// how it works

How it works

  1. Pick your task

    Generation, editing, conversion, or capture — match the tool to the job; most of these do one stage brilliantly.

  2. Install it

    Desktop builds, Docker images, and package-manager installs cover every major OS.

  3. Feed it media

    Drop in clips, images, or audio; AI tools may need a model download on first run.

  4. Export and share

    Render to standard formats (MP4, WebM, GIF) ready for any platform.

// features

Why people love it

Command-line friendly

Scriptable from the terminal, so it drops straight into existing workflows.

AI generation

Text-to-video and image-to-video models turn prompts into motion.

Format freedom

FFmpeg-grade codec support handles whatever you throw at it.

Runs locally

Your footage never uploads anywhere; render on your own GPU.

No watermarks

Exports are clean — what you make is yours, with no branding tax.

Open formats

Standard containers and codecs — no lock-in, no proprietary projects.
