Create projects



You can create projects by using Adobe Bridge, the Adobe Drive context menu, or Version Cue Server Administration, which provides options for specifying advanced project properties.

You must have Project Administration permissions to be able to create projects in Version Cue. If you create a shared project, make sure that the Version Cue Server is set to be visible to others. If the server is private, other users cannot access the shared project. If settings allow, new projects are available to other users only after they connect or reconnect to the server.

Create a project using Version Cue Server Administration

  1. Open Version Cue preferences. In Windows, open the Control Panel and double-click Adobe Version Cue CS4. In Mac OS, click Adobe Version Cue CS4 in System Preferences.
  2. Click Server Administration, and log in. (You must have administrator rights to create a project.)
  3. Choose Create a Project on the Home tab, or click the Projects tab and click New.
  4. Select whether to create a blank project or create a project that you import from a folder, FTP server, or WebDAV server.
  5. Follow the instructions to finish creating the project. (See Create and manage projects in Version Cue Server Administration.)

Create a project in Adobe Bridge

  1. Use Adobe Drive to connect to a Version Cue Server as an administrator or as a user with project creation rights.
  2. Start Adobe Bridge.
  3. Open the Version Cue server where you want to save the project, and then choose Tools > Version Cue > New Project.

    If Version Cue doesn’t appear in the Tools menu, make sure that Version Cue CS4 and Adobe Version Cue CS4 SDK are selected in the Adobe Bridge Startup Script preferences. See Can’t see Version Cue features in Adobe Bridge.

  4. In the New Project dialog box, enter a name for the project in the Project Name box and a description in the Project Info box.
  5. To make this project and its files available to others, select Share This Project With Others.
  6. Click OK.
