Understanding Project Files

Project files don’t contain any information about the individual shows that
make up the Project. Project files only know which shows are in the Project
– nothing more.

Project files are saved as PPR extensions and can be saved wherever you
want to place them on the system. They don’t have to be in the same
folder as your show files.

There’s one thing to remember, however, and that’s your project menus.
The menu you create for your project will be saved as part of the overall
project file. Those files that are used in your menu are retained just like a
show file. If you move the menu files, the menu will let you know that it’s
missing files. You can locate those files just like you would the others in
your show.
Saving a project file just updates the Project with the latest list of included
shows. That’s it. Project files are there to help you organize multiple
shows.

To Save a Project

1. Click on File in the Menu Bar and select Save Project,
2. From the sub-menu, choose Save Project, Save Project As or
Save Project and All Shows
3. Choose a location on the system and enter a name for the project
file if this is a new Project.

OR
1. In the Project pane, click either the Save
Project or Save Project and All Shows
icons.
