So I’m trying to create a Template Project with a Template Montage included. Does the Project Template save Montages “owned” by it? If not, what does a Project Template include - only the plugins/playback processing and such? The functionality seems limited for a Template workflow, or potentially buggy. Please see video below:
As you’ll see, the montage I had open when I created that Template Project does not open, and also the Title Bar at the top of the window doesn’t reflect the Project name I just created. I have to File > Project > Open to get it to seem as though we’re in that project.
You can create a project based on a project template, or a montage based on a Montage template. But you can’t create both a project and a montage (at the same time) from both a project template and a Montage template.
Only useful if you need a specific working group layout, eg. as on the following picture.
(or more simply, with a single panel with multiple empty file groups)
Audio montage templates are generally more useful.
This being said, your request makes sense (to have a montage template automatically created with a project, I note the idea).
However, what you could do is this: at startup, create a montage from the desired template.
Later, use the Project function “Save Current Session As New Project…”
