Copy/Delete a Project
Changes in a current Project are constantly saved. If you want to freeze the actual state of a Project, you
can create a copy of it.
Do not use the Windows Explorer for copying or moving Projects! Doing so may cause you to lose data!
Do not use the standard Windows dialogs “Save (as)” or “Open” to copy, delete or rename Projects!
Save A Copy
1 Select File > Manage Projects > Save a Copy.
2 Type a name for the copy in the name field in the dialog box that appears.
If you want a different folder to the pre-selected folder that Avid Liquid opens first, you have to
select the new location using the Open/Create a Project dialog box.
3 Click OK.
Finally, the original Project with the original name stays opened in Avid Liquid.
If you change the file extension the copy will not be recognized as a Project any more and Avid Liquid will
not open it.
Delete Project (with Media and Render Files)
It sometimes becomes necessary to delete Projects that are no longer needed. In this case, proceed as fol-
lows:
1 Select File > Manage Projects > Delete Project
2 In the dialog box that appears, select the Project you want to delete.
Click Delete Media Files to not only erase object data, such as clips and Sequences, but also all Media Files
of a particular Project. This option should be used with care, since it is not possible to reverse the com-
mand once it has been carried out.
The same is true for the deletion of media files, which is also possible here.
3 Click Delete to erase the Project from the hard disk. The system will not prompt you for confir-
mation.
Clean Up Project
This function (located in the shortcut menu for the desktop Tra sh icon) deletes some of the peripheral
Project data, which can become quite extensive especially for large and long, edited Projects.
This function does not delete any objects, Sequences or Media Files.
