Learn how Productions help teams collaborate efficiently in Premiere.

Productions offers you tools for organizing multi-project workflows, sharing assets between projects, and keeping everything streamlined and efficient, whether you’re working on your own or collaborating with a team.

Getting Started with Productions in Adobe Premiere.

Productions provides a flexible, scalable framework for organizing multi-project workflows. With Productions, large complex workflows can be divided into manageable projects, for overall efficiency and collaboration using shared local storage. Assets can be shared between projects within a Production, without creating duplicate files. 

Individual editors can group related projects for improved organization and efficiency. Large projects (documentaries, films, TV) can be broken into reels or episodes where multiple editors collaborate according to their preferred workflow using shared storage network.

The established Premiere project format forms the basic building block of Productions. Productions add an additional layer, linking the projects and assets within them. A project within a Production retain all the attributes of a .pproj file. You can add existing Premiere projects into a Production. If needed, you can remove them to use as self-standing Premiere projects.

Tip

For thorough documentation on using Productions in long form and episodic workflows, refer to the Working with Productions chapter in the Best Practices and Workflow guide. Written by a team of industry experts and Adobe engineers, this guide covers a broad range of topics from dailies to turnovers and is designed to guide you through using Premiere in a professional workflow.

What are the benefits of Productions?

Manage multi-project workflows

When you have large or complex workflows, Productions lets you divide them into smaller pieces using the existing Premiere project format. Productions connect projects, making them components of the larger workflow and helping you keep projects and assets organized and efficient.

Keep everything organized and synchronized

Media referencing across projects lets you reuse assets in your production without creating duplicates. This helps you keep individual projects light and fast.

The new Production panel in Premiere provides a command center for managing multi-project workflows. Any projects you add to the Productions folder become part of the production. Whether you are working on macOS or Windows, any changes you make on disk are reflected in Premiere – changes in Premiere are applied on disk. Productions keeps everything in sync.

Designed for collaboration

Using shared local storage, multiple editors can work on different projects in the same production. Project Locking ensures that no one overwrites your work: your colleagues can still access your project and copy content from it, but they can’t make changes until you’ve completed your edit.

All projects in a Production share the same settings, including scratch disks. This means that preview files rendered by one editor are available to all editors who use that project, ensuring smooth playback and time savings for the whole team.

Security because you control your media

With Productions, you have full control of your content. Your projects and assets can live entirely on your local storage. Nothing is on the cloud unless you put it there. If needed, you can do all your work without an internet connection.
