Made with ForgeStudio

Judge the output first.

Each finished video, with its brief and production record.

A product demo for Super Desktop, a desktop app by gladimdim.

SUPER DESKTOP — product demo

Production brief

“Make an amazing demo video matched to the flow of the music. Explain the features in big, beautiful text, make it fun and flashy, and finish with a subtle Greyforge Labs signature.”

The result

A full-song Super Desktop showcase: animated features, faithful interface recreations and real screenshots, timed to the music.

ZJX 1.29 REDLINE launch trailer

Production brief

“Make a 35-second landscape launch trailer for ZJX 1.29. Music-led, no narration. Introduce ultrafast, four-worker packing and verification, deterministic output, operation receipts and 1.28 reader compatibility. Use the generated motion input and the original score, and end on ‘Ultrafast. Verified.’”

The result

Six timed scenes, SRT titles, the score under a limiter. 1,050 frames. The agent's build script made the motion input; ForgeStudio did timing, audio, titles, render and verify.

Sley: the opening 75 seconds

Production brief

“Cut the first 75 seconds of the Sley Introduction as a standalone explainer. Two scenes, split where the argument turns. Keep the narration as recorded, import the caption file and burn the captions in.”

The result

Two scenes trimmed from a 12-minute master, one narration track, 18 burned-in caption cues. 2,247 frames, verified against the input hashes.

Narrated ZJX GUI walkthrough

Production brief

“Take the 11-second ZJX Archive screen recording, lay my voice-over on top starting just after the first frame, put the music bed underneath at a low level and duck it under the voice. Landscape, full-frame, no cuts.”

The result

One recording, one voice cue at 0.6 s, one music bed ducked to −24 dB. Three inputs hash-pinned at init. Nothing added.

The starter recipe, untouched

Production brief

“Start a portrait demo from the bundled template: a title card, a short terminal walkthrough, and a bar chart from three data points. Do not restyle anything.”

The result

Three native scenes, no external media, eleven seconds. The floor a first render starts from.

BLACK PRISM — the full music video

Production brief

“A single black geometric object journeys through an indifferent universe. Space. Time. Mathematics. Compression. Build the universe around the song.”

The result

8,476 frames over the full 353-second recording. One visibility parameter removed the closing meteors; everything else is the accepted V5. Accepted as final at 9/10.

Built for AI agents

Brief your agent. Keep control.

The agent writes the recipe. ForgeStudio renders it. You review the finished video.

  1. Prompt

    You say what the video is.

  2. Recipe

    Your agent writes the JSON production: scenes, media, timing, audio, captions.

  3. Validate

    Schema, media, timing, text fit and layout, before any frame is encoded.

  4. Render

    Local FFmpeg. Same inputs, same video.

  5. QC

    Frame, audio and duration checks. A receipt with every hash.

  6. MP4

    H.264/AAC. Portrait, landscape or square.

A real request

“Make a 45-second landscape demo of this feature. Use recording.mp4, start at 12 seconds, explain these three steps, add captions and narration, and finish with the product name.”

forgestudio studio init demo.json --video recording.mp4 --start 12 --format landscape --narration voice.wav
forgestudio studio validate demo.json --preset demo
forgestudio studio render demo.json --output demo-render --preset demo
forgestudio studio verify demo-render --inputs

Works with the agent you already use.

Use the CLI or MCP with your agent, and the local workbench for hands-on edits.

  • Claude Code
  • Codex
  • Gemini CLI
  • OpenCode
  • and similar CLI agents

Your agent needs local command access.

What v1.3.0 handles

  • Studio v1 recipes: up to 120 scenes and five minutes, 12 to 60 fps, inputs up to 8K. Project v2 uses separate documented profiles.
  • Studio v1 keeps its house style; project v2 supports brand settings and persistent text branding.
  • Captions from your SRT files, burned in or exported as SRT and WebVTT.
  • Bar and line charts from CSV or JSON. Audio from your local files.
  • Use the CLI or local browser workbench. Optional integrations need their documented dependencies; cloud adapters remain live-unqualified.
First local demo, four commands
forgestudio studio init demo.json --format portrait
forgestudio studio validate demo.json --preset short-preview
forgestudio studio render demo.json --output demo-render --preset short-preview
