Saving this project • Let's save this project, in case we need it again in the future
Saving this project • Save it in the projects folder we created earlier
The saved project • Here is the project file in a Finder window • It is quite small, only 16 KB
Project files • A project file can be quite small because it does not contain copies of the assets (clips or still images) used in the project • Instead, it contains • the location, on the hard drive, of the assets used • the video and audio trims/edits that have been made • the order and manner of playback of all tracks in the sequence timeline • any effects/filters and transitions used
Discarding the two-clip movie • Since we have saved the project, we can always regenerate the QuickTime movie again in the future • So, save space by putting this second .mov file in the trash-can too
