Teamwork via premiere pro - rushs and projects locations

[Olivier26337793s82f]

Hi, we are a small team of videographers and we look for a efficient way to use premiere vs rushs vs projects. We work on each other projects and we are in different locations. Actually we use copies of the rushes via external drives, and copies of premiere projects. It takes a lot of time to manage it because we have to re-link all de rush inside the projects when we share works. The main issue is that we work on heavy datas (60 to 80tb)... I think it is unthinkable to use clouds for that weigh.

Is somebody have a more efficient way to work?

LucidLink is the main process, using typically Amazon S3 or other servers. It sets up 'virtual drives' on every computer, and the machine and the programs don't even know the media is out 'there'. Takes a minimum of 250Mpbs (with low latency) for UHD/3840x2160 media for decent playback.

My partner is all Mac, and is in Cape Town SA. We're all PC, in Oregon. He calls, says he's added a folder of media or Ae comp exports from Cape Town to his virtual drive LucidLink created on his machine. Within seconds, I'm seeing the folder in my virtual drive ... as it's uploading the files to the London S3 server our setup uses.

Within a few more seconds, I see files in the folder ... and I can go right to Premiere, Import them, and drop onto a sequence. Get playback ... and the folder isn't done uploading to London yet!

It's heavily used around the world for this type of work. And you should also be using a Premiere Production for this, rather than stand-alone projects. It's awesome for multi-user collaboration on large projects.
