Saving on the fly stops playback -ACID Product Family

Subject:Saving on the fly stops playback Posted by: drbam Date:11/6/2009 8:11:14 PM Using AP6 - Starting today I cannot click save while a project is playing back without playback stopping. For years I've been seamlessly saving "on the fly" but today when I now click save during playback, playback stops returning to where the cursor was (like hitting the space bar). Previously I could click save while playing and the project would continue playing which really increases my workflow efficiency. I've installed a couple of new plugins recently but have not used them in AP6. Does anyone have any idea or know what's up with this behavior? I imagine its something simple but I can't figure it out. Thanks! Message last edited on11/6/2009 8:18:07 PM bydrbam.
Subject:RE: Saving on the fly stops playback Reply by: ATP Date:11/7/2009 6:53:25 PM i had this happen. you probably saved a project using the Save As command, and then activated the checkmark for "Copy all media with project". solution: go to the Save As dialog again, uncheck the checkmark, save the project. now you can do a regular Save again without it stopping playback.

Subject:RE: Saving on the fly stops playback Reply by: drbam Date:11/7/2009 7:08:26 PM Yes! That is exactly what happened! I imported some media from an external drive and wanted to keep it with the project files so I copied the media. I forgot I had done that and thanks for the insight. Actually today after I booted the system to continue working on the project, the save on the fly was back to normal. I just figured it was some weird thing that fixed itself in the reboot, but I'll certainly remember the "save as" thing in the future. Thanks again.
