Info

The Info tab lists information about the current project file including:

  • Pitch Version being used
  • Project File Properties - size, number of slides, title (file name)
  • Related Dates - date created, date last edited

New

The New tab produces the same results as selecting Create a new Pitch Project (using Theme or Virtual Set).   

Open

The Open tab has the same effect as selecting the Open Existing Pitch Project option.


Save Project

The Save option is used to save an open (and updated) Pitch presentation (.tcp file) which has previously been saved on the device or network drive using the same location and filename.   The presentation remains open after the Save operation is completed for additional development.

Note. Pitch does not operate with ‘autosave’, therefore you should save your project regularly as you make changes.

Unsaved Project File

If the Pitch project has not been saved previously, the Save request will be treated as a Save As request.  The location and filename can be entered.

Save Project As

The Save As option is used to initially save a new Pitch project file or to save an existing Pitch project using a different file name or location (the location and filename can be entered).  New project files are saved with the .tcp extension (a TouchCast format which contains interactive features). The presentation remains open after the Save As operation has completed for additional development.

Close

Close the current Pitch project.  If the currently open Pitch project file has not been saved, the following message will display:

Deleting a Pitch Project File

Pitch does not include an option for deleting project files.  If you wish to delete a project file, delete the .tcp file from the directory where it is saved.
