Adobe Premiere Pro’s recently added Productions makes Premiere the pro software that AVID is

I have already made a couple of posts about Productions, but had to write again with a quick update.

I am currently cutting a 28 minute and 30 second full length infomercial. And it is a legacy project from 2017, with many versions, and tons of footage. When I first got the project it took over 10 minutes to open and was almost unresponsive when trying to use it.

I decided to see how Productions would handle it.

Productions offers you tools for organizing multi-project workflows, sharing assets between projects, and keeping everything streamlined and efficient, whether you’re working on your own or collaborating with a team.

From the Adobe Help Manual for Premiere Pro.

Now I am working from home and not sharing projects, but basically am using productions like AVID uses Bins. So breaking up the project into the categories it was already broken up into, that means Sequences, Footage, Graphics, Audio, Stills, ETC. So each what would have been a folder in a premiere project is it’s own project.

And premiere can access the media from these projects as if they were open within sequences.

It is amazing how much this speeds up a large project. Everything moves like it should. And like AVID you have the safety of each bin being it’s own project in case something gets corrupted, so you are really safe especially if you backup every day as you must.

Honestly with this and Speech to TEXT AVID should be shaking.

Now if only Adobe fixes Merge clips, this will be the ultimate editing program.
