Thanks for the clarification Oliver. Not it makes more sense.
Thanks for taking the time to explain it.

There are really two aspects of sharing with Premiere Pro. The first is to break up the film into multiple project files, such as 1 per reel. This way the editor can open and work in one, leaving the assistants or other editors access to the other projects for the other reels.

The second is to use Media Browser, which is a component inside of Premiere Pro. Since Premiere Pro doesn't permit multiple project files to be open simultaneously on the same system (unlike Final Cut Pro 7 or X), Media Browser becomes the solution.

This browser lets you find and import clips from your storage system into the project, but it also lets you drill into After Effects and Premiere Pro projects. For example, if you create a combo project to join all the reel sequences into a single timeline, you would use Media Browser to access the final sequence for each reel within its own project file. These would be imported into the master project. When it imports, it is bringing in a copy of that sequence, so changes made in the reel project or the master project won't affect the original sequence or the copy in the other project.

The basic philosophy is this. In Avid, the data is stored in the bin, which is a file you see on the hard drive. That bin is locked when anyone has it open in a shared system. In Premiere Pro, the project file is equivalent to the bin file in that it is a data file on the hard drive. Anyone who opens that project locks everyone else out from making changes to it.
