656 Chapter 29 Project and File Interchange
m Turn on the “Copy movie files to project folder” checkbox if you want to copy the
QuickTime movie used in the project.
Files are only copied into the project folder when the project is saved.
Once saved, the project is “safe,” allowing you to move or copy the entire project folder
without losing any references that point to files within the folder.
To access the project asset checkboxes at any time, do one of the following:
m Choose File > Save As.
m Choose File > Project Settings > Assets (or use the corresponding key command).
m Click the Settings button in the Arrange Toolbar, then choose Assets from the menu.
Working With Standard MIDI Files
Standard MIDI files are not specific to a particular sequencing program, hardware
sequencer, or type of computer. They contain the following information:
 MIDI events, including time positions and channel assignments
 Names of the individual tracks
 Names and positions of markers
 Tempo changes
 Copyright marks
Logic Express allows you to import, open, and export Standard MIDI file
formats 0 and 1:
 Format 0 contains all data in one track.
 Format 1 can contain multiple tracks, each with independent data.
Neither format recognizes any division of a track (into several MIDI regions, for
example).
Opening and Importing Standard MIDI Files
An import only loads MIDI region data (notes, controller, SysEx, pitchbend, specific meta
events) into an opened project, with global data (such as tempo events, signatures,
chords, track names, SMPTE start, and so on) being ignored.
Important: If you want to load all information contained in a MIDI file, you must open
it.
