FIX Team Projects saving

Please, a great feature would be Team Projects actually working, instead of preventing from saving locally and online. It really is the most wanted feature I think: we’ve been provided time-wasting workarounds already, but then why use this feature if we can’t even be sure to be able to even save as a normal offline project. In the last month publishing and\or locally save a team project failed 85% of the time, for me and my team, let alone all the copies of the projects we manually have to save around.
Please FIX it, or at least let we know where is the problem: is our network? our workstation? something else? I want to keep using and paying for Premiere Pro (as I did for years), but half of my coworkers push me towards Resolve Studio and its Cloud as is consistently more reliable and cheaper. Let us know what to do.

    It works for many, but not for some ... even within the same team. That’s frustrating for sure!

     

    But find the Team Projects forum in these Adobe forums, and post over there as staffers do pop in quickly for TP issues on that forum.

    Everyone's mileage always varies ...

    Thanks fo your reply ​@R Neil Haugen, I don’t want to waste your time:
    I’m sure it works for many, and I posted here because the many requests of help in the forum end up in workarounds, I think most of us “few unfortunate” are just resigned and keep going with the workarounds,  or stopped using Team Projects. Before writing, I read literally all the comments, and more than once: sometimes there is an intervention from the staffers, asking questions, and then never answer back after the information is provided, or the conversation go on in private emails, eg: https://community.adobe.com/questions-79/team-projects-are-literally-quietly-breaking-saving-1498363
    I know TP are supposed to just work, but they don’t, for some reason.
    You know what it means when after an hour or so of editing the cloud icon on top suddenly become gray, with “saving in progress…” , and you can’t save locally nor online, and if you realize that in time you have to stop what your doing and make a safe copy, check it, close, open reimport, clean up? And this happens every day, multiple times? Not a nice workflow.

    That’s why I thought the ability to address TP issues, or at least autosave properly offline, would be a nice feature.

    So you say I should copy all this in the help forum and this will fix the problem?
    I’ll give it a try.
    Thanks again for the attention and sorry for the long explanation

    Well ... this new forum sucks seriously. I can only occasionally actually post links and get them to appear in a post, and not today. I was going to pass on the links to their Productions mode and documentation, which may work far better for you than TP.

     

    My partner in Cape Town and I in Oregon worked years ago in TP, but then were early testers of the Production mode ... and left TP for Productions. Which we used on all joint projects. I even use it for all my in-house projects, as all my sound libraries, b-roll, graphic assets, and pre-built sequences are available for any project for any client or purpose. 

     

    I only use the old stand-alone project model for testing things.

     

    And LucidLink is the only file service to use. Mo and I are half the planet apart. He starts uploading simply by drag/dropping on his Mac to the LucidLink virtual drive in his Mac. The computer and apps see that as a local drive, but it’s really the S3 servers in London.

     

    WHILE he’s uploading, I see the files appear in my LucidLink virtual drive on my Pc, start importing to Premiere and dropping on sequences. It hasn’t completed uploading from Cape Town to London, but I’m already getting playback in Premiere in Oregon!

     

    A very Harry Potter type magical experience but wow ... you can “pin” a file to local storage if you’re not getting playback, but with both of us above 500Mpbs in download and upload, we’ve never needed to. Mo’s an Ae whiz so his stuff is pretty ‘heavy’ file-wise, but ... plays from London on my Pc without a hitch. As do my 4kDCI files on his Mac in Cape Town.

     

    I used to pass along a series of links so you could just click but you’re gonna have to look up the Adobe online files listed below. Their Long Form doc is the best many-page bit on best practices for really anyone working in Premiere Adobe has ever put out ... but then, Jarle was the main writer for it of course.

     

    -   Premiere Pro Productions Introduction
    -    Using Productions in Premiere Pro
    -    Adobe Long-form and Episodic Best Practices Guide 

    -     And Jarle’s blog expansion of the pdf Multicam section: Premiere Pro Multicam, on  his PremierePro.net website.
