Tips

  • When working with large files on lab computers, consider copying them to to C:\Temp instead of working with them from a network folder or USB storage device for improved performance. Don’t forget to copy them back to another location when finished.
  • Make sure to keep backup copies of your files in two different locations. Keep one copy in cloud storage (Google Drive, OneDrive) and another on a USB storage device or on your H drive. Your media could go bad at any time, causing your files to be lost. Periodically save your project under a new file name, so that you can go back to an older version if your file becomes corrupted.
