Cannot collaborate with team on a production - files are all offline

Report · Dec 27, 2024

I am running Windows 11 enterprise and useing adobe premiere pro 2025. My teammate has created a production with a few projects in it and saved in on a shared OneDrive. When I open this production, all of the files are offline. I have updated all of my settings and followed the directions documented here,

Premiere Productions Quick Start Guide : Frame One

but I cannot get these files mapped correctly.

OneDrive is problematic as anything other than a 'transport service' for video editing. So using it to move files to each computer, then moving them out of any folder that OneDrive is connected to can work solidly. But not too well normally with online=access workflows.

LucidLink works very well, both for transport and for online working storage. My partner is in Cape Town, I'm in western Oregon, and our shared projects/production and media "live" on Amazon S3 servers in London.

We can both work with the files on the "virtual drive" that L-L sets up, and both his Mac and my PCs think the files are local ... and Premiere uses them as if they were. Near to magical.

We tried OneDrive and it wasn't ... satisfactory.
