Teaching at University and using Team Projects was a horrible idea...

[MAYA20923495p1j2]

Just a note to all you faculty out there! I thought that using Team Projects for a film edit would simplify the workflow for a class of college students. It did not. We had so  many issues with projects not loading, not publishing, not saving, not opening.... it was a mess. Here's a quote from one of the students: 

" I hate adobe teams with a fiery passion and I don't know that I will ever trust It again."

Sums it up. We were working on both Macs and PCs, Adobe Premiere 24.3 with a NAS storage on a narrative film. Never again!

Teams work is actually pretty slick, but ... everyone involved in the project needs to understand a few things about working in the Team projects manner first.

I can totally understand how this would blow up big time otherwise! Total ... mayhem ... yowza.

However, if you got some experience with Teams first, then taught the Team Projects behaviors to the students, you would actually increase their "hirability" for after college.

Thanks, but I've been working with Teams for years, problem is, it doesn't seem to be working. The bugs in Premiere have turned off an entire generation of editors. Welcome to the new generation of Non-Adobe editors!

Did you try Productions mode? That's also designed for collaboration, and is what most of the big project productions use these days. I've even gone to it in my one-person shop, as that way all my b-roll, sound library, template project and such are available for any project for any client with duplicated assets or project bloat.
