Video assembly
LoFi Forge creates long-form videos from still images or short video scenes, music, optional ambience, and export settings.
LoFi Creator Tools
Desktop systems for long-form LoFi production.
This build family includes LoFi Forge for assembling long-duration videos and LoFi Stamp for branding, SEO metadata, and YouTube publishing workflows.
The Problem: long-form LoFi output has many repeatable production steps.
Branding pass
LoFi Stamp brands finished videos with PNG watermark overlays and optional CTA text through FFmpeg.
Publishing flow
LoFi Stamp docs define a planned YouTube OAuth upload flow with metadata, thumbnails, and Studio links.
The Current Build
LoFi Forge
Electron, React, Vite, TypeScript, FFmpeg CLI, `.lofi.json` project files, queue exports, scene motion, audio mixing, and Windows packaging.
LoFi Stamp
Electron desktop MVP with bundled FFmpeg support, watermark/CTA overlays, H.264 export, logs, presets, OpenAI SEO, and Google OAuth hooks.
Known gap
LoFi Forge memory notes say the editable renderer source is missing in that snapshot, while main/export/queue code remains workable.
Development Timeline
Assemble
Create/open projects, import scenes, configure motion and duration, add music and ambience.
Export
Run staged FFmpeg exports: preflight, render scenes, build audio, mix, mux, verify output.
Brand
Apply watermark and CTA overlays with LoFi Stamp, using deterministic presets where possible.
Publish
Move toward YouTube OAuth upload with title, description, tags, privacy, thumbnail, and success links.
