The Project Window

The Project window is the home to all your projects. This is where you organize all your

work to help you work efficiently. You can also use the Project window as a clipboard area to

save versions of a composition.When you start Avid FX, a copy of your current composition

is automatically added to the Project window. You can drag tracks or entire compositions

into this window at any time.
