When to use Team Projects and when to use Productions

Last updated on Jun 23, 2025

Learn what’s the difference between Team Projects and Productions? When should I use one or the other?

Team Projects enable multiuser collaboration, and your project file is stored and managed in the cloud. Productions can be used for long-form projects where breaking up your work into smaller pieces helps with collaboration and media management. With Productions, everyone needs access to the same media, either by mirrored drives or shared local or cloud storage.

Team Projects

Available in Adobe Premiere Pro and After Effects.

  • With Team Projects, you can work on the same shared project with your teammates.
  • You can add who you want and collaborate directly in the timeline.
  • Updates are saved in the cloud and shared with the team so you can work on them together.
  • Team Projects is ideal for small teams, businesses, or individuals.

Productions

  • Available in Adobe Premiere Pro.
  • Break up a large project into smaller projects so that performance is improved.
  • Use the Production panel to organize your large project into bins.
  • Your primary clips can be stored in a single project and referenced by all the other projects helping with performance.
  • Use bin locking so larger teams can work on different project files for the same shared feature.
  • Get visibility into what others are doing without conflicts.
  • Own your timeline or hand it off to your teammates when ready.
  • Ideal for larger features.
