My Published Sequences do not show to the rest of the team.

[andrel8266015]

After publishing a sequence Premiere enters into the Resolve Conflicts which then goes into hundreds of sluggish Update Items mode (showing more than 300 items).

Since it takes so much long time, I always end up cancelling the items updates to be able to go back to work which is what should be causing the sync issues.

Is there any workaround this issue (without having to cope with hours of items updates?)

Does it make a difference when you close AfterEffects before trying to Publish your changes and resolving the conflicts in Premiere?

Hey Udo, thank you for your reply. I was working with After Effects closed (however I may check with the team if they have it opened if it may also cause the issue).

The issue you are encountering stems from a synchronization failure within Adobe Premiere Pro’s Team Projects environment. When you cancel the sluggish "Update Items" process after a Resolve Conflicts prompt, the system fails to finalize the synchronization with the Creative Cloud server, resulting in your published sequence remaining invisible to your collaborators.

The Root Cause of Synchronization Delays

The problem is fundamentally caused by an excessive synchronization load and subsequent data corruption due to interruptions:

Project Bloat: The synchronization process is slowed down by managing complex, multi-layered sequences, as well as an accumulation of old or backup sequences within the project. The volume of metadata that the system attempts to sync becomes overwhelming.

Interrupted State: Cancelling the "Update Items" process leaves the local project in an unsynchronized state. In subsequent attempts, the system tries to catch up on all pending changes—both yours and your team’s—leading to an ever-growing count of "Update Items" and prolonged sync times.

Workarounds to Bypass Long Update Times

To manage your workload and avoid waiting hours for the sync to complete, you can implement the following strategies:

1. The Optimal Strategy: Utilize Linked Team Projects

For large and complex projects, Adobe recommends splitting the project to reduce the synchronization overhead.

Goal: To keep the amount of active data that needs to be synchronized daily as small as possible.

Action: Separate your large Team Project into smaller, more manageable units using Linked Team Projects. Move all old sequences, unused backups, and finished timelines into a separate linked project. Your main project should only contain the media and the sequences currently in active editing. This drastically minimizes the metadata volume processed during each sync.

2. Immediate Fix: Duplicate the Sequence

If a specific sequence is not appearing for collaborators, a quick workaround is to force a new sync for that item.

Goal: To push a clean version of the sequence through the synchronization process.

Action: Create a duplicate of the final sequence you wish to publish. Attempt to publish the duplicate instead of the original. This action can sometimes resolve underlying conflicts associated with the original file, making the copy immediately visible to the team.

3. Last Resort: Manually Reset the Local Sync Database

If sync failures are chronic, you may need to force a clean reset of the local synchronization data.

Goal: To resolve potential corruption in the local sync database, which causes the program to get stuck.

Action: Completely close Premiere Pro. Navigate to your local Team Projects folder (e.g., .../Adobe/Common/Team Projects Local Hub/...). Locate the project folder ending in .tp2 and, inside it, delete the file named sync.sqlite3. When you restart Premiere Pro and open the Team Project, the program will be forced to download a completely fresh copy of the project state from the Creative Cloud, effectively clearing the backlog.

Thank you so very much for all possible workarounds! And yes, this is a huge multi-layered sequence project.

I'll get down to all the strategies you mentioned throughout the day to see how things unfold.

Thank you so much once again.
