Self-Contained Projects
If you want to share your work or transfer it to another computer, your project must be self-
contained.
The following functions facilitate this task:
Select Media > Prepare Archive to verify that every clip that is referenced in the project is
located in the project folder, and to take actions if that is not the case.
Select File > Back up Project to create a new project folder where you can save the project
le and the necessary work data. The original project remains unchanged.

Preparing Archives
The Prepare Archive function allows you to gather all les that are referenced by your project to
ensure that these are in the project folder. This is useful if you want to move or archive your
project.
PROCEDURE
1. Select Media > Prepare Archive.
If your project references external les, you are prompted if you want to copy them to your
working directory. If any processing has been applied, you must decide if you want to atten
edits.
2. Click Proceed.
RESULT
Your project is ready to be archived. You can move or copy the project folder to another location.
AFTER COMPLETING THIS TASK
You must copy audio les that reside within the project folder to the Audio folder or save them
separately. You must also move your video clips manually, as videos are only referenced and not
saved in the project folder.
Backing up Projects
You can create a backup copy of your project. Backups only contain the necessary work data. All
media les except the les from VST Sound archives are included as a copy.
PROCEDURE
1. Select File > Back up Project.
2. Select an empty folder or create a new one.
3. Make your changes in the Back up Project Options dialog and click OK.
