Working with files

You can save a file in a variety of formats, including popular audio formats such as WAV and AIFF, and streaming media formats such as Windows Media®. You can save a file using a standard template, or you can customize the settings to suit your needs. Once you create custom settings, you can save those settings as a template.

You have the option to save all open files at once or to save all open files as a workspace file.

Saving a file

1.Click anywhere in the data window to select it.

2.From the File menu, choose Save.

Note: When saving a new file, the Save As dialog appears. If the file was previously saved, choosing Save automatically saves the file without your input.

The Render As dialog allows you to render a file using a standard template, or you can customize the settings to suit your needs. Once you create custom settings, you can save those settings as a template.
