If the project has not been saved, the Save As dialog appears.

Note: If the project has been saved, the project file is updated without opening a dialog.

Save a duplicate of a project

1

Choose File > Save As (or press Shift-Command-S).

The Save As dialog appears.

2

Enter a name into the Save As field, choose a location on your hard disk, then click Save.

Save a project and copy all project media into a folder

1

Choose File > Save As (or press Shift-Command-S).

The Save As dialog appears.

2

Choose Copy to Folder from the Collect Media pop-up menu.

Motion creates a folder with the name specified in the Save As field and places two items in the
folder:

A project file with the same name as the folder

A folder named “Media,” which contains all media files used in the project

When you save a project and collect media into a folder, you can specify whether unused media
files are collected as well.

Important:

When using the Save As command, use a name that is different from the name of any

saved versions of the same project. Otherwise, you run the risk of overwriting a version of this
project file you want to keep.
