How to use LightRoom with elements of Prime Minister?

I learned recently from LightRoom 5 and quite comfortable with it. I'm now working on the film editing, starting with Prime Minister 11 elements. I'm just starting to go through it and I see that it fits in an organizer that looks German to the Group of items. Problem is that I am already using LR for the organization. Am a little confused.

Can anyone suggest how to collaborate with LR and elements of Prime Minister?

A secondary issue has to do with the management of audio files. I see that the elements Organizer includes also audio files. But LR does not work. So far I've managed audio with Windows Media Player. Can anyone offer suggestions for moving forward with audio management?

I use Lightroom 5.2 and Prime Minister 11 elements on a laptop to the PC i7 optimized video fast with a lot of memory.  There's even a Blu - Ray burner!

My files photo and video are first copied and stored by the camera and the date.  Then, I use LR to organize and preview, review and select photos and clips.  IMO, the ability of a snippet clip of LR is very good.  LR will allow you to make a few simple changes to clips but I use for video, only of the photos.  My photos will be a mixture of JPG and RAW and I will tune them with LR.  Some of the pictures can get some additional masking or HDR work elsewhere and then brought back in LR.

As I saw the clips as well as photos, I want to use I put them in a collection of LR.  Then I prepare a specific folder of the project on my SSD named something like "holiday".   If it's a big project, I'll do a few subfolders such as city names.

The big step is to 'Export' of copies of all of the goods that I have chosen for the collection.  I open the collection and select everything in it.  Right-click, choose Export, set the destination, rename them if you want, select "include the video", select "Original" video format, select PSD for images and press the export button.

The reason for the 'Original' video is because I don't want any additional compression or conversion of video clips.  I want elements of Prime Minister to do so.  The reason for "PSD", is I want my photos always LR settings appear before putting them in the project.

Then I opened a new project of pre.  Before adding any of the assets, make sure that the "scratch disks" is assigned to the project folder.

With the game of "scratch disks", I then load assets.  One of the primary video clips making sure is the first to be placed on the timeline, as that adjusts the "project settings" if necessary.  Then I begin to build the video with the security of knowing that I work only on a set of copies of image and clip.

My audio file management is made entirely in the way old-fashioned in Windows Explorer.  I have a folder of audio and a system of folders and descriptive file names.  I can preview them in Windows Explorer before you import a copy into a project folder.  Clip length and volume settings are made to copy it in pre.  I often buy an audio clip of $2 Vimeo specific for the project because I like having a license to use the music!

When I finished, I move the folder of the project somewhere for long term storage.

Hope some of this works for you.  If you have any suggestions, I'd be happy to hear.
