I´m really missing this posability in WL. I can do this with any other DAW that I use; Logic and Digital Performer.
This is very useful
when
*moving projects between computers.
*archiving projects without the risc of deleting files that have been used.
Happened to me many times that files got deleted or moved to another location.
I´d also like to see the feature that automaticly saves the audio files into a folder system together with the montage on import. (as done in PT and Digital Performer)
This would be very useful.
Would really like these feature as files usually wander around and get deleted!
I have never actually used this, so when I answered above, I thought I should at least try it. I simply saved the montage I had open using the default settings that came up (file per clip, avoid duplicates), and that was the result.
At first, I thought it might be related to the fact that I was playing the montage at the time, but doing it again with playback stopped produced the same result.
I was surprised to notice that the clips list doesn’t have a column to show the files referred to, but I guess I could have ticked the option to change the clip titles to show them. However, they are correct, as the audio display shows. The original has two files (Pt1 and Pt2), whereas the clone has 15 files, one per clip.
Found the cause for you. Looking at the marker list, you can see that they are set “relative to audio in focused clips”, and these offsets have not been adjusted correctly when the separate files per clip have been created (most have the same offset as they had originally, but a few have been adjusted almost but not quite correctly - e.g. the Rutter and last track end markers are exactly 3sec earlier than they ought to be).
So meanwhile there will be no problem using this facility if you clone the original files, or if your markers are relative to the montage (“detached”) or either of the clip ends.

PS: @PG - ignore the odd index marker in the clone marker list. It’s not there now, and I think I must have hit an odd key while doing the screen captures (I was working remotely, so there were delays, making it harder) - I wondered at the time why it asked whether I wanted to store the montage when I closed it.
Thanks for the information. I really never knew this feature excisted in WL… All those years!!! OMG… lol.
Gotta test this ASAP. I´ll get back with a report. Thanks!
