Premiere Pro Productions is the preferred method for collaborating when using PowerScale OneFS storage. This new workflow in Premiere Pro has a primary Production, a folder, with related projects within it. The Production panel within Premiere Pro gives all users a global view of the projects contained within and which users have which projects open for read-only vs read/write. PowerScale OneFS has been fully qualified with this workflow on Windows, macOS, or a combination of both. Dell Technologies worked closely with Premiere Pro engineering during development of this feature to verify that it would work properly upon first release.
Nonetheless, care should be taken to avoid unexpected behavior when multiple users access the same media files simultaneously. This is especially true when the same media file is referenced in several different projects. Filesystem permissions and other forms of access control afforded by PowerScale storage should be implemented to prevent users from moving or deleting data that should be left alone. Planning is key here: logical folder structures on the PowerScale storage should be implemented. This is an area where third-party Media Asset Management software can be of use in automating some of this process of organizing media files on storage.For more information regarding collaborative video editing and project sharing, see the Long Form and Episodic Workflow Guide published by Adobe.
