Working with projects

A project file (.ceditprj) saves the relevant information about your source media: file locations, edits, insertion points, transitions, and effects.

A project file is not a multimedia file. It contains pointers to the original source files, so you can edit your project nondestructively. You can be creative without worrying about corrupting your source files.

Catalyst Edit saves a backup copy of your project automatically. If Catalyst Edit terminates unexpectedly, the autosaved project will be opened the next time you start.
