# Adobe Premiere Pro With Wasabi

[Adobe Premiere Pro](https://www.adobe.com/products/premiere.html?promoid=6WTV74C8&mv=other) is the leading video editing software for film, TV, and the web. Adobe Premiere Pro does not natively support cloud storage such as Wasabi Hot Cloud Storage.To leverage Wasabi’s low-cost, high-speed cloud storage service, we have partnered with [LucidLink](https://www.lucidlink.com/) to provide a seamless experience for all Adobe users.

> [!WARNING]
> The data restoration process is handled by your specific backup software application. As many potential variables can affect your unique environment, it is strongly recommended that you seek guidance from your backup software’s technical support team if you encounter difficulty or have application-specific questions.

The filespace will be displayed on the dashboard.

### Initializing the Filespaces

1. Once the Filespace has been created, click **Initialize**.

![adobe_filespace_created.png](https://cdn.document360.io/bef0a1ea-7768-4d5a-b520-c4fe2f7fafad/Images/Documentation/5467751430811.png)
2. To initialize the Filespace, the LucidLink client application needs to be installed and operational. Click **Launch the desktop client**.

To install the LucidLink application, click [here](https://www.lucidlink.com/download).

![initialize.png](https://cdn.document360.io/bef0a1ea-7768-4d5a-b520-c4fe2f7fafad/Images/Documentation/5467766948123.png)
3. Once the LucidLink application launches, input your Wasabi S3 keyset and click **Next**.

For more information on creating access and secret keys in the Wasabi Console, review [Creating a User Account and Access Key](https://docs.wasabi.com/v1/docs/creating-a-user-account-and-access-key).

![add_api_keys-1png.png](https://cdn.document360.io/bef0a1ea-7768-4d5a-b520-c4fe2f7fafad/Images/Documentation/5467835631003.png)
4. Set LucidLink's root account password and click **Initialize**.

![root_psswd_-_adobe.png](https://cdn.document360.io/bef0a1ea-7768-4d5a-b520-c4fe2f7fafad/Images/Documentation/5467955752091.png)
5. Once initialization completes, LucidLink will cache some of your file space metadata (the file index), while the data will reside in Wasabi Cloud Storage. Once complete, click **Open the folder**.

![open_folder.png](https://cdn.document360.io/bef0a1ea-7768-4d5a-b520-c4fe2f7fafad/Images/Documentation/5467901333147.png)

At this point, all videos to be edited or altered can be moved to this folder on your workstation using drag-and-drop or other file copy operations.

### Moving Data Into the Filespace

1. Your LucidLink Filespace namespace will appear as a shared drive on your workstation, as shown below. Video assets can be moved to this drive. In this example, we moved an asset called P1000385.mp4.

![lucid_share-adobe.png](https://cdn.document360.io/bef0a1ea-7768-4d5a-b520-c4fe2f7fafad/Images/Documentation/5467979088667.png)
2. The adobedemo LucidLink namespace points to the Wasabi storage account bucket named adobedemo.wasabilucidlink- All data stored on adobedemo will physically live on Wasabi cloud storage as objects. These objects aggregate all the assets stored on the adobedemo share.

![adobe_wasabi_bucket.png](https://cdn.document360.io/bef0a1ea-7768-4d5a-b520-c4fe2f7fafad/Images/Documentation/5468021225627.png)

### Using Adobe Premiere Pro With LucidLink Filespace

To access the LucidLink filespace from Adobe Premiere Pro, you will need:

- Adobe Premiere Pro application installed
- LucidLink application is installed on the same workstation
- Wasabi Cloud Storage was configured in the LucidLink application as a storage target

1. Launch Adobe Premiere Pro and start a new project (or open an existing project).

![mceclip15.png](https://cdn.document360.io/bef0a1ea-7768-4d5a-b520-c4fe2f7fafad/Images/Documentation/360037843772.png)
2. Provide the project with a name. In this example, we used AdobeTest.

To configure where your project is saved, click **Browse**. Choose **adobedemo**, the filespace we created earlier. Click **OK** in the New Project window.

![adobe_new_proj.png](https://cdn.document360.io/bef0a1ea-7768-4d5a-b520-c4fe2f7fafad/Images/Documentation/5468347626139.png)
3. The Adobe Premiere Pro media asset pane shows all available assets for use in this project.

![media_browser.png](https://cdn.document360.io/bef0a1ea-7768-4d5a-b520-c4fe2f7fafad/Images/Documentation/5469602194203.png)

At this point, the Adobe Premiere Pro feature set is available to you.

## Joint Use Cases for Wasabi–LucidLink–Adobe Premiere Pro Solutions

Below are some of the joint use cases validated for the Wasabi–LucidLink–Adobe Premiere Pro solution:

- Collaborative video editing
- Quick access to video segments
- Active archive of video assets

## Collaborative Video Editing

This use case allows for multiple users to work simultaneously on copies of the same video project. Providing instantaneous access to media assets allows multiple users to work on and finalize the project (rather than having multiple users work ineffectively on copies of assets across different locations, which require large swaths of data to be uploaded and re-downloaded).

![collab_editing.png](https://cdn.document360.io/bef0a1ea-7768-4d5a-b520-c4fe2f7fafad/Images/Documentation/5469838314907.png)

1. Log in to your filespace using the root user account. Click **Open control panel** to manage the filespace and create users.

![Lucid_control_panel.png](https://cdn.document360.io/bef0a1ea-7768-4d5a-b520-c4fe2f7fafad/Images/Documentation/5470011002779.png)
2. In the Control panel, navigate to the **Users** tab.
3. Click **+** to add user.

![add_user.png](https://cdn.document360.io/bef0a1ea-7768-4d5a-b520-c4fe2f7fafad/Images/Documentation/5470790897435.png)
4. Provide a username and password. Click **Add user**.

![add_user-1.png](https://cdn.document360.io/bef0a1ea-7768-4d5a-b520-c4fe2f7fafad/Images/Documentation/5470827397019.png)
5. The user will be listed in the User management panel. To provide the user access to the required folder, expand **add share**. Select the desired path under **Share path**. Check the desired access level: **Read** or **Read and Write**. Click **+**.

![add_share.png](https://cdn.document360.io/bef0a1ea-7768-4d5a-b520-c4fe2f7fafad/Images/Documentation/5471017006107.png)

Follow the steps above to create multiple users.
6. Users can log in to the Lucid application using their accounts.

![new_user_login.png](https://cdn.document360.io/bef0a1ea-7768-4d5a-b520-c4fe2f7fafad/Images/Documentation/5471118707099.png)

With multiple users created and granted access to the same share, the metadata of the video assets will be made available to all users for simultaneous video editing.

### Quick Access to Video Segments

Uploading data to a Wasabi account through the LucidLink application has several benefits.

- LucidLink application chunks up the data into 256KB objects before uploading data to Wasabi
- LucidLink is a distributed file system that splits the data and metadata layers, allowing simultaneous user access
- LucidLink streams, prefetches data, and offers caching support
- Wasabi re-encrypts data once it is stored in Wasabi.

With this flow in mind, when a video asset is altered, the LucidLink application downloads only the segments that require alteration. This behavior makes accessing the asset for alteration and re-upload much quicker than with traditional methods.

### Active Archive of Data

Wasabi Cloud Storage services are 100% hot. With no service tiers and no lifecycle policy complications, all of your video assets are available 100% of the time. With traditional designs, video assets are aged out to low-cost storage via lifecycle policies, resulting in long retrieval times. With our joint offering, you will benefit from active archiving ability with instant data availability.

## Troubleshooting

To troubleshoot any performance or connectivity issues with your Wasabi–LucidLink filespace, you will need the following information.

Your Wasabi Account ID or email address associated with your Wasabi account

- Your Wasabi Bucket name
- The Wasabi region in which your bucket is located

If you are using the Basic LucidLink filespace and have signed up for a Wasabi account through LucidLink, you may not be aware of the above details. You can retrieve the Wasabi bucket and region information using the **lucid status** command. To get this information:

1. Open a command prompt window or terminal from your machine connected to the LucidLink filespace and run the **lucid status** command.

![support.png](https://cdn.document360.io/bef0a1ea-7768-4d5a-b520-c4fe2f7fafad/Images/Documentation/5966388420379.png)

The command provides information about the filespace, including details about the cloud storage provider, bucket name, region, and endpoint URL.

```plaintext
C:\Users\wasabi>lucid status
Client state: Linked
Filespace object store state: connected
Filespace object store download latency: low
Filespace object store upload latency: low
Filespace service state: connected
Filespace file index: up-to-date
Filespace name: partner-engg.wasabilucidlink
Filespace id: ffa6f0c3-21bc-448b-8b4d-606c867ebf25
Filespace block size: 256KiB
Filespace encryption mode: full encryption
Filespace bucket name: lucidlink-files
Filespace compression: lz4
Filespace maximum file size: 512TiB
Filespace object store bucket name: lucidlink-files

```
2. Now that you have this information, you can check to see if you can reach that region and bucket. If not, refer to [What should I do if I'm not seeing the network performance I expect?](https://docs.wasabi.com/v1/docs/network-performance#what-should-i-do-if-im-not-seeing-the-network-performance-i-expect)

Make sure you can reach the appropriate endpoint URL by using the **ping** or **traceroute** commands. (For region-specific URLs, refer to [Service URLs for Wasabi's Storage Regions](https://docs.wasabi.com/docs/what-are-the-service-urls-for-wasabis-different-storage-regions).)
3. You may also want to run a Speed Test between your local system and the edge of the Wasabi Region. Refer to the instructions in the [network performance](https://docs.wasabi.com/v1/docs/network-performance#what-should-i-do-if-im-not-seeing-the-network-performance-i-expect) article, or you go directly to http://wasabi.speedtestcustom.com/ (contact [Wasabi Support](mailto:support@wasabi.com) for the password).

If you are still unable to resolve your issues and there are no specific error logs that the LucidLink team has identified, contact [Wasabi Support](mailto:support@wasabi.com) with the following information ready.

- Account ID or email address associated with your Wasabi account
- Bucket name
- Wasabi region in which your bucket is located.

4. LucidLink recommends disabling the **Automatic audio waveform generation** in Adobe Premiere Pro to utilize the streaming capabilities built into LucidLink.

### LucidLink Filespace Settings

LucidLink writes the files to Wasabi in 256KB block sizes. This is the default setting when creating a filespace. We have noticed that increasing the block size to 512KB provides improved performance.

> [!WARNING]
> The block size is set during the filespace creation process. It cannot be changed once a filespace is created.

To change the block size of your filespace:

1. During the LucidLink filespace creation process, Step 6 in [Creating a LucidLink Filesapce](/v1/docs/how-do-i-use-adobe-premiere-pro-with-wasabi#creating-a-lucidlink-filespace) above, select the **Configure advanced settings** checkbox and click **Next.**

![block_size_change_-1.png](https://cdn.document360.io/bef0a1ea-7768-4d5a-b520-c4fe2f7fafad/Images/Documentation/5515464464027.png)
2. Select a block size of 512 KB, then click **Next**.

![block_size_change_-2.png](https://cdn.document360.io/bef0a1ea-7768-4d5a-b520-c4fe2f7fafad/Images/Documentation/5515451012123.png)
3. Review the filespace configuration summary and click **Create**.
4. Administrators should also change the default **Max Upload Connections** and **Max Download Connections** to 32 connections up/down from 64. Log in to the Lucid control panel following Step 1 in [Collaborative Video Editing](/v1/docs/how-do-i-use-adobe-premiere-pro-with-wasabi#collaborative-video-editing). Navigate to **Settings** and change the **Maximum upload connections** and **Maximum download connections** to 32.
