Revert or discard changes in Team Projects

When using Team Projects, there is currently no way to revert or discard your own changes. If a user makes some mistakes, changes their mind, or doesn't want to "commit" unnecessary changes to the cloud, they don't have an option to reset to the last shared version.

 

This makes the feature effectively unusable, the user would have to push their changes regardless of whether they are desired or not. What if the changes are project-breaking? There is also no way to view the changes made and/or see a comparison to determine what changes were made.  (It would be great to see two timelines top/bottom and somehow highlight any sections of the timeline that changed)

 

At a minium, we need a "discard" or "ignore" changes because several times I have opened a team project, looked at a timeline, and accidentally "locked" the timeline.

the missing functionality is pretty simple. rather than just publish changes there should be an option to revert changes or discard them rather than fuss about with auto-saves. the window that appears summarizing changes should have a button with a double click confirm (to prevent accidents) to discard all changes.

I find restoring from Auto-Save really easy and you can choose exactly when to restore from. What is the missing functionality?

I tried this but it does not work for me. Im going to try to leave the team project and rejoin. this requires other members being online and is really weird to do in an official production setting. 

Really needs this as a feature.

I ran into the same problem and it drove me crazy. The solution I found is as follows.

First, close the team project once and open Preferences > Auto Save. In the Team Project section you will see where the auto save data is saved, open that folder and delete the (team project name).tpr file. After that, when you open the team project, you will get an error message like “Auto Save file is corrupt,” but eventually you will be able to open the latest published team project.

I don't know what experience you've had with all these options, of course. I'll just speak from my own experience.

 

I'm mostly a one person shop. I haven't used a stand-alone Premiere project in years. I switched to Productions for all my work several years ago.

 

Because it makes things so much simpler!

 

ALL my b-roll, audio libraries, specially built graphics and sequences, templates and all, are available for any project I do. It's so slick, I would never go back to stand-alone working.

 

Next, I do have a partner for some things in South Africa. I'm in Oregon. For our small projects, LucidLink is actually pretty affordable per month, up to a TB of online storage. And oh my gosh is that service amazing.

 

Mo, a total Mac person, calls me via Whatsapp that he's uploading a folder to our online filespace. I see that appear in seconds in my L-L virtual drive ... that both Windows and Premiere see as local storage.

 

In a few more seconds I start seeing media filenames. I go to Premiere, and import them, and start putting them on a sequence.

 

They aren't even done uploading from Cape Town to London, and IN OREGON ... I'm getting playback in Premiere.

 

Yea, kinda hooked ... on both L-L and Productions.

While I can appreciate the sentiment, "productions" is really designed for more of the enterprise customer - that can either afford a huge NAS server and have all editors onsite, or can afford the extremely high price of something like LucidLink to manage all their media.

The REAL answer is taht Adobe should fix its product.  We pay good money every single month and the fact that they just seem to ignore problems like this is really frustrating.

As another user, who used to actually test TP workflows with other users to help with the process ... they have put more effort into the Productions mode than TP over the last three years now.

 

As Productions is also designed for collaborative workflows, you might try that. You do have to have something like LucidLink to 'host' your group Production files. And probably media.

 

Having done a lot of work with LucidLink since their "proof of concept" days, that is an amazing, near magical service for collaborative work with users on different continents.

 

Yea, it would be nice if TP got some upgrades. But as a practical user here, Productions might work better for you.

Adobe - this was reported OVER A YEAR AGO and it's still not fixed.  This is CLEARLY a much needed feature - what gives?
