Learn about Sequence Locking in Team Projects for conflict-free editing and collaboration in Premiere Pro using visual clues, versioning, and auto-save features.
On this page:
Use the Sequence Locking feature in Team Projects to add media, create sequences, and perform edit operations (trim, move a clip, delete a clip, and more.) in a locked environment to which only you have access. While you edit operations on the locked sequence, your collaborators will have view-only access to the timeline.
Sequence Locking also offers visual indicators in the timeline, sequence tab, and Projects panel to other collaborators indicating who is editing the sequence, publish status, and notes. Other collaborators can access the sequence and perform edit operations only after you publish your edits.
Create a Team Project and invite collaborators. See:
Add media and start working on a sequence to enable Sequence Locking.
Collaborators see your edits only once you publish. While you edit, the sequence is locked and view-only for your collaborators to avoid conflicts.
Visual clues indicate the status of the sequence for you and other collaborators.
Publish changes and add a note to unlock the sequence.
Another collaborator starts working on the sequence and Sequence Locking is initiated.
When you are editing a sequence, other collaborators can play / seek / scrub through the sequence, and even copy clips from that sequence.
When you publish an edited sequence with changes, it releases the project from the lock and makes it available to other team members to update, view changes, and start working on it. While publishing, you can also add a comment for the collaborators.
-
When you are editing the sequence, the Project panel will indicate editing in progress, and the Publish button is active.
-
Once done editing, select Publish.
-
You can add any comments to let the other collaborators know about your changes.
-
Select Publish to complete the publishing process.
Saving your project does not publish it to your collaborators. To share your changes, you must select the Publish button.
Active collaborator
If you are an active collaborator and currently editing a sequence, your sequence will be locked so that only you can edit and make changes.
Publish Status: You will see the publish status in both the Project panel.
Publish status in the Timeline panel like Update.
The Show Asset Status icon shows a white pen indicating that it's being edited.
Sync Status: Team Projects include an Interrupted Connection mode feature that allows you to continue working even if your Internet connection is temporarily interrupted. During such interruptions, you cannot publish your changes or get the latest updates from other collaborators, but you can continue to work with your edits being saved locally. See Use interrupted connection mode.
Other collaborators
If you are an active collaborator editing a sequence, the rest of the members of the team project will have view-only access and get visual clues like:
Update Status: If another active collaborator is editing the sequence in the team project, you will be locked from making any changes in the sequence. You will also see multiple visual clues and sequence status notifications in both the Project and Timeline panels.
View-only status in the Timeline and Project panels with the name of the active collaborator.
Update available notification indicating that the collaborator has published the sequence with changes.
The Show Asset Status icon shows a downward white arrow.
With Interrupted Connection mode you can continue working if your internet connection is temporarily interrupted. During such interruptions, you cannot publish your changes or get the latest updates from other collaborators, but you can continue to work with your edits being saved locally.
Sync status with green check icon indicates connected status with all local changes getting synced remotely.
Sync status with a yellow warning triangle icon when the internet connection is interrupted.
When the Internet connection is interrupted, and collaboration features are unavailable:
- The Publish and Update buttons are disabled.
- The sync status icon changes to a yellow warning triangle.
This icon is located in the lower-left corner of the Premiere Pro interface. Mouse over the icon to view the status of the connection mode and the time of the last sync before your connection was interrupted.
Working on a team project for an extended period when disconnected from the Internet is not recommended. The Interrupted Connection mode feature is meant to provide safety and security if there are intermittent Internet interruptions only.
