How to grab an overview of a Synfire project

Author blacksun

This content is for an older version of Synfire. The current version is more streamlined and advanced, but most of the functionality shown here still exist.

Synfire is a very complicated program and it can sometimes be difficult to understand someone elses work or even your own when coming back to it after a period of time. This video shows a simple way of generating a simple overview of a project.

A bug/feature was discovered whilst making the video which probably affects a number of parameter types, however a simple work around is shown in the video. It is possible a preference setting would alter the way synfire treats these parameters and would avoid using the work around, but I havent investigated this yet.

Updated the video to show the inclusion of the freeze function which simplifies things even further.

Thanks blacksun, very helpful.  I hadn't explored the Freeze option yet and I think I'll find it very useful!
