Saving and Loading Projects

You can save your work in a project using the .hrox file extension. Projects can contain .nk scripts in the form of shots added by using Create Comp Clips during round-tripping. See Building VFX Tracks and Comp Clips for more information.

If you quit the application without saving, you’ll be prompted to save or discard your changes:

Click the required button or press D for Don’t Save or S to Save.

Note:  If you have a .nk script open in the same session, a second prompt is displayed so you can save your script as well.

To save a project:

1.

Navigate to File > Save Project or Save Project As...

OR

Use the Ctrl/Cmd+S or Shift+Ctrl/Cmd+S keyboard shortcuts respectively.

The Save Project dialog box displays.

2.

Browse to the save location and enter a name for the project.

3.

Click Save.

Your project is saved to the location specified and appends the .hrox file extension automatically.

To load a project:

1.

Navigate to File > Open Project.

Tip:  If you need to open a project that you worked on recently, you can select Open Recent Project to quickly locate your work.

OR

Use the Ctrl/Cmd+O keyboard shortcut.

The Open Project dialog box displays.

2.

Browse to the file location and click Open.

Your project opens and populates the necessary panel automatically.
