What is a duplicate project in ScreenFlow?

A duplicate project in ScreenFlow is a copy of an existing project that you create to make changes without affecting the original project. This feature is particularly useful when you want to experiment with different editing techniques or versions of a project, but don't want to risk losing or altering the original content.

When you duplicate a project in ScreenFlow, all the media files, edits, and settings from the original project are copied over to the new one. This allows you to have a starting point that is identical to your original project. You can then proceed to make any changes or additions to the duplicate project without any fear of losing your original work.

How to duplicate a project in ScreenFlow?

Duplicating a project in ScreenFlow is a straightforward process. First, you need to open the project you want to duplicate. Once the project is open, go to the "File" menu located at the top of the screen. From the drop-down menu, select the "Duplicate" option. This will create a copy of your project.

The duplicated project will appear in a new window, and it will have the same name as the original project but with the word "copy" added to it. You can rename the duplicated project by clicking on the project name at the top of the screen. Remember to save the duplicated project to avoid losing any changes you make.
