Detect media, build the configured project structure, prevent unintended duplicates and verify every transfer before it is treated as safe.

THE MEDIA WORKFLOW ENGINE
From card to delivery. One flow.
Forge turns repetitive photo and video work into one configurable path: verified ingest and organization, native culling, editor handoff and user-directed delivery.

01 / PRODUCT
The repetitive parts become one dependable system.
Forge is built for photographers, videographers and media teams whose work repeats. A Forge Flow remembers how each project should move from source to destination without rebuilding the process every time.
Cull
Review photo and video inside Forge. Selections remain internal without changing stars, flags, labels, embedded metadata or source files.
Edit
Hand verified selections to the configured editor while Forge keeps the project, workflow and eventual destinations aligned.
Deliver
Continue the import inside one delivery session, with every Forge Flow destination available as a focused tab before release.
02 / FORGE FLOW
Set it once. Override it when the shoot changes.
Easy Setup guides the user through Ingest, Cull, Edit and Deliver, then saves the result as a portable Forge Flow. Global defaults keep routine work fast while project-level overrides keep the system fluid.
Try the live Easy Setup demoEasy Setup
Choose the project structure, culling behavior, editor handoff and delivery destinations without building a workflow graph by hand.
Project overrides
Start from trusted defaults, then change the destination, metadata, output profile or workflow step for the current project.
Portable logic
Forge Flow files describe nodes, routing and configuration, not passwords, API tokens or machine-specific secrets.
03 / LOCAL BY DEFAULT
Your workstation does the work.
Forge is a desktop application, not a media warehouse. Original files remain under your control. Connected services receive media only when the workflow and the user direct Forge to deliver it.
- 01 Copy without overwriting source or destination files
- 02 Preserve verification and recovery evidence
- 03 Store native culling decisions inside Forge
