- Hi, my name is Valentina Vee,
I'm an independent filmmaker here in Los Angeles.
- And I'm Raibar Chener and I work at LumaForge.
- Today we're going to be talking about Premiere Pro's
shared project work flow using the LumaForge Jellyfish.
Shared projects is a way that you and your collaborators
can all edit the same project using the same shared storage.
You wanna make sure that you have all the right settings
for a shared project so we are gonna go into the
Premiere Pro preferences under Shared Projects
and make sure that "Enable project locking" is selected
and then give ourselves usernames.
- I will go Raibar.
- [Valentina] And I will go Vee.
- Perfect.
We'll start by diving into creating a project from scratch
and showing you guys how shared projects are set up.
We will go into Premiere and create a new project.
Title this, my working project,
which will be my name, working.
And we will save this in our shared Jellyfish storage area.
There you go, and okay, once we have that project,
we can create a new shared project.
Once that is done, we will name it,
and what should we name this project?
- Luma shared.
Once we have the shared project set up,
we will import some footage.
- So Raibar's been working for a bit,
he's created a buncha projects for me,
a buncha shared projects, as dailies,
and I can import them all into my project.
One piece of advice that I would have
if you are working with shared projects and master projects
is to drag your shared projects into your master project
to keep it all labeled and straight.
So right now, I don't have any shared projects
because I didn't drag them in.
So I am going to undock this panel and then go over to
the dailies project and drag all of those shared projects
under dailies into my working project.
- When you're working on a shared project,
you wanna be able to know who
has control of which project bin.
In your project, right next to Name,
right click and hit Metadata Display
and you're gonna type in project, or project sharing,
and the Project Locked box will show,
you can mark that and hit OK.
What this does is it shows who has control of that folder.
So right here, Classroom is being controlled by Vee.
- And as you can see, on my computer currently,
if I go into this shared project for Classroom,
and I'll undock the panel so that you can see it
a little better, on the bottom left corner,
I have the little lock and it is unlocked for me,
it is green, which means that I am working on it.
He can see it but it's read only,
he can't set in and out points,
he can't change anything in the project, organization-wise
or within any sequence that's in the project, only I can.
So if I've been working on the Classroom project for awhile,
maybe I'll make some edits, and I'm done with that,
I will lock it, and I will save it.
And after I've locked and saved it,
the bottom left lock turns red for me,
which means that I can no longer edit it.
And for you.
- So I'm gonna go into Classroom
and right at the top, I have a little indicator
which is like a little caution mark,
so when I hit the unlock button, it gives me this,
"The project has been modified since it was last loaded.
"Do you wish to reload it?" and I would like to say yes
because I wanna see the changes that Vee has made.
So once it's reloaded, on the bottom corner here,
I have the unlocked green, project is writeable.
So now I can get to work on this while
Vee goes and does somethin' else.
- So he's working on Classroom,
I could be working on the sequence for Beach.
So if I go into the sequence for Beach
and say I set a marker and I edit it and I call it
first half and make it four seconds long and make it purple.
So I'm done with this sequence and I'm going to
click on the lock again and it's asking me,
"Yes, do you wanna save it?", yes I do.
That lock turns red for me.
If I go into sequences for the Classroom project,
if you have locked it, I should be able to
click on More Options next to the caution sign
and I should be able to refresh my project
with all of the changes that you've made.
You should be able to refresh mine.
- Perfect, gonna open up Beach and
in here, I see that Vee has put in a marker.
That's the cool thing about this is,
somebody can put a marker in, Vee could save her project in
and then I can go back in and move her markers around
or I might leave it or might be a note from my editor
saying, "Hey, can you go find
"this split from that bin" or whatnot, so.
I'm gonna just leave it there.
- So here inside of my working project,
I've dragged all the shared projects from the dailies
and I think it's important to mention
that if I start doing things within my working project,
like creating new bins, for example.
I'll call this one graphics.
And this is a regular bin whereas
a shared project bin has a little arrow on it.
If I lock this and I save this, then Raibar,
he won't be able to see my graphics folder
in his working folder because it's not
a shared project folder, it's just a regular folder.
- So the benefits of shared projects in Premiere
is really the fact that as an AE, I can go in and
sync dailies, create markers, organize the project,
and then have my editor, Vee, get on and not have to
deal with any of that stuff and can be like,
"Hey, I'm ready to go."
- And for editors or teams of multiple editors,
you can divide and conquer, you can work on one scene
while somebody else works on another scene.
Also, if you have a plug in that another person
doesn't have on their machine, like Pluralize,
he can sync all the sound on Pluralize and it'll
all be synced on my machine, I won't even
ever need to buy the plug in.
Thank you so much for watching,
hope you enjoy this brief intro on
shared projects in Premiere Pro.
