if you want to save your timeline and gallery information the way they are and continue working on them as a different file, you should save the project and then create a new version.

    in the main menu, select file ] version.

    new creates a new timeline and new galleries as copies of the old ones, so you can save these ones without overwriting the others. all common temp files and rendered files are shared between the versions, which saves you drive space and render time. you can copy and paste clips and sequences of clips from one version to another. a project can contain up to 20 versions.

    switch switches to a different version of the same project.

    delete removes the current version and all version directory/sub-directories from the project.

    a version can contain up to 20 galleries open at a time and 30 galleries closed at a time, for a total of 50 galleries per version.

    to open a 7.6/7.5 timeline or gallery that was part of a project, use the file ] open project timeline or open project gallery timeline. when you save the timeline it will be saved using the new 8.0 format, so be sure to make a copy of your 7.6/7.5 project if you want to archive an existing timeline in the older file format.

    to open a timeline file that was created using an older version of dpsvelocity, or to open a ↑*.tml file file that is not part of a 7.6/7.5 project, create a new project in 8.0. copy the ↑*.tml file to the correct location in this new project's folder. you will then be able to use the file ] open project timeline function to open the timeline.

    if you used the backup/restore function in 7.1 to archive your project you will have to add the .tle file extension to your timeline file when you copy it from the version 7.1 tle folder to the appropriate version 8.0 folder. the option to "open 7.0/7.1 timeline" has been removed from the file ] timeline menu. the option to "open 7.0/7.1 gallery" has been removed from the file ] gallery menu.
