Menu Reference
Save As…
Save As allows you to specify a new name and a new
project folder for the project.
Back up Project…
This item allows you to save the project into a new empty
folder. It has some additional features that can be used for
backup 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:
• By default, the original project will still be the active
project after clicking OK. That way you will be able to in-
stantly create a backup copy of your project without hav-
ing to return to the original project afterwards. You can,
however, also choose to make the new copy the active
project.
• 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 not to include video files in the backup
version of the project.
• You can choose to remove all unused files.
When you back up a project, 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 unused files and/or the video
files from the original project, you can exclude them from
the backup version.
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.
Save Library… (Cubase only)
Saves the currently open and active library. Library files
