It's time to create something. All the post-production applications live in the ProHub tab of your project. From there you configure and launch a ProHub session tailored to the work in front of you, and it's up and running within about five minutes.
Launching a ProHub Session
- On the Home page, select the project you want to work on.
- Open the ProHub tab.
- Configure your session through the steps below, then confirm.
| Step | What you choose |
| System Type | The category of work — Video Editing, Color Grading, Graphics, Compositing, Audio, or Image Editing. |
| Application | The specific app you want to work in (e.g. Adobe Premiere Pro, DaVinci Resolve). |
| Plugins | (Optional) One or more plugins to pair with the chosen application. |
| Hardware | The machine spec that suits your requirement, from the available hardware options. |
| Time | How long to book the ProHub session. You can book up to 4 hours at a stretch, then extend hourly as needed. See Manage a ProHub Session. |
Your selected setup is shown with its application version and hardware spec — for example, Adobe Premiere Pro v26, Ace: 8 vCPU, 32 GB RAM, Nvidia T4 16GB vGPU. Click Confirm on the pop-up. Once your request is received, a "system is getting ready" countdown appears and the ProHub session is up and running within about 5 minutes.
Tip: For the full list of categories, applications, and plugins available on Postudio, see ProHub System Types.
Once Your Session Is Active
When the system is ready, the countdown turns into a green "System is active, time remaining" banner that counts down your booked time.
To start working, click Launch Web App (top-right of the banner) — this opens your ProHub session directly in the browser and is the quickest way in. If you'd rather have better performance, connect through the Native Connect desktop app instead (see Mac / Windows).

The active session also gives you these controls:
| Control | What it does |
| Launch Web App | Opens your ProHub session in the browser — the quickest way to start working. |
| Native Connect Apps | Connect through the desktop app instead, for better performance. See Mac / Windows. |
| Live Collaboration | Invite project members to co-edit in real time. See Live Collaboration. |
| End Session | Shut the system down when you're finished. See Manage a ProHub Session. |
| Session Support | Report a problem with the running session. See ProHub Session Support. |
Note: An Extend Session option (adds 1 hour) appears in the active-session view when about 35 minutes or less remain. See Manage a ProHub Session.
Recently Used Configuration
If you launch the same setup repeatedly, you don't need to reselect the system type, software, plugins, hardware, and time every time. Use the Recently Used option to relaunch an identical session in one click.
