Items to Copy
When saving a copy of a session with the Save
Copy In command, you can select which items are
copied, as follows:
Audio Files
When this option is selected, all audio files are
copied to the new location. This setting is automat-
ically selected if you select a Session Format lower
than 10.0.
Convert To Specified Format
When the Convert To Specified Format option is
selected, all copied audio files are converted to the
specified audio file format settings in the Session
Parameters section. When this option is not se-
lected, any copied audio files retain their original
audio file format settings (including sample rate
and bit depth), and are exactly copied, bit-by-bit.
This option is automatically selected if you do any
of the following:
• Save to a session format lower than 10.0.
• Enable
Enforce Mac/PC Compatibility.
Don’t Copy Elastic Audio Rendered Files
When this option is selected, Elastic Audio Ren-
dered files are not copied to the new session’s Ren-
dered Files folder.
When opening the new session, Pro Tools opens
the session with all available media and any miss-
ing Rendered files are regenerated automatically.
Main Playlist Only
When this option is selected, only the main playl-
ists are included with the session copy. Any alter-
nate playlists are not included with the session
copy.
When this option is not selected, all playlists are
included with the session copy.
Selected Tracks Only
When this option is selected, only the selected
tracks in the source session are saved with the ses-
sion copy. This option is automatically enabled
when choosing
File > Export > Selected Tracks As
New Session
.
When this option is not selected, all tracks in the
source session are saved with the session copy.
This option is automatically disabled when choos-
ing
File > Save Session Copy.
Session Plug-In Settings Folder
When this option is selected, the session’s Plug-In
Settings folder is copied to the new location. The
references to these plug-in settings in the session
are redirected to the copied settings files.
Note that copying formats bit-by-bit is much
faster than converting files.
