Silhouette projects are generally compatible between the Silhouette Standalone application and the Silhouette plug-in, and projects can be opened in either environment. However, there are some limitations and adjustments required when moving projects between the two.
Project compatibility between Silhouette Standalone and plug-in
Silhouette Standalone and plug-in projects are interchangeable, allowing users to move work between the standalone application and host-based workflows.
This means:
Projects created in the Silhouette plug-in can be opened in Silhouette Standalone
Projects created in Silhouette Standalone can be used in the Silhouette plug-in
Source reconnection in Silhouette projects
Silhouette plug-in projects opened in Standalone may require media to be relinked.
This means:
Source files may need to be manually reconnected
File paths from the host application may not carry over to Standalone
OCIO color management considerations in Silhouette
Silhouette projects using OpenColorIO (OCIO) may require adjustments when moving between environments.
This happens because:
Some host applications apply color space conversions
The OCIO color space settings may differ between the plug-in and Standalone
As a result:
OCIO settings may need to be reviewed and adjusted
Visual output may differ until color management is aligned
Summary of Silhouette project compatibility limitations
Silhouette project compatibility is supported with the following considerations:
Projects are interchangeable between Standalone and plug-in
Source media may need to be reconnected
OCIO color settings may require adjustment
These limitations should be accounted for when moving Silhouette projects between different environments.
