At FORGE, we audit your pipeline, diagnose the risk, and build only the on-prem tools your finishing house actually needs.
What FORGE is
A scripted plugin does the same thing on every job. FORGE learns the exceptions that are unique to your facility — and remembers them.
FORGE is set up at your facility and shaped to your pipeline — not a one-size script, preset, or off-the-shelf AI chatbot.
Conform, relink, media management, shot logging and delivery run automatically — and escalate only what genuinely needs a human.
Every fix, naming rule and exception is documented in plain language and kept on-prem. The knowledge belongs to you, not a vendor.
The same problem never costs you twice.
How it works
FORGE maps your pipeline in detail and finds exactly where time is lost, before anything is built.
A written diagnosis of what's brokenWhat to fix, and in what order. Ranked by impact, so the first thing you change is the thing that hurts most.
A prioritised planThe way your team actually works gets encoded into the system – device names, naming rules, the logic nobody wrote down.
Your studio, learnedEvery fix is written in plain language and kept. Month 3 knows what Month 1 learned. The depth belongs to you.
A permanent recordFORGE executes – conform, relink, vision, media, delivery – and escalates only what genuinely needs a human.
The mechanical weight, liftedWhat you get
Every engagement leaves real artifacts behind — yours to keep, on your own hardware.
A plain-language report: what's broken, what to fix, what to automate — and in what order.

FORGE installed on your machine, running conform, relink, vision, media and delivery.

Context, source, naming and client — saved as a portable project you own.
Every rule and exception written down and kept. Month 3 knows what Month 1 learned.
The tools
Each owns one part of the pipeline. A fix in one becomes context for the next.
Reads project state and orchestrates the run. Nothing else acts until Session has a complete read.
Restores broken references across moves, renames and migrations — reviewed, not guessed.
Rebuilds timelines against source: right clips, right order, handles intact.
Shot logging, tagging and QC at the scale of a full ingest — without an assistant scrubbing clips.
Facility-standard structures, offload naming, transcode and checksummed verification.
Drives DaVinci Resolve and stands up an organised project from an unsorted dump.
The apps
