Default Forgot to check \'auto copy files on import\' what now?

Hello.

Forgot to check 'automatically copy files on import', so all my SFX in this particular session are being streamed from my SFX drive.

What is the best procedure for getting all the media in the same folder?

Do I have to move the files manually and then re-link? SADiE has a couple of features that make this a one-click process, how about PT?


Sorry I realize this is a silly mistake but I'm still getting to grips with some aspects of PT. Any help much appreciated.

Thank you
m

Select the files in the project browser. Select copy-and-relink from the toolbox.

You could also "Save copy as" select copy all files, and that would create a session with all your media.

Yes, this is the absolute best way to make sure all files are in the session folder.

You can also turn your SFX drive into a TRANSFER only drive from within Workspace (as long as it's a different drive from where your session lives)
