Save Project to New Folder…
This item allows you to save the project into a new empty
folder. It has some additional features that can be used for
archiving purposes.
When a new empty folder has been selected, a dialog ap-
pears where you can change the name of the project and
set the following options:
• You can choose to minimize audio files.
This will crop files based on the audio clips referenced in the project. As
the clips used in the project may be references to much larger audio files,
this can reduce the project size significantly.
• You can apply Freeze Edits.
This will make all processing and applied effects permanent for clips.
• You can choose to remove all unused files.
When you save a project to a new folder, all files relating to
the project based on the options set will be saved in the
new project folder. The contents of the original project
folder will be left untouched. If you are absolutely certain
that you do not have any further need for the original project
files, you can delete them.
Save as Template…
You can save any project as a template. When you create
a new project, the available templates are listed, allowing
you to base the new project on the selected template.
Saved templates will contain everything that was in the
original project, including clips and events.
