146 Chapter 7 Working in the Waveform Editor

Saving Audio File Projects

You can save a project as an audio file project or as a standard audio file, and can

choose other options when you first save the file. Audio file projects are saved with the

extension .stap. Saving a project as an audio file project lets you make changes to

actions and other edits when you reopen the project in the Waveform Editor. You can

also save a project as a standard audio file. In this case, the edits you have made are

rendered into the audio file, and cannot be changed or undone the next time you

open the audio file in the Waveform Editor.

To save a project as an audio file project:

1 Choose File > Save.

2 In the Save dialog, type a name for the file and browse to the location where you want

to save it.

3 Choose the file type for the project from the File Type pop-up menu.

The available choices in the Save dialog change depending on whether you choose

Audio File Project or an audio file format as the file type.

4 Optionally, select the Flatten checkbox to flatten the project. Flattening a project

flattens or coalesces the actions in the project, reducing project complexity and file

size. Once you flatten a project, you can no longer edit existing action settings.

5 Optionally, select the Render checkbox to create a render file in the project. If you are

working with a clip sent from Final Cut Pro, be sure this checkbox is selected.

6 Click Save.
