When saving a copy of a session with the Save Copy In command, the following Session Parameters are available:
You can save the session to reference BWF (.WAV) or AIFF audio files.
A session can use mixed audio file types. If your original session has mixed file types, they are not converted to the selected file type unless you specify that they be converted by selecting the Convert to Specified Format option in the Items To Copy section (see Items to Copy).
Pro Tools 10.0 and higher sessions can use audio files with different bit depths. If your original session has mixed bit depths, they are not converted to the selected bit depth unless you specify that they be converted by selecting the Convert to Specified Format option in the Items To Copy section (see Items to Copy).
When saving to a Session Format lower than 10.0, if your session is in a different bit depth, audio files are converted to the new session bit depth, and copied to the specified location. Also, 32 Bit Float is not available for session formats lower than 10.0.

You can save the session at various sample rates depending on your system hardware. See Supported Hardware Configurations with Pro Tools Software.
If your session is at a different sample rate, audio files are converted to the new session sample rate, and copied to the specified location.
When saving a Pro Tools 7.x or higher session to a lower version that supports +12 dB fader gain, you can save the new session with either a +6 dB or a +12 dB maximum fader gain. When saving a +12 dB session as a +6 dB session, any automation over +6 dB will be lowered to +6 dB.
When saving a Pro Tools 7.x or higher session to a lower version, enable the Enforce Mac/PC Compatibility option to force Windows or Mac versions of Pro Tools to create sessions and audio files that are compatible on both platforms.
When saving a copy of a session to the current session format, you can choose to limit the character set to a single language by selecting the Limit Character Set option.
When saving a copy of a session to a lower session format, the Limit Character Set option is automatically selected. Select a language from the Limit Character Set pop-up menu.
To choose the language encoding when saving a copy of a session:
When saving a copy of a session with the Save Copy In command, you can select which items are copied, as follows:
When this option is selected, all audio files are copied to the new location.
This setting is automatically selected if you select a Session Format lower than 10.0.
When the Convert To Specified Format option is selected, all copied audio files are converted to the specified audio file format settings in the Session Parameters section. When this option is not selected, any copied audio files retain their original audio file format settings (including sample rate and bit depth), and are exactly copied, bit-by-bit.

This option is automatically selected if you do any of the following:
|
|
Enable Enforce Mac/PC Compatibility.

When this option is selected, Elastic Audio Rendered files are not copied to the new session’s Rendered Files folder.
When opening the new session, Pro Tools opens the session with all available media and any missing Rendered files are regenerated automatically.
When this option is selected, only the main playlists are included with the session copy. Any alternate playlists are not included with the session copy.
When this option is not selected, all playlists are included with the session copy.
When this option is selected, only the selected tracks in the source session are saved with the session copy. This option is automatically enabled when choosing File > Export > Selected Tracks As New Session.
When this option is not selected, all tracks in the source session are saved with the session copy. This option is automatically disabled when choosing File > Save Session Copy.
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 settings files.
When this option is selected, the contents of the root-level Plug-In Settings Folder are copied into a folder named Place in Root Settings Folder, indicating that these files will need to be moved to the root level plug-in settings folder on the destination system before you can use them. The references to these settings files in the session are not redirected to point to the copied files.
When this option is selected, session video files (Avid or QuickTime) are copied to the new location, and session references are updated to point to the copied video files.
When this option is selected, the relative arrangement of session audio files located across different drives or folders is maintained. The main folder for the session copy will include subfolders for each drive or folder in the original session and the destination subfolders will use the same names as the source drives and folders.
When this option is not selected, the Save Copy In command copies all files of the same type, regardless of their location, into a single destination folder.
