Saving projects
To save a project
• To retain all changes to an After Effects project, choose File > Save.
• To save a project with a new automatically generated name, chose File > Increment And Save. A copy of the
currently opened file is saved in the same folder as the original file, named with the original name followed by a
number. (If the project name already ends with a number, that number is increased by 1.)
• To save a project to a different name or location, choose File > Save As, specify a file name and location, and click
Save. The project currently open takes the new name and location; the original file remains unchanged.
• To save a copy of the project using a different name or location, choose File > Save A Copy, specify a file name and
location, and click Save. The project currently open retains its original name and location, and a copy is created
but not opened.
You can use the Collect Files feature to gather copies of all files in a project into a single folder. See “Collecting files
in one location” on page 598

Auto-saved file names are based on the project name: After Effects adds “auto-save n”(wheren is the number of the
file in the auto-save series) to the end of the file name.
1 Choose Edit > Preferences > Auto-Save (Windows) or After Effects > Preferences > Auto-Save (Mac OS).
2 Do any of the following, and then click OK:
• Select Automatically Save Projects, and type the number of minutes between saves.
• Type a number for the Maximum Project Versions to specify how many versions of each project file you want to
save. For example, if you type 5, After Effects saves five versions of each project you open. When the number of
files saved reaches the maximum you specify, the Auto-Save feature overwrites them starting with the oldest file.

Close the project.
2 Choose File > Open Project.
