Edit a Premiere or Resolve project together, in the browser
Open the project file, invite the people working on the cut, and edit it together live. When it's done, it goes back to Premiere Pro, DaVinci Resolve or Final Cut Pro as a native project. Nobody else needs the application or the media. Beta.
Start with your project
Open a .prproj, .drp or .fcpxml in the editor, or try the Premiere sample project first. Share it from the File menu once you are signed in.
Open the editor →
Add your project file or choose File > Open the Premiere Sample.
Your shared projects →
Projects you own and projects you've been invited to.
Free to edit, share and review. You pay to export: $5 per project and its revisions for the native project and an MP4, the first native export free once signed in, or included in Pro. All options →
How it works
- Open the project. Add the Premiere .prproj, Resolve .drp or Final Cut .fcpxml to the editor and choose a sequence. It is read in your browser, and the free check tells you what the editor can change and what it leaves alone.
- Share it. Share the sequence and send an invite link. Each person gets a role: editor, commenter or viewer. Links expire and can carry a passphrase.
- Cut it together. Turn on live editing. Everyone sees the same timeline, each other's playheads and selections, and every change as it lands.
- Review in the same place. Leave comments on a frame, mention someone, ask for approval. People are told in the app, and by email for mentions and approvals unless they turn it off.
- Send it back. Run the free native check, then export the edited project and open it in Premiere Pro, DaVinci Resolve or Final Cut Pro to finish.
When two people change the same thing
Every change is merged property by property. If you trim a clip while your producer changes its volume, both changes land. If you both change the same property of the same clip at the same moment, the first change wins and the other person sees which property it was. They can look at the result and make their change again.
The same rule covers deleting a clip someone else is changing, and undoing a change after someone else has changed the same property since. Nothing is overwritten without someone being told.
Your media stays with you
Editing runs in each person's browser, and footage stays on each person's computer. When collaborators need to see the pictures, you share review copies of the sources the cut uses. They are made in your browser, including from ProRes, DNxHR and MXF originals, and uploaded in the background. Anyone who has the originals links them and plays full quality. Every member can see who has which source.
The export always points at your originals, not the review copies.
What goes back into your editing application
The export writes the edit into the project file you started from, so everything the editor doesn't touch stays as it was. Cuts and trims, track layout, dissolves and dips, audio crossfades, position and scale, crop, opacity, and clip and track volume are written in each application's own terms, and colour goes into Resolve as a grade on the first node. Exported projects have been opened in Premiere Pro 26, DaVinci Resolve 21 and Final Cut Pro 11.2.
Some things don't carry. Fades, clip pan, speed ramps, reverse and freeze frames, LUTs, colour outside Resolve and text styling are not written into native projects, and neither is track pan outside Premiere. The free check names anything like this in your cut before you pay, so it is never a surprise. The same facts for every format are in the capability table.
Limits during the beta
- Everyone in a shared project signs in. Up to 25 people per project, and 10 shared projects per account.
- A shared project lasts 90 days unless its owner keeps it.
- Up to 2 GB of shared review media per project.
- The editor is for cutting, sound levels and basic picture adjustments, not for effects work or grading. Those stay in the application.
- It is new. Check the exported project against your media before you deliver, and tell us what doesn't work.
FAQ
Does everyone need Premiere Pro or Resolve?
No. Collaborators need a browser and an account. Only the person who finishes the edit needs the editing application, to open the exported project.
What is free and what costs money?
Opening projects, editing, sharing, live editing, comments and notifications are free. Exporting costs $5 per project and covers the native project and an MP4, for it and its later revisions. Your first native export is free once you are signed in, and exports are included in Pro ($9 a month).
What happens when two people edit the same clip?
Changes to different things both land, even on the same clip: one person trims it while another changes its volume. If two people change the same property at the same moment, the first change wins and the second person is told which property it was, so nothing is overwritten silently. Deleting a clip someone else is changing is refused in the same way.
Where is our footage?
On each person's own computer, until you choose to share it. You can share review copies of the sources the cut uses, made in your browser, including from ProRes, DNxHR and MXF originals. Collaborators who have the originals link them and play full quality. Everyone can see who has which source. Up to 2 GB of shared media per project.
What comes back into Premiere, Resolve or Final Cut?
The export writes your edit into the project you started from, so what the editor does not touch stays as it was. Cuts, trims, track layout, dissolves and dips, audio crossfades, position and scale, crop, opacity, and clip and track volume carry across, and colour carries into Resolve. Some things do not, such as fades, clip pan, speed ramps and text styling, and the free check lists them before you pay. Exports have been opened in Premiere Pro 26, DaVinci Resolve 21 and Final Cut Pro 11.2.
Is this a replacement for Premiere Team Projects or Blackmagic Cloud?
Not for finishing. Those work inside the applications, so everyone needs the application installed. This is for the part before finishing, when a producer, an assistant or a second editor needs to work on the cut with you and does not have the application or the media.
Is it finished?
No. It is in beta. It is built and tested, but it is new, so check exported projects against your media before you deliver. Tell us what breaks.
