Customize the project name and description and click ‘Edit…’ to invite collaborators to the project.
It is important to use their Creative Cloud subscription email, so check if this is different to their usual email address.
Set your Scratch Disk to your local (or shared) storage location of choice.
Once they accept the invitation the new Team Project will be available in their Team Projects list. To see this click on File > Open Team Project > Invites (tab).
What is a Premiere Pro Productions project?
Productions is Premiere’s solution for collaborative editing on large gigs like TV series, long-form documentaries and feature films.
Productions lets editorial teams work on the same film collaboratively from distributed locations by dividing the workload into smaller, more manageable pieces, instead of cramming everything into a single project file.
It does this by grouping a collection of project files into a single Production. Think of it like one large project with a connected sub-set of projects for each folder and timeline.
Pros:
Enables collaborative video editing across teams
Project locking and access limitations prevent conflicts
Projects within a Production are aware of each other so no media is duplicated
Shared storage requirements mitigate manual media management
Doesn’t need internet access to work — important for secure media environments
Cons:
Requires shared storage (online or offline) to work
Organizational discipline is essential to keep everyone in sync
The Production structure is highly flexible but requires a ‘new way’ of working
If you’re an Avid Media Composer editor, Productions will sound like a familiar workflow. That’s because Productions is essentially Adobe’s answer to Avid bin locking, where individual bins (folders) in a project can be shared and separately opened by different members of the team.
Productions are ideal for teams working on large-scale TV series or films because they let teams of any size work together in a relay-race. Each time someone opens a project everyone else is locked out from making changes until the first person closes it.
It is still possible to ‘read’ from that locked project, but not make any changes.
As each project is aware of the other projects in the same production, media isn’t duplicated when you copy it from project to project (which happens with ‘normal’ Premiere Pro projects). This helps to avoid project file bloat.
