The Save As command is useful for saving a copy of the current session
under a different name or in a different hard drive location. Because the Save
As command closes the current session and lets you keep working on the
renamed copy, it is particularly useful if you are experimenting and want to
save successive stages of a session. This way, you can save each major step
under a different name, such as Student Session-2, Student Session-3, and so
on. By working this way, you can always retrace your steps if you should
want to go back to an earlier version.
To use the Save As feature, follow these steps:
1. Choose FILE > SAVE AS.
2. Type a new name for the session.
3. Click SAVE.
The renamed, newly saved session will then remain open for you to continue
your work.
Tip: A third Save command, Save Copy In, allows you to create a copy
from your current session with different session parameters and
place it, along with copies of all associated audio files, in a new
location. The Save Copy In command is discussed in Lesson 10.
Locating and Opening a Session
If you know the location of the session you want to open, you can open it
directly from the File menu (choose FILE > OPEN SESSION). For recently
used sessions, choose FILE > OPEN RECENT and select the session that you
wish to open from the submenu.
If the session has not been opened recently and you are not sure of its
location, you can use a special window called a Workspace browser to
search for the session on your system.
About Workspace Browsers
Pro Tools lets you use Workspace browsers to quickly locate, manage, and
open Pro Tools sessions and related media files. Workspace browsers
provide more meaningful search, navigation, file information, and audition
capabilities than standard operating system–level functions.
