Set Story folder and track recording paths

Before you begin recording, you need to set the recording path for your Story Folders and Tracks. The recording path needs to be defined for each track you want to record with the exception of tracks within a Folder. For example, you can set a path for a Folder in the Story window and have the Tracks within that Folder point to the same path. You can also set a path for a Folder in the Story window and another path for the Tracks within that Folder. This applies also to nested Folders and Tracks. Complete lower-level paths overwrite higher-level paths, while a hierarchy of incomplete paths is assembled to form a complete path. This enables you to specify only the subfolder in the track, while the folder contains the base path..

To set a recording path for a Story Folder:

1. In the Story window, double-click a Folder to display its properties in the Resources window.
   

   Story Folder shown selected

   The Story Folders, unlike the Story Tracks, do not have a Recording options () and Recording Options menu () that enable you to define the recording path.

2. In the Resources window, in the Properties, expand the selected Folder to display its contents.
   

   The recording paths for all Story Folders are set via the Property Resources window.

3. Click .
4. In the Open Directory window choose a path for recording and then click OK.
   The recording path is set and is now shown in the RecordClipPath field.

2. In the Story window, click the Story Track's Recording options (), or Recording Options menu ( ) followed by the Recording options menu .
