00:00:00,270 --> 00:00:06,960

From time to time it's important that you make copies or backup copies of your projects.



2

00:00:07,140 --> 00:00:12,850

Don't make one single file name like you see here and start saving and saving and saving while you're



3

00:00:12,870 --> 00:00:15,990

making a lot of changes and building projects.



4

00:00:16,050 --> 00:00:21,380

It's important that you learn how to make you know versions of the project.



5

00:00:21,390 --> 00:00:26,780

Now I have this nice animation here I'm very happy with it and I want to save this one.



6

00:00:27,030 --> 00:00:32,910

And then later on I want to introduce some changes but I don't want to over save this copy.



7

00:00:33,090 --> 00:00:37,910

So I want to have two copies this one and the one where I'm going to make changes.



8

00:00:37,980 --> 00:00:39,240

So what will I do.



9

00:00:39,240 --> 00:00:40,380

This is how I work.



10

00:00:40,530 --> 00:00:43,520

I would come to file and say save.



11

00:00:43,650 --> 00:00:49,510

So now this copy of the project coffee shop is saved.



12

00:00:49,530 --> 00:00:54,870

Now I want to start introducing some changes before I start introducing the changes.



13

00:00:54,990 --> 00:01:00,630

What I do is I come to find and say increment and save and that is what it says here.



14

00:01:00,650 --> 00:01:02,730

It's increment and save.



15

00:01:02,730 --> 00:01:04,740

It does not save an increment.



16

00:01:04,920 --> 00:01:12,390

So is going to increment the name of the file or the project and then save it let's click and see what



17

00:01:12,390 --> 00:01:13,140

happens.



18

00:01:13,170 --> 00:01:15,080

I would say increment and save.



19

00:01:15,270 --> 00:01:18,620

Now the name here has become a coffee shop two.



20

00:01:18,750 --> 00:01:25,410

So I have the first version coffee shop which is a coffee shop one and I have this version.



21

00:01:25,440 --> 00:01:26,520

Coffee shop too.



22

00:01:26,670 --> 00:01:31,380

And if you come back to file you'll notice this version is already saved.



23

00:01:31,530 --> 00:01:38,370

So it's very safe to start working because the previous version is saved and this version now is already



24

00:01:38,390 --> 00:01:38,800

saved.



25

00:01:38,890 --> 00:01:46,770

So if I make some changes for example and I put it them here OK I can come and save this one.



26

00:01:47,210 --> 00:01:47,630

Good.



27

00:01:47,700 --> 00:01:48,600

So don't go.



28

00:01:48,750 --> 00:01:51,930

Always increment and save just save first.



29

00:01:51,930 --> 00:01:54,930

Then you can go file increment and save.



30

00:01:54,930 --> 00:01:57,780

Now I have a third copy is coffee shop three.



31

00:01:57,840 --> 00:02:01,390

Why you can do that without worrying about disk space.



32

00:02:01,400 --> 00:02:06,420

And stories like this if you come to your filing system your browser in the file system or the file



33

00:02:06,420 --> 00:02:13,980

explorer you find out that the size of the project in After Effects is always very small.



34

00:02:13,980 --> 00:02:20,050

So actually there are no movies and stories like this that I've kept inside the project.



35

00:02:20,280 --> 00:02:22,250

Except when you're doing tracking.



36

00:02:22,320 --> 00:02:28,050

Now there is really a lot of information the size of the project of after effects are always very small.



37

00:02:28,320 --> 00:02:34,670

And please from now on you'll start your mission you start your compositions and you start your project



38

00:02:34,680 --> 00:02:40,610

please come and do file increment and save and make a new copy and not this it's very small.



39

00:02:40,620 --> 00:02:42,140

You don't have to worry about it.



40

00:02:42,150 --> 00:02:49,950

Now what's good about this because also I can come to file and open recent the copies are all here and



41

00:02:49,950 --> 00:02:55,460

the other ones I've been working on so I can see the first and the second and the third.



42

00:02:55,470 --> 00:03:00,630

So if I want to come back to the second I can just click here and it's already over here and I come



43

00:03:00,630 --> 00:03:01,710

to open research.



44

00:03:01,740 --> 00:03:08,220

And here you are the three of them are here now in different order because I opened number two so using



45

00:03:08,220 --> 00:03:13,980

increments and save First you said you do your work and you make versions you know upgrade.



46

00:03:13,980 --> 00:03:19,770

I will say of your work or different versions and then you can really be on the safe side.



47

00:03:19,770 --> 00:03:21,180

Thanks very much for listening.



48

00:03:21,330 --> 00:03:24,730

I hope this was very useful and please use it.



49

00:03:24,730 --> 00:03:26,170

I when the next election.
