ONE FAMILY, TWO LANES

Use the tool that matches the bottleneck.

They share the same queue-first workflow and visual language, but each stays focused on one job.

Video conversion

VidForge

Turn AV1 and other delivery formats into dependable editorial media.

  • H.264, HEVC, ProRes 422, 422 HQ, and 4444 output
  • Match source size, choose a balanced target, or prioritize quality
  • Apple media engine acceleration with software fallback
  • AAC, source-audio copy, or 24-bit PCM for ProRes workflows
  • Reorder, cancel, clear, and re-queue batch jobs

THE WORKFLOW

Drop, choose, convert.

No project setup, cloud account, or media upload.

01

Add files or a folder

Drag in individual media, make a multiple selection, or queue an entire folder tree.

02

Choose the useful format

Pick an editorial codec in VidForge or a broadly compatible audio format in OpusForge.

03

Let the queue run

Track every file, cancel when needed, and find converted media in the destination you chose.

AT A GLANCE

Related, deliberately separate.

Two small apps instead of one overloaded converter.

One requirement: both apps use FFmpeg. Install it once with Homebrew by opening Terminal and running brew install ffmpeg. After that, both apps detect it automatically.
