the Install Template In System option is enabled.
The Category pop-up menu lets you select the
subdirectory in which to save the template file.
It also provides options for adding a category
and revealing the Session Templates folder in
Windows Explorer or the Mac Finder.
Add Category Select this option from the Cate-
gory pop-up menu to create a new subdirectory
in the Session Templates folder.

you type a new name for the template file. From
the Name pop-up menu (to the right of the

the templates available in the currently selected

Name field, letting you overwrite, or create a in-
cremental version of, an existing template.

all media in the session is included in the
template. If you want to include media in
your session template, be sure that your ses-
sion only contains the media you want.
