Chapter 3: File Menu
File menu commands are used to create and maintain
Pro Tools sessions.
File menu
Save As
The Save As command lets you save a copy of the current session under a different name, or in a different location. Because
the Save As command closes the current session and allows
you to keep working on the renamed copy, it is useful for saving successive stages of the session.
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.
New Session
The New Session command lets you create and name a new
Pro Tools M-Powered Essential session.
Open Session
The Open command opens a session previously created with
Pro Tools. Only one session can be open at a time.
Close Session
The Close command closes the current session without quitting Pro Tools. Pro Tools prompts you to save changes before
closing the session.
Save
The Save command saves changes made since the last time the
session was saved. You cannot undo the Save command.
Save Copy In
This command is available when you purchase Pro Tools
M-Powered.

Bounce to Commands
The Bounce to commands let you mix tracks together into one
file.
Bounce to Disk
The Bounce to Disk command allows you to mix together the
outputs of all currently audible tracks routed to a common
output path to create a new audio file. You can use the Bounce
to Disk command to create a submix or to create a final mix in
any of several audio file formats.
For more information, see the Essential User Guide.
Bounce Source Selects the audio output path to bounce. Only
audio routed to the selected path will be included in the
bounce.
Sample Rate Selects the sample rate.
Whenever a Bounce to Disk is configured to a different file
type, file format, resolution, or sample rate, additional options become available to convert during or after the
bounce. See “Additional Bounce Options” on page 6 for
more information.
Import After Bounce Automatically imports the audio after it is
bo unced and adds it to the Region List so that it ca n be used in
the session.
The Import After Bounce option is only available if the target file type and sample rate for the bounce are the same as
the file type and sample rate of the current session, and the
target resolution (bit rate) is the same or lower than the resolution of the session. In addition, tracks bounced to a Stereo Interleaved file cannot be imported after a bounce.
Additional Bounce Options
The following Bounce options are only available when bouncing to a different file type, format, resolution, or sample rate.
Conversion Quality Selects the quality, with option ranging
from lowest to highest, when bouncing to a new sample rate.
Use Squeezer Optimizes the dynamics of the bounced audio
before conversion to 8-bit resolution.
Convert During Bounce Automatically performs file type, sample rate, and bit resolution conversion as the file is being
bounced.
Convert After Bounce Automatically performs file type, sample rate, and bit resolution conversion after the file has been
bounced.
Enforce Avid Compatibility Creates frame-accurate edits, wraps
the files as OMFI (unless File Type is MXF), and limits the sample rate options to 44.1 kHz or 48 kHz. Dithering without
noise shaping will be applied to files being exported from
24-bit to 16-bit.
File Type Selects the audio file type. Choices include BWF
(.WAV), AIFF, and MPEG-1 Layer 3 (MP3). Windows systems
also include Windows Media (Windows). Mac systems also include SD II and Sound Resource. Systems with the DigiTranslator™ option also support MXF audio files. Creating an MP3
requires the MP3 Option (not included). Certain file types are
restricted in regards to format, resolution, and sample rate.
Format Selects the channel format (number of channels).
Choices are mono (summed), multiple mono, or interleaved.
