Get Chapterframe for Mac01The native edition
Room to make
it your own.
Mac and web are distinct editions. Here’s what the native workspace supports today.
Make the small decisions count.
Edit take text, visual direction, and render prompts. Review media on the native timeline and select the rendition that belongs in your story.
Get the frame right first.
Generate or upload keyframes with linked character and object references. Keep versions, compare ideas, and protect the frame you choose.
Your resources, in one place.
Manage compatible render servers and Vast GPU rentals. Choose a server or group, queue supported image-to-video takes, and track results.
CHOOSE THE RIGHT EDITION
The native workflow is still expanding. Automated script analysis, full audio finishing, lip-sync workflows, and joined movie export are not yet part of the native edition. The web studio has a wider workflow and is coming to public access later.

Your library, stored locally
Chapterframe for Mac uses built-in SQLite for its local library. No database server installation is needed. Choose your media folder in Settings → Engine & Storage, then click Start Engine.
Moving from an older Mac version? Open Local Library & Previous Mac Import in the app. Keep your existing media folder and library name, quit the older app, and leave its local MongoDB service running for the one-time import into an empty SQLite library. You can also import chapter ZIPs exported by the web app.
