Import / Export

Will File → Project → Export Project save everything related to the project? Or do I also need to export using ‘Laser Settings’ ‘Clip/Effects’ ‘Timeline’ ‘DMX / Artnet’

Similar question, will ‘Clear Project’ return to all default settings?

Welcome Brad!

It should do yes! As of the current version 0.7.3 it exports :

  • Clip deck, effects and group settings
  • DMX zones and Artnet settings
  • Beam zones
  • Canvas zones, settings and target areas
  • Laser set-up, all laser settings
  • Tempo settings
  • MIDI send/receive settings
  • Timeline and all its settings

There are a few things it doesn’t currently save, but I will be adding in future :

  • Sound input settings (for the sound input oscillator)
  • MIDI input settings (for MIDI creator node)
  • Unused presets (laser settings, 3D vis settings etc), although it does save your current setting for all of those things.
  • DAC names - if you’ve renamed your DACs that will be saved as part of your Liberation install, so you may lose custom names if you move to a different computer. But it will save the actual DAC configurations.

I have been working on this functionality so please test it in the latest build 0.7.3.

OK I’ve just looked at the code and it :

  • Deletes all the clips
  • Deletes all the timelines

So clearly I’ve got some work to do there!

You can also use “Reset all lasers to default”, which should clear all the beam/canvas zones, reset all the laser settings, and add a default beam zone for each laser. Again needs testing!

Hope this helps
