For Adobe After Effects and Premiere Pro:
Users can create Adobe projects in Curator, which are referred to as Productions in After Effects and Premiere Pro.
Productions can be created either through Clip Link or directly from the Adobe Panel.
For Adobe Audition:
Adobe Audition uses multitrack session files (.sesx) rather than traditional project files. These sessions can be saved as Productions, similar to Premiere Pro and After Effects.
When an Audition Production is created, Curator:
Bundles the selected .sesx session file
Collects and manages all audio files referenced by the session
Packages them into a single .sesx.zip file
This allows users to store, reopen, and manage Audition sessions and their associated audio files reliably within Curator.
For Adobe Illustrator and Photoshop:
Files such as .psd (Photoshop) and .ai (Illustrator) contain all assets within their layers, so Curator does not create a separate project structure for them. However, when accessed via the Curator for Adobe panel, these files are recognised as native Adobe projects, enabling seamless editing within Photoshop or Illustrator.
Here’s a summary view:
