Working remotely: sending bins

In PP you both need a similar data structure, folders, etc, with the media all in there. Then you just need to send the project file... Any added files over time would need to be sent to the other user also. You do the file stuff in Windows.

I'm not experienced in Avid, so I can't comment on the comparison.

To send essentially 'bins' sorted from Premiere, you'd need to say duplicate the project and include that file and the media in whatever means you send it to the other editor. They copy the project file and media to their computer, open and relink the media files.

There's also the Team Projects workflow in Premiere as I mentioned in the other post.

In Premiere, things like bins are not physical structures, they're just metadata in the project file.

The media is all accessed on-disc wherever you parked it intially, and things like bins and sequences are simply created from metadata. So there isn't a 'physical' thing to link to or send.

Check out Team Projects, which is free for all CC subscribers until at least mid-August. That might be extended. I've done some projects with another editor/sound/fx guy from South Africa ... I'm in Oregon, USA. Worked great.

I don't think using xml or edl stuff is really necassary in most cases, with reference movies for conforming stuff... usually just attaching bins to an email works great for me.

Sometimes there's a lot of source material that has to be shared too, but mostly it's just simple bin sharing.
