Saving a Project

Learn how to save your CANVID project files to preserve edits and continue editing your screen recording on any device.

Confirm location then save

Choose the save location from your computer, rename the file if needed, then click Save.

If you prefer to save a new copy of the Project file all the time, choose Save Project As and rename the file accordingly. Otherwise, choosing Save Project will overwrite the previous save state.

Your project file will include everything you've done in the editor, so when you open your project, you can pick up right where you left off.

Why Save?

  • Preserves all changes made in the Editor
  • Lets you come back and continue editing later
  • Enables you to export or Quick Share when you're ready

Sharing your Project Files

Once saved, your .canvid project file can be transferred to any computer with the app installed, so you can continue editing across devices.

This is especially useful for collaborative work, allowing others to edit your CANVID projects and letting you edit theirs as well.
