1. Press Ctrl + S (Windows) / Cmd + S (Mac) to save your project often.
2. Set up Auto-Save: Settings → Auto Save and enable “Automatically save every _ minutes”. This protects you from unexpected crashes.
3. Make a separate backup: copy your entire project folder to an external drive or cloud storage.
4. As you go, keep good naming conventions (e.g., MyFirstEdit_v1, MyFirstEdit_v2) and preserve original media.

Good file management now saves you headaches later.
