What is a PRA file?

PRA files mostly belong to Print Artist by Nova Development. PRA is the file extension used by a Windows Media 9 Plug-in Profile file. It is a binary file format that stores a profile associated with the Microsoft Windows Media 9 plug-in. The Microsoft Windows Media 9 plug-in is used by Adobe Premiere 6.5 and is located in the Premier 6.5 plugins directory. The plugin allows exporting Adobe Premiere projects to Windows Media 9. Adobe Premiere is a video editing software and Windows Media 9 is a digital media platform for Windows. The PRA file stores export settings for the Adobe Premiere project exported using the plugin, including the output file format, the video codec, and metadata.
