Adobe Premiere Pro Relations

The iconik Panel will automatically create relations as assets are created and used in iconik. These relations are:

  • Product of/Source for - When a sequence is rendered and uploaded to iconik using the panel and the Adobe Premiere Pro Project is already stored in iconik we make a relationship between the iconik assets.
  • Used In/Uses - When a Adobe Premiere Pro is uploaded to iconik we make a relationship to all iconik Assets that are used in that project.
