Filmforge is a complete, native video toolkit for Mac. Edit, enhance, repair, caption, convert, and export video in one focused workspace—with live previews and a non-destructive Processing Queue for reviewing, disabling, or removing changes before export.
TRANSFORM
• Resize: use common presets or custom dimensions
• Crop: choose standard aspect ratios or a custom frame
• Rotate: turn footage precisely
• Speed: slow down or accelerate an entire video
• Speed Ramp: create multi-segment changes in playback speed
EDIT
• Trim: select the exact section you want to keep
• Merge: combine multiple videos into one timeline
• Frame Rate: convert footage to a new FPS
• Overlay: add and position text or images
• Chroma Key: remove a selected background color and add a replacement
• Picture in Picture: place a second video over the main video
AUDIO
• Remove Audio: create a silent video
• Extract Audio: save the soundtrack separately
• Replace Audio: use another recording or music track
• Volume: adjust level and add fade-in or fade-out
COLOR & IMAGE
• Brightness: correct footage that is too dark or bright
• Color: adjust saturation and contrast
• Blur: soften the image
• Sharpen: restore detail to soft footage
• Color Grade: apply built-in presets and LUT-style looks
SMART TOOLS
• Remove Silence: detect and cut quiet sections automatically

Auto Captions can detect the spoken language automatically or transcribe English, Spanish, French, German, Italian, Portuguese, Turkish, Arabic, Persian, Russian, Ukrainian, Hindi, Japanese, Korean, and Chinese. Optional speech models are downloaded once, then run on-device.
EXPORT
• Compress: reduce file size with adjustable quality
• Convert Format: choose the container, video codec, audio codec, bitrate, color space, and hardware acceleration
• Export: render the current Processing Queue into one finished video
• Export GIF: control GIF width, frame rate, quality, and looping
• Use social-media presets and review aspect-ratio or duration warnings
BUILT FOR A SMOOTH MAC WORKFLOW
Inspect video in the timeline, preview tool settings before applying them, combine several tools, and preview the final result. Save Filmforge project files when you want to continue later. All changes remain non-destructive until export, leaving the original media untouched.
PRIVATE BY DESIGN
Your footage and processing stay on your Mac. Filmforge requires no account and includes no analytics or tracking. Your files remain yours.
Filmforge uses native Apple media technologies for responsive previews, efficient memory use, and hardware-accelerated processing—without requiring a separate FFmpeg installation.
