Problems with using Adobe Premiere Pro CC Team Projects with my students

Hi,

I am trying to streamline how I work to work with my students video project so I can share without sharing physical files. 

 

I teach video editing and production for the military. My students use the entire Adobe suite. Here is what I am trying to do. 

My students are creating 3 different video products. They use their scratch drive to edit, because they are on Governement computer and our hard drive space gets clogged due top having aproximately 450 students putting large video files and images on their drives. In the past we have had them package their entire Premiere Porject, but of course that takes a lot of time and hard drive space. 

 

I tried to use Team Projects to have the access to their project so I can grade their editing skills and their file management. 

 

It worked for a few students, but the rest of the class had their projects show up as offline.  I followed the directions that Adobe placed online, and it only worked for 3 out of 16 students.

 

Here is what I had them do|:

 

Once they finish their entire 60 second video, I had them first save their project. Then I had them go to Edit/Team Project/Convert to Team Project.

Here is where I am not sure what to do next. 

I think I had some go to the ingest settings and click enable. Do I have to do this for EACH student to ensure that all of their project files are put on the Creative Cloud as primary destination?

 

They each added my email to the invite to collaborate, but I may have forgotten to have them enable the ingest box.  I got each of their invites, but some showed their clips and some students did not show clips. 

 

Did I miss a step?

 

I want to make sure I can get it to work for EACH student. If I have the exact steps and make it work that would be great. I thought I would try the forum first before calling. 

 

[Moderator note: moved to Team Projects forum for best response to the questions asked.]

Hi there.  I am sorry that you are having trouble with some of your students.  If you are not telling your students to use the ingest feature, the location of the media files will be different from your point of view.  One thing that you could do to see where team projects things the media is is by going into the Edit // Team Projects // Media Management.  By looking at the directory structure you can determine where team projects thinks it is.  If you would like some help with this.  Post a screen shot of the media managemetn dialog and I can try to help you further. 

 

Off the top of my head this could be a problem with the following -

1) They didnt post the media to CC Files (Ingest Settings)

2) You did not get the invite to their media.

3) Something went wrong with the file thransfer.

 

Let me know what you find out --

May not be possible in your environment or not what you want to hear but I would recommend each student having their own portable drive and have everything edited/saved to that drive.

It isn't feasible to have an external drive for each student. They are partitioned a scratch drive, which is great for them, but not for the instructors that need to see their product. Team Project worked for some of my class, but not all. I am not sure what I did wrong, other than the ingest settings.
