Is Premiere Pro good for teams?

Question

Hi thereI'm looking into new programs for my team to use for editing our corporate videos.We currently use Canva because it 's easy to use for video-editing beginners and has most of the functionality we need (we're not producing hollywood epics!). We come to issues with it when we want to make videos that use large files and this can significantly slow down productivity & lead to frustrations.If we shifted to Premiere Pro, is there still a way ensure we can co-edit work, see a shared library and set up brand templates and elements?Thanks in advance for your help!Zoe

Premiere has two main collaborative models, Productions and Teams.

Productions needs to run really with either major local network (for co-located groups) or an online service like LucidLink (for spread out groups) "hosting" the Production folder itself. For spread out work, LucidLink's "virtual drive" setup is really amazing, as you can have everything out in your cloud and work as if it's all local. I've done that for several years now.

Teams is different, the Team Project itself is hosted by Adobe, on their servers. But the media/assets involved either have to be all local or cloud stored on something like LucidLink. I've worked this also, where the Team "leader" had the original files, everyone else was dropboxed proxies with identical names. The Leader had to be the one doing any real export work also.

Teams needs identical folder structures used by all users, if storing locally.

But both methods can work. Productions and Teams. Productions does use an internal folder structure to organize groups of project files within, so it's a bit of a learning process at first. But then, there's a few things to learn so you don't mess up a TP also.

But not onerous learning. Just some details to get down and the group informed about.
