Snapshot vs Duplicate Project was created by MsJustine

Hi All,

Is it better to Duplicate Project or Duplicate Project as Snapshot??

I am a tad confused by the 2 almost similar terms, from what I have read, it seems Snapshot is better as it makes the file created independent of the original project file, is my understanding correct?

Thanks

Yes you are correct. Any compound clips will be frozen in time with a Snapshot whereas with a normal dupe any changes you make to a compound clip will ripple through the other versions.

One is not generally "better" than the other, they are two different animals. Depends on what your goal is. Use the one that suits you're goal for duplication better.
