How to Export a Katalist Project for Adobe Premiere Pro

Step-by-step instructions for exporting your Katalist project and importing it into Adobe Premiere Pro

Written by Titi Taiwo

1. Export Your Project from Katalist

Once you’ve finished creating your video project in the Timeline:

  • Click the Export button at the top right of your screen.

  • Choose the Adobe Premiere export option.

  • This will download a ZIP file containing your project’s XML file and all media assets.

2. Unzip the Exported File

  • Locate the ZIP file on your device.

  • Right-click and select Extract All or Unzip depending on your OS.

  • You should now see a folder containing all your scenes as clips.

3. Open Adobe Premiere Pro

  • Launch Adobe Premiere Pro on your computer.

  • From the top menu, go to File > Open Project.

  • Navigate to the unzipped folder and select exported_project_file.xml.

4. Premiere Automatically Loads the Sequence

  • Once loaded, Premiere will open a new project with all your Katalist clips arranged in order.

  • This gives you a single, coherent video sequence with each scene already placed in the timeline.

5. Make Final Edits or Export as One Video

From here, you can:

  • Make edits, add transitions, music, voiceovers, or titles.

  • Once done, go to File > Export > Media to render your complete video as a single file.
