Question #1: Teams Projects

Team Projects in Premiere Pro – as well as for After Effects - has been around for quite a while. And it’s free!

Team Projects is Adobe’s solution for creatives who each have their own local edit system– either at the office or at home – and a local copy of the media attached to that edit machine. Meaning, no one in your team is using any shared storage. Everyone accesses a Project that Adobe hosts in the cloud. And because Creative Cloud is managing the Team Projects database, versions and changes are tracked.

Of course, this workflow does require discipline, including organizing media carefully and utilizing standardized naming conventions.

But once you’re in the groove, Team Projects is very easy to use.

Let’s take a quick look, so you can see how the flow goes.

You can start the process when you have Premiere Pro Open. Give the project a name, and then add Team members as collaborators with their email addresses. They’ll get a desktop notification through Creative Cloud that they’ve been added to the Team project.

Be sure to check your scratch disks on the 3rd tab correctly – as every team project editor will be saving their files to their own local storage

Fast Forward till we have an edit we want to share. In your Team project pane, you’ll see a cute little arrow at the bottom right of the pane, that tells you to share your changes in the team project. Don’t worry if you forget, if you look sequence name tab, and see an arrow, that’s a reminder to share and upload your changes.

Click the “Share My Changes” button, and you’ll see all the stuff you’ll be sharing with your team members. Add a comment if you wanna summarize what you did. Click “Share”. Premiere Pro will then upload your changes to your Team’s Creative Cloud account.

Your Team members will then open the Team Projects they’ve been invited to through the Creative Cloud Desktop app. Don’t worry – if any media files are marked offline in Premiere, team members can either relink to that media if they have it locally, or you can download them from within Premiere Pro via the Media Management option in Premiere.

As you can see, this is where the aforementioned Scratch disks, media management, and organization really come into play – or else you’ll be relinking all day.

Despite the fact Team Projects has been around for a while, it’s still an excellent solution that is already part of your Adobe Creative Cloud subscription, so there is no extra cost to test it out.

Great to finally have this back! I'm loving the new digs. This was a fantastic review of where the industry currently is with remote editing.

[EvansMTBSaga]

Before I watch this, I'd like to compliment your audio quality and narration skills

[DavidParke]

I’ve been using a hybrid of productions and the teams idea in that all productions are saved on CC Files, proxies are synced up to CC Files, project elements such as audio, VFX, SFX, and Music are synced via CC Files, and we all have identically named local RAIDs with our CC Files syncing down to them at the same file path.

So far this has been solid in that CC Files is fast(er than google drive or other cloud solutions) and the bin locking works pretty seamlessly.

Only one editor needs the camera masters and this only hits us in the butt SOMETIMES when one system sees proxy audio as the wrong channel configuration (even when it’s not)

I keep wanting to pull you aside at events to chat about this but you’re a popular dude. One day!

[othermichigansaturn]

I read the article, and I love having accompanying media as more food for thought. Cheers!

Welcome back Mike! You've been missed

[JMSVIDEOPRODUCTIONS]

EXCELLENT information and presentation as always Michael!!!

[ManenbergFilms]

Michael - will you or have you covered Nexis Edge at all? A nice option though I wonder if there's been much take up yet

[DevilKid]

Hey! Do you know where they can see the comment you add when you update your changes?
We tried to do it, but it seems that the other collaborator cannot see any comment :(

[ChloeLCrawford]

Hi, newbie here... My editor has invited me to our team project but all the files being used are in a shared google drive. How do I locate those files so I can see what she's edited in Premiere pro?

[ericweiner]

Does LucidLink actually work? That sounds amazing if it does.

[austinjamesgolf]

I am so confused after watching this video lol. What would you recommend for someone looking to work on a premier project with one remote editor in the Philippines? I was planning on using a shared google drive and a premier teams project, but it kind of sucks because the editor has to download the footage locally and relinking everything sounds like a bit*h.

[dianegrandchamp]

Hi! Such a useful video thank you! I'm confused about the difference between Bebop and something like Postlab - anyone able to clarify for me? Also, it seems to me that you suggest Bebop as an alternative to something like Productions. I'm actually wondering - could a service like Bebop be used to simulate/replace shared storage and thus allow a team to actually use Productions despite not having actual (proper) shared storage?

[keenandjekic]

I don’t have the share button on my adobe me and my buddy are trying so hard to edit the same video we only have publish and update please please help

[NewYorkerPEACE]
