Autosave
By default, the software saves the complete project every 5 minutes, as long as video is not playing (this is because saving takes time, which interrupts video playback). Autosave also generates a snapshot of the current project in the history folder contained within the project folder.
Changing the frequency of autosave
-
Right-click the State tab to open up the Program settings menu. Select Project Settings
-
Edit the autosave frequency (min) property to the number of minutes between saves.
Autosave Frequency (Minutes) property of the Program Settings menu is used to edit the number of minutes between saves.
Manual save
-
To force the software to save all objects, hit Alt+w. Only objects that have changed will be saved.
Warning: automated saves do not make backup copies of media files (audio files, still images, mesh files and video files). You should make regular backup copies of the entire specific Project folder(s) and store them on an external hard drive or network store. For more information on where your specific Project folder is located please see the sub-chapter Projects location/structure.
