How to Convert PREL to MP4, AVI, MOV, etc. for Video Playback and Sharing

What is PREL File

PREL file, using .prel as file extension, is a video project file created with Adobe Premiere Elements, a non-linear video editing program for Windows; contains a timeline, multiple audio and video tracks, video effects, and other settings; includes references to audio and video files rather than the media itself. Since PREL files are not actual media/video files, you cannot open them on any media platforms or media player programs.
