Let's give our file a name. To do that, we will go up to the File menu in the top left, pull it down, and click the Save button. This opens up the Save menu, and our first option is to give our file a name.
Now, the name we want to give it is Fusion 101, so FSN 101. Then we'll put a dash, and we can put Scooter, another dash, and we want our first and last name. Now, the next box is the location, and there is an arrow next to location.
We'll click that, that opens up the location information, and we will select a new project. We'll call it Fusion 101, FSN 101. We'll click Enter on the keyboard, and that gives Fusion a moment to process that new project.
Once it is processed, we can select it and minimize that project information area, and double check we have the correct information. Our file name is FSN 101, Scooter, first name, last name. Our location is FSN 101, and now we click Save.
