Project collaboration between 2 editors
Hi,
I’m a newbie to PP, have looked around for this information with limited success. There’s basically 2 editors in 2 different Geo locations that will be working on a common project, bouncing each other’s sequence back and forth. As a starter, they each have the same footage, and editor A who’s started the project sends a copy of the project file to the other, which contains the first version of the sequence.
Going forward, ideally, editor B increments the sequence number by one and does his thing; he would then be able to export an XML back to editor A to do his part and etc.
Am I not getting something obvious, or is PP forcibly not letting us exporting a metadata-only file (à la XML) to enable round tripping within PP? The only options are FCP-XML and EDLs…
From what I’ve read, the official answer seems to be tied to Adobe Anywhere (AA). And if I further got this right, AA is not part of the Cloud package, but you need the cloud apps (such as PP) in order to use it…
Any insight would be greatly appreciated.
TIA,
Alain Durocher

Why all the XMLing? If you both are on the same software version of Premiere, have access to the same duplicated hard drives with the exact same media paths, why not swap Premiere Project files through email, drop box, Hightail etc. Yes your render files and media cache files might not hook up, but the media sure can. You need to also make sure you have all the same plug-ins or swapping the projects will generate errors. You don’t necesarily need Adobe Anywhere unless you have access to large cash flow to pay for the servers and big pipe to handle the traffic. Yes you can edit in Proxy mode, but currently still a hefty price tag to get into Adobe Anywhere.

Andy – thanks for the reply.
XML: because every editor works differently and organizes bins & projects to his/her liking. As they continue to work in parallel, by sending the project file altogether, one’s work will be overwritten by the other?
Thanks for the insight on Anywhere…
