Saving and Quitting

Save frequently throughout your editing process, and again at the end of your session, whether the sequence is complete or not. You may have made only minor organizational changes or marked a few clips. Saving your project ensures these decisions are included the next time you open that project.

1.	Press Cmd-S to save the current project.
2.	Choose File > Close Project if you want to close this project. NOTE When you close a project or quit Final Cut Pro, a prompt to save appears if you have made any changes since the last time you saved the project. If this window appears, click Yes to ensure that you are saving the most recent changes. If you want to keep working on this project the next time you open Final Cut Pro, you don't have to close the project prior to quitting the program. If you quit with that project open, it will open along with the program the next time you launch Final Cut Pro.
3.	Press Cmd-Q to quit Final Cut Pro, or continue to the next lesson.
