To use project sharing on your ELEMENTS system, simply create a new Premiere project on a workspace of your choosing. In contrast, Shared Projects can be used locally on your shared storage. Team Projects are only available to certain users (Creative Cloud for enterprise (CCE) and Creative Cloud for teams (CCT) customers) and are stored in a cloud. Because of these differences in the way of sharing, your project has to be structured in a different manner to allow for an optimal collaboration environment.Īdobe Shared Projects should not be confused with Team Projects though. Thankfully Premiere Pro now allows multiple projects to be open at the same time. However, unlike Media Composer’s bin sharing where multiple users have concurrent write access for the project but with only one user that can edit any specific bin at a time, Premiere Pro’s project sharing grants write access to only one user at a time for every single project. Since the release of the Adobe Creative Cloud 2018, Premiere Pro users have been given the possibility to use project sharing. This ability for multiple users to collaborate on the same project has for a long time been one of the main reasons to choose Avid Media Composer over Adobe Premiere Pro – but this may start to change soon.

But the main advantage of Media Composer lies in its project sharing capabilities. To get around this problem and be able to open projects created in a newer Premiere Pro version, ELEMENTS has created this awesome, free project file Downgrader.Īvid Media Composer on the other hand offers well-defined media management rules, perfectly suited for large and long running projects.

One disadvantage to keep in mind when working in teams is that Premiere Pro updates break project compatibility. Premiere is cheaper, more intuitive to use and learn compared to Media Composer and does not require too much technical knowledge or planning ahead. Having had quite extensive experience in both small and large postproduction environments, I would tend to recommend Premiere Pro for smaller, ideally individually produced projects in which mixed materials will probably be used. Both platforms offer many unique benefits and so the answer to this question has therefore more to do with what one plans on doing. What is the better option for my upcoming project, Media Composer or Premiere Pro? This is a question that many of us had to ask ourselves at some point.
