A Session file is the standard format Pro Tools users are familiar with—the file and all associated assets are stored on a local hard drive.
If you want to collaborate online, you will need to create a Project file, which is like a Session that’s stored online in your Avid cloud space and cached locally on your system.
Projects are a new paradigm that provides more workflow flexibility
For collaboration, it enables Pro Tools to run different services to handle all of the asset management for you once you store a Project in the cloud.
We designed and architected this new Project format to not only simplify collaboration, but to lay the groundwork for new workflows we have planned for the future—both locally and in the cloud.
Sessions aren’t going away, but we see a big opportunity to offer new and extensible workflows in the future with Projects.
