience difficulties in opening a catalog you used in an earlier
version of Adobe Premiere Elements. Convert the catalog to view the photos and video clips.
1 In Elements Organizer, select File > Catalog.
2 Click Convert in the Catalog Manager.
3 In the Convert Catalog window, select the catalog you want to convert.
Note: Catalogs saved to a folder in a location other than the default location do not appear in the Convert Catalog
window automatically. Click Find More Catalogs, and then select the folder where your catalog is located. Catalogs
located in that folder are added to the list of catalogs that can be converted.
4 Click Convert.
Show Previously Converted Catalogs
You can view the catalogs that have previously been converted or that were backed up by an earlier version. The
Convert Catalog window does not display these catalogs by default. Select Show Previously Converted Catalogs to view
a list of the previously converted catalogs.
Note: You cannot use the converted catalog with earlier versions. However, when the catalog is converted, it copies the
data into a new catalog file, and the original catalog file remains unchanged. You can continue to use the original catalog
in earlier versions.
