File Types

SyncFrame's specific file types

SyncFrame defines 3 file types to simplify the interaction with the application:

Extension Description
.syncframe The SyncFrame Project File is the main file that you will find in the SyncFrame's application directory. It consists of a directory package that contains your configuration file and your media. On Apple's platforms this will look like a single file, but on Android it will be a directory since we can't define a directory package on this platform. However, please keep the .syncframe extension when you meet one.
.syncframez The SyncFrame Project Archive is a file that encapsulates a SyncFrame Project File in an archive. This is in order to simplify the sharing of your projects between different platforms and to prevent problems. Therefore, it is the recommended way of sharing to other devices.
.sfconfig The SyncFrame Configuration File is the file that holds your configuration data. It is a simple JSON file, but linked to SyncFrame in order to make it possible to open the Project File on a platform that doesn't allow the directory package file type.

Supported Media Formats

Apple's Platforms

On the Apple platforms, the video player uses the native video playback manager (AVPlayer). This means that if your video work on Apple's native applications, then it should also work with SyncFrame.

The supported media formats are specific to your device model/generation and we recommend to test your files before using them in a live situation.

Android

On Android, the video player uses the media player ExoPlayer. You can find a list of supported media formats at this address: https://exoplayer.dev/supported-formats.html
