Creating Custom Templates
You can create custom session templates that
are pre-configured to the track setups, mixer
configurations and window arrangements that
you use most frequently. Doing this will save
you the trouble of having to create your setup
from scratch every time you start a new session.
The process for creating and saving custom tem-
plates depends on the version of Pro Tools you
are using.
Creating Templates with Pro Tools
8.0 and Higher
(Mac and Windows)
With Pro Tools 8.0 and higher, you can create
and share your own custom session templates.
Pro Tools Session Template files use the suffix
“.ptt” to differentiate them from regular
Pro Tools session files (“.ptf”).

1
Create a new Pro Tools session and configure
it for the session template you want.

audio, MIDI, or video media in the session that
you want included in the template.

op-
tion, you are prompted by the Save As Tem-
plate dialog to save the file to another
location on your system.
Creating New Sessions from Templates
You can create new session from templates by
opening a template. You can open any Pro Tools
Session Template file (.ptt) to start a new session
based on that template.
To open a Pro Tools Session Template and save it
as a new session:

Choose File > Open , navigate to the Session
Template file you want and open it.

Au-
dio File Type
,

, and
Bit Depth
for the
new session that will be created from the tem-
plate.

Click
OK
.
4
Select the drive where you want to save the
session. The session should be saved on a dedi-
cated audio drive.

Name your session and click
Save

When the Include Media option is enabled,
all media (such as audio files) in the cur-
rently open session is included in the tem-
plate.

able for saving session templates, see the
