The Projects tab in Serato Studio's Libary allows you to manage saved projects, just like you would sounds and other content. You can organise them via crates and sub-crates, or drag & drop them to quickly load a saved project. Serato Studio project files use the .ssp (Serato Studio Project) file extension:
They are however stored inside a project folder, which will match your .ssp file name:
