What FramesForge is
FramesForge is Windows software for building a filmmaking pipeline around AI-generated images and video prompts. It combines image generation, frame editing, storyboarding, and tools for preparing clips in external web-based video generators. Reference images can accompany each generation to help keep a character’s identity consistent across shots. For revisions, users can paint mask zones on a frame and make targeted edits. A storyboard canvas supports arranging shots and connecting frames into scenes and sequences.
Clip Studio creates model-specific video prompts for Kling, Seedance, Runway, Pika, and MiniMax. Transfer mode lets users drag frames into web-based video generators and paste the related prompt. Image generation and editing require a free Google AI Studio API key; AI usage is paid directly to Google. FramesForge requires Windows 10 or 11 and an internet connection for generations, but no GPU. Its free trial includes 30 generations and all features, with no credit card or time limit. The Full License costs $50, paid once and includes unlimited generations, v2.x updates, offline use after activation, and activation on up to two machines. A separate Seedance toolkit runs in a browser without an account.
