-
Save your ACID project. The project must be saved before you can embed the project reference in the rendered file.
-
Perform the procedure described in the Rendering Files topic to choose the file type and location for rendering your files, and select the Save project as path reference in rendered file check box.
The check box will be unavailable if you haven’t saved your project or if you’re rendering using a third-party file-format plug-in.
-
Do either of the following:
-
Right-click a media file in the Explorer window.
-
Right-click an track header choose Track Clip from the shortcut menu to edit the track’s active clip.
-
Right-click an event on the timeline and choose Event Clip from the shortcut menu to edit an event’s clip.
-
Choose Edit Source Project. A new ACID window will open with the source project.
If a track’s media was created from an ACID project and rendered with the project path reference in the file, you can also click the Edit Source Project 
button in the Track Properties window to open the source project in a new ACID window.
-
Edit the project as necessary.
-
Render the edited project using the same name as the original media file and close the second ACID window.
If you’re editing an existing track, your project will automatically be updated to use the latest rendered media file.
Project References in Rendered Files |
When you save the project path in a rendered file, you can easily return to the source project if you use your rendered file in another project.
The project information in the rendered file is a reference to a project file only. If you modify the project file after rendering, the project data will no longer match the rendered file. To edit a project using a path reference, the project file and all media must be available on your computer.
