Create Team Projects

You can create a collaborative project in one of three ways:

• Directly from the start screen of After Effects and Premiere Pro.

• From within the application, select File > New > Team Project.

• Select Edit > Team Project > Convert Project to Team Project to convert an existing Premiere Pro project to Team Projects.
  

Enter a name (required) and a description (optional). You can invite collaborators when you create the project or invite them later.

To invite collaborators now, select Edit. In the Edit Collaborators dialog, enter the name or email address of the users with whom you want to collaborate.

If you previously invited users to collaborate, a drop-down list would suggest a list of the most recently invited users. Also, as you type, the dialog suggests matching search results.

You can also invite groups in your Active Directory to collaborate on your project. Any updates to the invited group, such as team members added or deleted, will not reflect, and you will need to send another invite to update the invite list.

You can remove the selection by selecting the X in the name tag. You can also type an email address.

Suggestions are provided based on collaborators you have invited before or from your organizational address book if they are part of an enterprise syncing their Active Directory with the Adobe Admin console.

When you have added all your collaborators, select Invite.

Your collaborators receive an invitation to collaborate in the Creative Cloud Desktop app and in Premiere Pro or After Effects.

To convert a Premiere Pro project to Team Projects, open the project and select Edit > Team Project > Convert Project to Team Project.

Enter a name for your Team Projects, give a description, and start adding the collaborators.

Select OK to complete, and the collaborators will get a notification in their Creative Cloud Desktop app. The invite will also reflect in the Manage Team Projects dialog under the Invites tab. 

Select File > Open Team Project. In the Manage Team Projects dialog, projects are categorized under three tabs:

• Team Projects: Displays the list of the available Team Projects.
• Archive: Displays the list of archived Team Projects.
• Invites: Displays the list of Team Projects that you have received invites for collaboration.

Select from the list of Team Projects, and select Open.

If you have a long list of projects, you can type the name of the specific project in the search box to search and filter Team Projects.

The project components start loading in the background, and After Effects displays the loading status. You can start to work on them while the remaining components load in the background.
