Save projects
When you save a project in Logic Pro, your recordings and all the changes you make are saved
with the project.
Logic Pro auto-saves your work so that you don’t lose important changes if the application quits
unexpectedly. Logic Pro shows a dialog when you reopen the project, asking if you want to use
the auto-saved version. If you choose not to, Logic Pro opens the last manually saved version of
the project.
When Show Advanced Tools is selected in the Advanced preferences pane, you can save
a project as a package, or save it as a project folder that contains the project file, along with
subfolders for assets and other files used in the project (including audio files, impulse responses,
sample instruments, samples, and Ultrabeat samples).
When you save a project as a project folder, the project (package) is saved in the project folder,
and the asset types selected in the Save or Save As dialog are saved to the corresponding
subfolders in the project folder.
When you save a project, you can choose whether to copy audio files and other assets in the
project or reference them in another location. Saving assets in the project makes it safer to move
or copy the project without losing the connection to these files. You can change these settings
later by choosing File > Project Settings > Assets. For more information, see
Manage project
assets on page 155.
You can also save a project as a template, and use the template to create new projects.
Saving templates makes it easier to create projects with frequently used instruments or Mixer
configurations, or video or surround projects, for example. Screensets can be customized for
each template, or you can copy them between templates using the various Import Settings
commands. For more information, see
Import data and settings from other projects .
