The Save Session Copy In command lets you save a copy of the currently selected session under a different name or in a different location.
Session media can be included in the copy that you save, with options to save the media at a different bit depth, sample rate, fader gain level, or file format type. Sessions can be saved in a variety of session formats for compatibility with older systems. This command is useful for archiving sessions.
Unlike the Save Session As command, Save Session Copy In does not close the original session, so subsequent edits are made to the original session. The saved copy becomes a backup copy, and gives you the option of returning to the earlier version.
When you Save Session Copy In with a lower bit rate, the built-in Pro Tools Dither with Noise Shaping will be applied.
When you have a session with a +12 dB Fader Gain and Save Session Copy In with a +6 dB Fader gain, any fader automation breakpoints that are over 6 dB will be lowered to 6 dB.
The Items To Copy section of this dialog provides several options for copying a session along with its associated files
All Audio Files: When this option is selected, all audio files are copied to the new location. Selecting
All Non-"file type" Audio Files copies all audio files except audio files of the specified audio file type. This option's file type will always be the default audio file type of the session; so if the session's default audio file type is WAV, the option will read All Non-WAV Audio Files. Selecting Don't Copy Fade Files omits fade files from the copied data.
Session Plug-In Settings Folder: When this option is selected, the session's Plug-In Settings Folder is copied to the new location. The references to these plug-in settings in the session are redirected to the copied files.
Root Plug-In Settings Folder: When this option is selected, the Root Plug-In Settings Folder is copied to the new location. The references to these plug-in settings in the session are redirected to the copied files.
Movie/Video Files: When this option is selected, the session's video files are copied to the new location, and the references in the session are redirected to the copied movie or video file.
Revert To Saved
The Revert to Saved command restores the most recently saved version of a session, discarding all changes made since the last time you saved. Reverting to the last saved version of a session is like closing the session without saving changes and reopening it.
