What is a project file?
The project file is where all the assets (like video and audio files) and editing data (like transitions, timelines, and applied effects) are saved.
For instance, for a podcast, the project file would include all the recorded tracks, edits, and overlays used.
Why is a project file used?
A project file makes it easier for editors to organize their work and return to videos without losing track of their progress.
How do I run a project file?
- Open your video editing software.
- Go to the File menu and select Open Project.
- Find the project file on your computer and click Open.
How do I organize my video project files?
Create a dedicated folder. Inside the project folder, create subfolders for different assets. Save your project file in the main project folder, along with all necessary media assets. Don’t forget to use a consistent naming convention for all assets.
