PhotoShelter's Adobe Premiere Pro CC Connector helps your video and media teams manage their workflows in a seamless, cloud-based environment. Users can browse and search for video content in the Library, and place video files from the Library into a Project File in Premiere Pro. Once a video project is complete, users can upload Media and Project Files back to their PhotoShelter Library, all from within the CC Connector.

The Adobe Premiere Pro CC Connector is an add-on feature. Please contact your PhotoShelter Customer Success Manager or email our support team for more information.

  • A license key, provided by your PhotoShelter contact. 
  • Only Admin or Editor accounts are able to log in and authenticate.

Browsing and Searching 

To browse content in your PhotoShelter Library:

Collections and galleries in your Library will be represented by folders. In the CC Connector panel, users can sort content within folders by clicking the drop-down menu below the folder name. The sort order in the CC Connector should match what's chosen in the Library, but you can re-sort your content by filename, date uploaded, date added to gallery and date created.

  • Click the folder name at the top of the Connector panel to view the folder tree, as shown below:

Uploading Media and Project Files to PhotoShelter

Media (Video) Files:

PhotoShelter requires all Media Files to be encoded and exported locally prior to upload. Media Files must meet our minimum upload requirements and may not exceed 2GB. If the exported file exceeds that size, use a different upload method.

  • Open the Connector flyout menu and select Upload Media to PhotoShelter
  • Follow the prompts to select a file from your computer to upload
  • Note that only files up to 2GB can be uploaded to PhotoShelter via the CC Connector.

Project Files:

To upload a Project File (.prproj) to a PhotoShelter Library, the Media Files within must meet our minimum upload requirements and may not exceed 2GB. If your Project File exceeds 2GB, we recommend using a different upload method. 

  • Open the Connector flyout menu and select Upload Project to PhotoShelter

Adding Metadata

The Connector allows users to include metadata upon upload. This metadata is used to ensure that Project and Media files are searchable in your PhotoShelter Library. Adding metadata in the Connector is optional, but highly encouraged for visibility.

  • Open the Connector flyout menu and select Upload Media/Project to PhotoShelter
  • In the metadata window, enter a Title, Description and/or Keywords > Upload with Metadata
  • To upload without metadata, select Upload without Metadata
