‌Resetting Your Preferences

The Edit/Reset Preferences item resets all preferences to the factory values.

You can reset groups of settings, or individual settings, using the Workflow Presets Manager to copy from the /Built-in area to the corresponding section of /User. You can reset just the colors by shift-right-clicking the color swatch on the Preferences panel.

If your machine crashes at an inopportune time, or suffers from some other problem, you might manage to corrupt the preferences file, resulting in SynthEyes crashing at startup. To manually clear the preferences, delete the following file, where yyyy is the year of your SynthEyes version:

Windows: C:\Users\YourNameHere\AppData\Local\BorisFX\SynthEyes yyyy\user_presets.json

macOS: /Users/YourNameHere/Library/Application Support/BorisFX/SynthEyes yyyy/user_presets.json

Linux: ~/.config/BorisFX/SynthEyesYYYY/user_presets.json

Note: these files and locations are different than versions before SynthEyes

2025.
