Chapter 8: Sessions 91
Session Plug-in Settings Folder
When this option is selected, the session’s Plug-
in Settings folder is copied to the new location.
The references to these plug-in settings in the
session are redirected to the copied settings files.
Root Plug-in Settings Folder
When this option is selected, the contents of the
root-level Plug-in Settings Folder are copied into
a folder named Place in Root Settings Folder, indi-
cating that these files will need to be moved to
the root level plug-in settings folder on the des-
tination system before you can use them. The
references to these settings files in the session
are not redirected to point to the copied files.
Movie/Video Files
When this option is selected, session video files
(Avid or QuickTime) are copied to the new loca-
tion, and session references are updated to point
to the copied video files.
Preserve Folder Hierarchy (Pro Tools HD
Only) When selected, the relative arrangement
of session audio files located across different
drives or folders is maintained. The main folder
for the session copy will include subfolders for
each drive or folder in the original session and
the destination subfolders will use the same
names as the source drives and folders.
When this option is not selected, the Save Copy
In command copies all files of the same type, re-
gardless of their location, into a single destina-
tion folder.
Creating Custom Session
Templates
You can create custom session documents that
are pre-configured to the track setups, mixer set-
ups, window arrangements, and zoom level
Memory Locations that you use most fre-
quently. Doing this will save you the trouble of
having to create your studio setup from scratch
every time you start a new session.
Creating Windows Templates
In Windows, you can create a session template
by making a session file a Read Only document.
To create a custom session template in Windows:
1 Create a session and arrange its elements as
you want them to appear in the template. You
can also define elements such as signal routing,
insert and send configurations, Track Views,
ruler settings, and Preference settings.
2 Choose File > Save As.
3 Name the session and click Save.
4 Close the session.
5 In Windows Explorer, locate the session file
that you just saved.
6 Right-click the file and choose Properties.
You can also install and use the factory
Pro Tools Session Templates included on
the Pro Tools Installer disc in the Additional
Files folder.
