Team project set up

[dwayneb30694961]

So I just had the worst phone experience with an Adobe support person, I almost called him a specialist but no.  But I digress.....

I have been away from Adobe a few years, and I have never actually used teams.  From the videos I watched, all I needed to do was start a team project and we all can work.  Wait...though I wanted to transfer my current project to a team project. Almost out of time I started a support chat season.  The other guy showed me how to convert to a team project, I said great so I can access the project from my laptop, we are golden.  So I asked, everything is available, just open the team project and I'll have access to everything else.  His answer yes. Apparently not, as I can see where the edit marks are, the clip shadows but no media.  To day I call and talk to a guy I think is in India who basically is telling me again how to make a team project, no I said how do I get the data files avaible to other members.  He says when you are done, export the project to an external drive HDD and connect to your other converter.  I'm so pissed..

I want to get all the data files from one location and price it on my Adobe cloud folder so both computers can access all the files so ii don't have to mail a copy of my project back and forth between collaborators away.  Does anyone have a good walkthrough, tutorial?

The Adobe tech says, I see you can't understand me and starts with " I..t....s..e..e..Ms you... Can't.... Understand.. Me, I... Will.... Talk slower....  I stopped him there and said all I want to know is how I export all the files from my projects to Adobe cloud so all computers have access to the range files.

Someone please help, the tech guys were horrible.

Lots of help links at Team Projects

I'm sorry that you had such a poor experience with support. In order to work with a Team Project, all of your team members must have access to the same media. There are many ways to accomplish this - you can use shared network storage, distribute hard drives with copies of the media, or use a file-sharing service such as Creative Cloud Files or Dropbox. You can also use proxies if the clients have bandwidth or storage limitations, and render the final output on a system that has access to the original media.

The Team Projects service does not upload or distribute project media. Instead, it provides versioning, cloud backup, and collaboration for your edits (i.e. the information that would otherwise be stored in a standalong .prproj or .aep file).

How does one share media video files on Adobe Cloud - only seems to accept adobe graphic files...

[Udo_Pawlik]

Hi, this is a question better suited for the 'Creative Cloud Services' community.
But here are a few links that should help you getting started with sharing video files.

Sync your files using cloud storage 

Share a file or folder publicly 

Collaborate on Creative Cloud Libraries and folders

Best,

Udo

Thanks. Looks like using the sync folder was the solution.

Their system isn't really setup well for sharing video media for projects. Especially as a storage system, but not even really that good at simply uploading so the other parties can download to their systems.

So having some external process for file moving/managment is really useful. My partner and I work through LucidLink's system. He's in Cape Town, I'm in Oregon, and our shared files 'live' on an Amazon S3 server in London. The media is shown on our own computers as simply another drive, as if it were a local drive.

LL has an amazing process of the way they parcel out file data so an app like an NLE can start using the stream of the file as a source. He can move files to his LL folder on his Mac from Cape Town, and within a few seconds I'll see the folder appear in my file management system on my PC.

A few seconds later the first files will start appearing in that folder on my system, and I can actually then use them within Premiere as if they are 'local' media. Our TP's have most of the media stored online like that, though a few really massive 'heavy' files we have downloaded to our own machines for better playback/processing.

But something like that is very useful.

Thanks for the recommendation. Appreciate you taking the time.
