Artwork Progress Save

To save the progress of artwork when working with Processing, openFrameworks or any other framework, please ensure that a file "framedsave.txt" is stored in the root of your artwork folder – same location as .exe.

• Use to save progress of artwork
• Please capture the exit event or overwrite framedsave.txt whenever there are changes
• Do not save framedsave.txt on exit since exit events are not executed on FRAMED.
• Currently in development: Server side artwork progress save

Synchronisation

The artwork syncing feature is included in the shell version 2.1.10 but is disabled by default. The feature is enabled by turning on an internal flag (for any specific device), which will be made external when this feature is ready to be public.

For all the devices under the same user account with the artwork syncing feature enabled, the one with the "smallest" name will be the "master" device and the others will be the "slave" devices.

When multiple devices play video artworks at the same time, all the slave devices will sync with the "timing" of the video played by the master device automatically. The devices without "syncing flag" under the same account will not sync. If the lengths of the videos are different, they will still try to sync with the "master" video in some applicable way. The videos played by the devices can be the same or can be different and they will try to sync anyway.

This feature is currently for demonstration purposes and requires further development.
