28 TASCAM X-48MKII3 You can navigate up to select another drive. ClickSave to export the project.Exporting as an AAF file8When exporting as an AAF file, you can export as anembedded or non-embedded file. When you choosethe File menu “Export Project...” item the export screenappears. On this screen, you can set whether to exportan embedded AAF file or a non-embedded AAF file. Thedifference between embedded and non-embedded filesis explained below.Embedded AAF files contain all the information and•audio files for a project. In other words, the entireproject can be stored in a single embedded AAF file(.aaf ). The maximum size of a single AAF file, however,cannot exceed 2 GB. For this reason, if the total dataof the project exceeds 2 GB (because it has manytracks and/or very long clips), you must export it asa non-embedded AAF. If you try to export a projectthat is larger than 2 GB as an embedded AAF, an errormessage will appear and exporting will be canceled.Non-embedded AAF files only contain the project•information. When you export this way, a folder thatcontains all the audio files will also be created. As withembedded AAF files, the maximum size is 2 GB, but thislimitation has no practical effect since non-embeddedAAF files do not contain audio files.Copying a ProjectYou can make a copy of a project with the X-48MKII, forinstance as a backup to another drive.
