Compatibility with Mac and Windows version of Adobe Premiere ?

[Guest]

Hello,

Is it possible to work on a same file with Adobe Premiere on a Windows computer and on MAC ?

(For example, make modifications on the storyboard on the Windows computer then get the file updated on MAC and make others upadates on MAC, etc ?)

Regards.

For any kind of collaboration you'll want to check out either Adobe Anywhere or Team Projects, both of which are paid services.

Hi,

Thanks for your answer.

I think that adobe anywhere or team projects are used to share files.

This will not be a problem to share files.

In fact I wanted to know if it is possible to update a file/storyboard with Adobe Premiere on a Windows computer and then keep working on the file/storyboard with the latest modifications on MAC with Adobe Premiere (after having copied the file on the MAC) or will there be a compatibility problem (impossible to open/work the file/storyboard on MAC if it has been updated on a Windows PC) ?

I hope that I explained better and as I don't use Adobe Premiere perhaps that my question is stupid.

Regards.

The only problem I have come across involved HDV files captured on Mac will not play on Windows and vice versa.

Assuming you a using video files using a codec common to both Mac and windows you may be OK. However, as the paths to all your files in a project will use / on windows and \ on Mac you may have to manually locate the files each time you swap over. And it may have to re-conform all the audio files as a result.

Try it and find out.

That's certainly a part of it.  But they also better collaboration than you'll get without them.

In other words, without using those service, I would recommend any given project be done by one person on one machine using only internal hard drives.

The Premiere Pro project files are cross platform.  As long as you're using source footage that's also cross platform, you should be fine.

Or course, you need to be mindful of everything that working on more than one workstation involves.

Which problems those paid services are designed to overcome.
