Save Session Template Dialog

The Save Template dialog provides the following options:

Install Template In System

Select this option to save the template file in the system folder referenced by the Pro Tools Session Quick Start dialog (the Session Templates in the Pro Tools application folder).

Category

The Category pop-up menu is only available if the Install Template In System option is enabled. The Category pop-up menu lets you select the subdirectory in which to save the template file. It also provides options for adding a category and revealing the Session Templates folder in Windows Explorer or the Mac Finder.

Add Category

Select this option from the Category pop-up menu to create a new subdirectory in the Session Templates folder.

Name

The Name setting is only available if the Install Template In System option is enabled. This lets you type a new name for the template file. From the Name pop-up menu (to the right of the Name field), you can select from a list of all of the templates available in the currently selected Category. Selecting one places that name in the Name field, letting you overwrite, or create a incremental version of, an existing template.

Select Location For Template

Select this option to save the template file to any directory location on your system. Note that the saved session template will not appear in the Pro Tools Session Quick Start dialog unless it is in a subdirectory (Category) in the Session Templates folder in the Pro Tools application folder.

Include Media

Select this option to include any audio, MIDI, or video media in the session with the template.
