FilmForge rebuilds your footage the way vintage cameras and tape actually recorded it - physically modelled, frame by frame, from your own video. Super 8, VHS, 35mm, early digital, and more on the way. No filters. No AI. No textures.
No account, no card. You only sign up to download.
Every other retro app blends a pre-recorded picture of grain and scratches over your video. The same picture, on every frame. It reads as dirt on glass in front of your footage - because that is exactly what it is.
FilmForge ships no textures at all. Every mark is computed from your own footage, so the grain boils, the frame breathes, and nothing ever repeats. Pause it anywhere and it is a different frame of film.
Drop a clip and every look in the grid re-renders using your frame, through the real engine, in about half a second. Not stock previews of somebody else's beach at sunset - your video, on each of the looks, before you commit a thing.
The Super 8 chain is measured against scans of real film - the motion, the flicker, the colour - not tuned by eye against a mood board.
Three render minutes a month, every look previewable, no card. The watermark comes off when you pay.
Paid plans include commercial rights. Your upload is deleted the moment its render finishes - we never keep your footage, share it, or use it to train AI.
FilmForge is a full film room - fine-tune every knob, build whole reels, and save the looks you love so you never dial them twice.
Splice up to 12 clips and title cards into one continuous film. The grain never resets at a cut, because it is one pass through the engine - with period-correct joins a Super 8 splice or a VHS REC cut actually made.
Grain, gate weave, halation, shutter, stock, timestamp, the melt. Real physical controls, grouped like a proper editor, not three sliders and a preset.
Name a whole look once - format, stock, every setting - and reapply it to any clip in one tap. Your signature grade, always a click away.
Line up ten renders with the same look and walk away. Come back to a finished set instead of babysitting one clip at a time.
On the app, every render drops straight into a FilmForge album - yours to keep even if you delete the app.
Re-render the same clip at different settings free for 24 hours. Experiment without watching your minutes drain.
