Text :
- Importing a file lets the user modify the resulting layer. No link with the original file will be kept. The resulting layer will not be associated with an Asset (external file representation in Friction).
- Linking file allows the user to keep the link with external file : if a modification happens, it will be reflected in Friction once the Asset is reloaded. The resulting layer will not be editable in Friction.

This video's point is to show friction's import/link abilities, not to showcase inkscape.
It is my vector graphic's software choice, but of course feel free to use any you like !
That being said, i used inkscape for a while now, and never had performance issue. Maybe all svg editors are quite resources intensive ? If you are right, I may just not used it "hard enough" with my logos and vectorizations to experience this downside !
