Sharing a Premiere project online

I'm working with a producer (from afar) that has Premiere Pro CC, as do I. We would like to be able to transfer bin/sequence information between us to update our projects accordingly. I've tried exporting a modified sequence via XML and on import (at his end) it brings in the SEQ but also brings in a folder with "new" reference clips. Since we will be doing this alot over 30 some odd sequences this will result in myriad extraneous reference clips that will bloat the project. Not to mention that matching back to a clip will take you to the "new" reference clip and not the original clip in it's bin.
In Avid, I could always just copy a bin (on the desktop) that had the pertinent info. In FCP 7 I can export just the sequence (and only the sequence) and on import to Premiere it shows up as just a sequence (no add'l reference files). Essentially, I'm finding out that Premiere's XML import/export is unpredictable at best.
Anyone have a clue for a workaround?
I have tried to export a bin from Premiere, open it in FCP 7 (where all the source clips show up), export it from FCP 7 and when importing it back into Premiere, it only will import files that are not already in the project. If a copy of that clip is any where else in Premiere, it will not import with the XML file. I'm stumped. I've compared XML files to make sure all the information is there (from the FCP7 export) but for some reason, Preimere parses the XML import and ignores any duplicate clips. Thoughts anyone?
Thanks

we're sometimes working on different parts of the project concurrently.
That is something you won't be able to do with PP. It's currently lacking in any kind of collaborative support.

In the mean time, you'll need to work one at a time, or on different sections and combine them only when finished.

Mac won't open Premiere Project CC files created from PC

Hi,
I am helping a friend edit a series of short videos. He is on a Mac with the latest OS using Premiere Pro CC. I am on a PC with Windows 7 Pro 64-bit also using Premiere Pro CC. I did the rough cut for the first video, copied the folder (all clips and Premiere project files) to a USB key and handed it to him. We thought that Premiere on the Mac would open, the project would link to the clips in the same folder and he could start the final cut. Instead, Premiere on the Mac says that the Premiere Pro files appear to be damanged and won't open.
We will test using Adobe Cloud next time we meet but it takes a while for the files/clips to upload and download so we're not sure that's going to be a good workaround.
Any suggestions on how my friend and I can work together, him on Mac, me on PC, sharing clips and Premiere project files? Any help would be appreciated as I need to continue with my portion of the work.
Many thanks,
France

Hi Jim,
If I copy the relevant files to, say, a thumb drive, will Premiere be able to relink all of the clips when everything is copied over to the Mac? What we'd like to do:
1. I download the clips from the camera to a folder on my PC
2. Import the clips into a Premiere project
3. Do the rough cut.
4. Save the project file and any additional files in the same directory as the clips.
5. Copy entire directory to thumb drive and give to my friend.
If he loads the folder onto his Mac (keeping the same directory structure), is Premiere going to relink the clips to the project? I thought that's what Project Manager assists with. Some of the discussion threads talked about using a "Relink" or "Link" command but I couldn't find it in Premiere CC's menus.
Thanks,
France

Project Online Time Zone Settings Issues

We just start use Project Online for our project management. We set the SharePoint Online > Site Settings >
Regional Settings to "(UTC +08:00) Kuala Lumpur, Singapore" and we are confirm that our host located either in Singapore or Hong Kong. However, we found that the date and time display in the check-out/in
project message, in the PDP-Workflow Status page, task submission, and the Administration Settings that has time references are different with our timezone.
We sent Service Request to Microsoft Support and we been advised to wait for the next version of Project Online. To avoid the confuse happen to our Project Team, we have to set the Regional Settings back to "(UTC -08:00) Pacific Time (US and
Canada)". However, this is 16 hours different
in our region!
We all know that time is very important in a project management and reporting. We have >30 on-going projects in the Project Online and some of them are estimate to take years to complete.
Therefore, anybody faced this issue and appreciate it if you could give us any advice or sharing any workaround here. Thank you in advance.

Hi Paul,
Is the timezone mismatch only present in the checkout/check-in notification displayed on the PDPs?
Thanks,
Roland
Hi Roland,
I noticed it happen in:-
"Entry Date" and "Completion Date" for PDP - WorkflowStageStatus in the All Workflow Stage list. (if you are using Enterprise Project)
Check-out/Check-in notification displayed in PDP - Schedule, and some columns' datetime value in the Schedule.
Synchronization date and time that displayed in PWA Settings - Manage User Sync Settings. (if you are using Project Permission Mode)
Task Submission date and time.

Project Online External User Access

Hello,
I'm testing the Project Online Preview and I would like to share the deliverables list on a project site with an external user (a client for example); so I configured the site collection with Project Web App to the "Allow
external users who accept sharing invitations and sign in as authenticated users" option. Then I tried to share the list with an external e-mail with a Microsoft account, but the invitation email was not sent.
External Sharing on SharePoint admin Center is configured on "Allow both external users who accept sharing invitations and anonymous guest links"
and my PWA site works in S"harePoint Permission Mode".
The same procedure on a classic SharePoint site collection work perfectly.
Any suggestions, please?
Matteo

Hello,
I got some of the external users to work. I am still trying to sort it out, but thought I will give you what I found.
The external user that I got work was another user in another domain, but the account was separate domain in a Office365. I have not been successful so far with an external account, that was not part of the Office
365.
Here is what I did to get it to work.
1) Login into an Office 365 account. Let's call it OFFICE999.
2) Then paste the link from my PWA site into browser.
3) Access was denied, but page provide me a link to Request Access
4) Then jump to my Office 365 account with PWA. Went to the PWA site and click on Settings icon and then site settings.
5) click on "Access request and Invitation"
6) under the Pending request, approved user and put the user as "Project Web APp Visitor"
7) Jump back to the Office999 and read my email, click on the link.
8) I got access denied again
9) When back to Office 365 PWA Admin account and added user to PWA users
10) went back to Office999 account, refreshed the screen and get access to PWA site,
11) BUT it says account doesn't have a LICENSE. So I am at that point trying to find out how to give an external user a license.
Cheers!

Project Online - Lite Users Are Unable to See projects in their view

Hi Everyone - I have recently added several new projects and added some new users. I have added these new users, assigned the lite license to each of them, and shared the PWA site with them. However, when they sign in, they do not see any new projects. The
Project Center has no projects listed, just empty lines. I have verified they are resources on some and owners on others to see if that made a difference, but that does not work. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks,
Peter

Hi Peter,
This means that you are using the SharePoint permission mode which is indeed the default permission mode with Project Online. Thus you have to share each project and site manually with the users.
See this blog:
http://www.prasannaadavi.com/2013/08/exploring-sharepoint-permissions-mode.html
That being said, I'll suggest to have a look at the
permission modes. The SP permission mode requires a lot of manual operation to give access to every single user on their projects. The PS permission mode is much more granular and requires less operations once
configured.
Hope this helps,

My premiere project file size just went from 190MB to 5.61GB... and now it won't open! Anyone know how this happened?

My premiere project file size just went from 190MB to 5.61GB... and now it won't open! Anyone know how this happened? Or how to prevent it from happening again? Thankfully I saved a backup project of the 190MB file size.

Any way to prevent dupes in Premiere Project file?

Due to working with both PluralEyes as well as multiple editors on the same project, I deal with importing a lot of XML and PRPROJ files into existing project files that I've worked with.
This, on a large scale, becomes untenable because every time I import another editor's work or a synced sequence, I get duplicates of all my media in the project. I'm trying to figure out if there any way to have Premiere check to see if the media is already imported, and reference that media in the imported sequence? If not, I will just keep getting larger and larger project files with multiple references to the same media, because both me and my other editors are working with the same media, but for different sequences.
As far as I can tell, when you import an XML, or even a sequence from another Premiere project, it creates new master clips for every clip used in the imported sequence. It does not recognize that you may already have a master clip that you're using in another sequence that is referring to the same media.
So if you want to keep both sequences in your project, you need to keep both master clips. If you delete a master clip from your bin, it will not stay in the sequence(s) that refer to it, it will get cut out, leaving a big steaming crater where it once was. Even if the sequence is not currently open. This is one of the things I loved about FCP7. You could delete every single one of your master clips and your sequence would be totally unaffected. You could even recreate the master clips by dragging them from your sequence to the bin.
I think if there really is no way to manage these duplicates, this is a HUGE problem for professionals who are working in environments with multiple editors. This isn't just a "well, learn how to deal with a new editing system" - this is actually a deal-breaker; and actually the only one that I see REALLY preventing Premiere from being the go-to choice for larger post houses. This problem becomes so big so fast that it makes true collaborative editing downright impossible. In my office we might have three people on a project, all editing and revising segments and passing them back and forth. On FCP7 this was easy as pie - we'd just cut and paste between project files and use basic versioning best practices. In Premiere, our project files quickly become nightmares and work is often inadvertently deleted or lost.
I would like to see:
- Smart media handling when importing sequences and projects. Premiere should look at the filenames and file location and attempt to relink any duplicate media. If it stumbles, it should ask for help like FCP.
- A media consolidation inspection feature. I'd love to see an option for inspecting your project for duplicate media references. When found, Premiere should automatically consolidate.
- Streamlined sequence exporting. You should be able to export a single sequence. I know there's some version of this in Project Manager, but we all know it should be easier than this!
Anyone have any ideas on how to fix this?

*******Enhancement / FMR*********
Brief title for your desired feature:
Link Master Clips to media on drives, not to sequences.
How would you like the feature to work?
"The selection you are deleting contains clip references in one or more sequences. If you continue these clip references will all be deleted. Do you want to continue?" In short, I never want to see this warning again. I *need* to be able to delete master clips from my project without having media deleted out of sequences.
Why is this feature important to you?
Editors need to stay organized from the beginning. Professional editors don’t edit birthday parties; we often have large quantities of different kinds of media, need to know where it is, need to access it quickly, and don’t need unnecessary things in the way.
Organization exists in one place: the project panel. The less that’s in the project panel, the smaller the project file size is, the faster the project file opens, closes and saves, but most importantly: the easier it is to find what you need, fast.
The reasons for working in multiple project files are endless. When you import a seq from another project, you also get the clips used in it. Often times these clips are already present in the project, which is why you now include a “don’t allow duplicates” checkbox in your import dialogue box (which btw doesn’t work when we’re working with Merged Clips painstakingly built in other project files).
While you might fix that Merged Clips bug, I still don’t know why you won’t just let me clean stuff up myself. Why are you trying to save me from myself? I know where my media is and Premiere knows where my media is: on my drive.
A professional editing program should not try to save people from themselves. It’s why I left FCP for you. You have a great, powerful suite of programs (that I’d pay a lot more for than I do now btw)… but I need to stay organized, not be unnecessarily prevented from doing so.
Please listen to us and make this fix.

Custom fields with the same name in Project Online

Today I discovered something interesting when creating custom fields in Project Online.
I usually create a certain set of custom fields that are useful to have on both the project and the task level. An example of these is Reportable, which I use to determine which tasks to roll up into reports and also which projects overall to report on.
So I created a project level custom field called Reportable. No problem.
I then created a custom field on the task level called Reportable. And the computer said no!
I then learned that although you could do this in Project Server 2013, you can't in Project Online. You can't have duplicate custom field names, even if they are of different types.
This has led me to use a naming standard, such as Reportable Task and Reportable Project. But I really don't like that as codes are for computers, not us humans. So I hope this changes in the future, but for now you just need to think about how you approach
the fields.
Good luck!

Hi Ryan,
I would follow Ben on this..
Just made a test on a Project 2013 instance on-premise and I cannot create a task ECF and a project ECF with the same name. The same test on a Online instance returns the same result: the ECF names must be unique whatever the entity is.
Waiting for Ben's confirmation.

Importing existing project to Project Online

Hello, my company recently purchased Project Online to add to our existing Office 365 environment.
From the Project Web App home page, I would like to use the Create or Import projects tile to add an existing .mpp project file that I have uploaded to my SkyDrive to Project Online, and manage this project from the Project Web app.
However, I cannot figure out how to do this or if it is even possible. The tile itself says "Create new or import from Sharepoint sites and project files.". To import an existing project you're then referred to this site: http://office.microsoft.com/en-us/project-server-help/more-ways-to-create-or-import-projects-HA102923810.aspx.
On that site the only listed ways of importing an existing project are to import a Sharepoint task list (not what I want) or by connecting your local Project Pro to Project Online and publishing the project.
Importing or uploading an existing project file directly to Project Online would seem to be a fundamental basic usage of Project Online. Do I really need to also purchase Project Professional in order to import existing project files to Project Online?
Thanks

Project Online cannot read mpp files, hence the reason for requiring Project Professional 2013 if you want to import these into Project Online - even if you only want to manage them via Project Web App from then on.
If you've not got Project 2013 Pro, you could cut and paste the existing task list from Project into a SharePoint list, and create the project from there.
The way forward will depend on the complexity of your schedules, remember that PWA does not have all of the capability of MS Project 2013

Project on demand/click to run not working in Project Online

Do I need to do anything special to allow the click to run functionality in Project Online to work? Or does it not work for Project Online?
We have a Project Online trial, but when the users who do not have Project Pro on their desktops, try to select Edit the project in Project Pro, they get an error saying that Project Pro needs to be installed first.
I would have expected click to run to download it.
I feel I may be missing something basic here.
Any advice please?
Ryan

Project Online in itself is not sufficient. You need Project Online with Project Pro for 0365, or another Office 0365 sku that includes Project Pro.
Assuming you have either of these, then the admin has to assign the Project Pro licence to the user (admin | users and groups)
Check out the following screen shot

Is there a way of finding out how many active hours you've worked on a Premiere project?

If not, it'd be a very cool addition for Adobe to implement... so you know exactly how many hours a project is taking (and how much to charge clients etc.) Obviously we're all prone to leaving Premiere on and wandering away, so I guess it would need to be able to differentiate between active and non-active time...

Is there a way of finding out how many active hours you've worked on a Premiere project?
There are two things a client get's billed for, my time, and my computer's time. If either one of us are working on a project, the client get's billed. Even if Adobe spent (wasted?) time on adding such a feature, they'd never be able to include any time I've spent working on the project with PP closed, so this feature would have very, very, VERY limited usefulness.
The method suggested by the images is still the best way.

Odata Connection Refresh Error while using excel web app - Project Online 2013

Hello All,
I am trying to work with odata reporting on project online 2013. I am not using MS Excel client, I open any of the available default report in excel online. when i try to refresh data connection from data tab. it's giving me an error
as show below
screen..
I have already enabled "PWA for excel web app refresh" feature.
Following the blog instructions and microsoft support, i have tried to grant permission to
AppId= 00000009-0000-0000-c000-000000000000
And In the Permission Request XML field, copy and paste the following XML:
<AppPermissionRequests>
    <AppPermissionRequest Scope = "http://sharepoint/projectserver/reporting"
Right="Read">
    </AppPermissionRequest>
    <AppPermissionRequest Scope = "http://sharepoint/content/tenant"
Right="FullControl">
    </AppPermissionRequest>
</AppPermissionRequests>
Now, According to the microsoft, it should show Microsoft.Azure.Azureservices as Title but as per below screen shot it shows Power BI Reporting and Analytics..
title.<o:p></o:p>
However, i click on ok button and check that the permission has been granted. i can see Microsoft Power BI reporting and analytics in the app permissions.
I again go to my BI reporting, open my report in excel online and refresh the data connection and nothing changed. It's giving me the same error.
I hope that i am able to narrate my problem. Please tell me, What i am missing here...
sandeep

Ok, why did manually add / update the permission XML? Do you get this error for new Excel based reports? Test creating a new one, example here:

Any beginners' guide to Project Online?

Hi all,
My company has recently subscribed to Office 365 Pro and Project Online was included in the package. From what I can tell, Project Online is a really powerful tool that can be useful in many situations. As someone who has zero experience or exposure
to Microsoft Project or Project Online, I find it extremely challenging to use it. Thus, I would appreciate your help in pointing me to the right direction in my attempt to learn how to use Project Online. Are there any books that I can refer to get started
(some sort of beginners' guide would be really useful)?
Thanks for your help.

Hello,
There are lots of really good books and blogs out there. Some links are below.

Insert Edit and Overwrite Edit Crashes This One Premiere Project

Hi All,
I'm working off of many premiere projects, and one crashes when I use the insert edit and override edit button. At first it was only if I used the keyboard command, but now it happens when using the mouse. I'm afraid the project file is corrupted.
Has anyone come across this issue? The workarounds I have tried include copying and pasting sequences to a new project, copying contents of a sequence into a new sequence, and importing an XML to a new project (which I thought would work, but I got an error message: Premiere experienced a generic message).
Any thoughts? I'm kind of stumped and don't want to lose a few days rebuilding the project file.

Thanks for the response, Mark. And giving the version makes sense...an obvious oversight on my part
Anyway, I was running 2014 and I actually ended up uninstalling and then reinstalling. Guessing that I was at 2014.0.0, but now I have 2014.0.1. Since doing that, I haven't experienced the crashes. And, yes, it was with merged clips.
HOWEVER, I still can't target audio only and insert/overwrite merged clips without jumping through a couple hoops. Works fine if I'm targeting video only with merged clips, or if I'm targeting audio only with any kind of clip (merged or non-merged). But audio only with merged? No deal.
In order to make that work, I have to go to the merged clip in the project window, select Modify, and then futz with the the audio channels. See screen shot below. Audio tracks 1 and 2 are from my DSLR. Tracks 3 and 4 are my "good" audio. Is this something that I should need to do for each merged clip to make them work?
