Creating Templates with Pro Tools
7.4.x and Lower
With Pro Tools 7.4.x and lower, the process for
creating and using custom templates differs for
Mac and Windows.
Creating and Using Mac Templates
On Mac, create a session template by saving a
session file as a
Stationery Pad
document. Once a
session is saved as a Stationery Pad, it acts as a
template that can be opened and saved as a new
session, or opened as the original stationery pad
for editing.
To create a custom session template on Mac:
1
Create a session and arrange its elements as
you want them to appear in the template. In ad-
dition to track setup, you can also define ele-
ments such as signal routing, insert and send
configurations, Mix and Edit window views,
ruler settings, and Preference settings.
2
Choose
File > Save As
.
3
Name the session and click Save.
4
Close the session.
5
In the Mac Finder, locate the session file that
you just saved.
6
Click once on the file to select it.
7
Choose
File > Get Info
.
8
If necessary, click the General expand/collapse
triangle to display the General information and
options.
9
Select the Stationery Pad option.
10
Select the Locked option.
11
Close the information window.
To use a session template on Mac:
1
In Pro Tools, open the session template using
the File > Open Session command.
When you open a session saved as a Stationery
Pad, Pro Tools gives you the option of editing
the template or starting a new session using the
template settings.
2
Click one of the following:
Edit Stationery
Lets you edit the session, but the
session remains a template. After you save your
changes, close the session, and re-open the ses-
sion, you are again prompted to either edit the
stationery pad or save a copy of the template as
a new session.
New Session
Prompts you to save a copy of the
template as a new session. You can then work in
the new session normally.
Creating and Using Windows Templates
To create a custom session template in Windows:
1
Create a session and arrange its elements as
you want them to appear in the template. You
can also define elements such as signal routing,
insert and send configurations, Track Views,
ruler settings, and Preference settings.
2
Choose File > Save As.
3
Name the session and click Save.
4
Close the session.
5
In Windows Explorer, locate the session file
that you just saved.
6
Right-click the file and choose Properties.
7
Under Attributes, select Read Only.
8
Click OK.
Do not double-click a Stationery Pad tem-
plate on the desktop to create a new session.
