# Adobe projects and productions in Curator

#### 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**. See [Create a production](/docs/create-a-production) and [Create an Audition Production](/docs/create-an-audition-production).

#### 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:
