25. Saving this project Let's save this project, in case we need it again in the future

26. Saving this project Save it in the projects folder we created earlier

27. The saved project Here is the project file in a Finder window It is quite small, only 16 KB

28. Project files A project file can be quite small because it does not contain copies of the assets (clips or still images) used in the project Instead, it contains –the location, on the hard drive, of the assets used –the video and audio trims/edits that have been made –the order and manner of playback of all tracks in the sequence timeline –any effects/filters and transitions used

29. Discarding the two-clip movie Since we have saved the project, we can always regenerate the QuickTime movie again in the future So, save space by putting this second.mov file in the trash-can too
