Copy a Project
Do you want to transfer a project but keep a copy? Or have you created a project template that already includes pre-made text blocks and your team’s settings?
How to Copy a Project
Open the project settings via the project’s context menu in the project list or via the context menu directly within the editor, and select “Copy Project…”.
- Enter a new title so you can distinguish the original from the copy later.
- Select which data should be included in the copy.
- Click “Copy Project…”.
Note: Depending on the size of the project, the copying process may take a few minutes. Please be patient.
When Should You Copy a Project?
Here are a few examples of when it makes sense to copy a project, along with the recommended settings:
Transfer a Project
When handing over a project to a client, you lose control of it. For example, your client might delete the project even if you plan to review the scripts later. To avoid this, create a copy with all the data before transferring the project. The original stays with you while the client gets the copy.
Train New Authors
Are you training new authors? Should each trainee work on their own version of the same project? Create a copy for each student and invite them to collaborate individually.
Work on Similar Projects
Do you frequently edit episodes of a series? It’s likely that elements like opening and closing credits—and possibly your team—remain the same for each episode.
- Copy an existing episode, but uncheck the “Copy video and audio files” option.
- Alternatively, prepare a “template” project containing only standard elements (e.g., prologue and epilogue) and keep it in your project list. Copy this template for each new episode.
Replace with a New Video
If you’ve received an updated version of the video, the copy function allows you to keep the original and compare the two versions if needed.
If you don’t need the old version, it’s more efficient to replace the video in the existing project instead of creating a copy.
