A how-to video on sharing an Ableton Live .als file with someone else. Hopefully this video can save you a lot of time and confusion in your collaborations!
TL/DR;
1. Freeze any tracks with VST plugins
2. Collect all & save
3. Send the ".als" file AND the samples folder via WeTransfer (expect large filesizes)
Contents:
0:00 Intro
1:24 "Media files are missing"
3:20 Collect all and Save
4:55 Using WeTransfer to send the file
6:12 Freezing tracks with VST plugins
10:35 Student example project

My favorite part? When he dropped the beat and said, "oopsies!"

Your student's Sylenth1 is installed as an audio unit and yours is installed as a vst (or vst3). Live recognizes those as different plugins and gives you an error message. To fix this, install the plugin as AU and/or enable Audio Units in Live's preferences. Hope that helps!

1:18 seconds in and this immediately makes sense to me. I'm an environmental consultant and heavily use GIS software which is the same... just a giant package of links to the actual data stored in directories elsewhere on the computer. Great to see this perspective applied to Ableton, will be handy when I get going!

Thank you. This is great for collaboration. But I'm also transferring songs I'm working on onto my newer computer and updated Ableton.

Hi, Underdog! Thank you for this tutorial! Have a one question. What if my friend send me back his edited version of project, would the unfrozen plugins play like they were played before I sent project for editing?

Hey Underdog! I was wondering where u are saving and collecting to? do you take extra steps to separate your projects to save to different folders? thank you!

@@am5790 Yup! Make sure u install the splice app to ur Ableton folder so it can scan ur projects, then u can share those projects with anyone with a splice acct.
