FrameLathe is a Windows desktop queue. These pages describe the shipping intent door, presets, Review, error codes, and the network allowlist — not unreleased design spikes.
- Getting started
Drop files in, answer three questions, start the batch. FrameLathe runs on the GPU in your Windows PC.
- Install
FrameLathe ships as a signed Windows installer. The download link arrives with your licence email.
- Presets
Denoise, Export Ready, Remaster, Smooth 60 fps, and advanced Clean 8K. The intent door picks one from three answers about the footage.
- Remaster
Remaster is temporal 4K upscale (RealBasicVSR). It needs NVIDIA CUDA, VSR weights, and about 12 GB of VRAM.
- The queue
Drop a folder, answer three questions, let the GPU work the batch. Review takes in the morning.
- Photos
Scanned prints have their own page. Paint over creases and spots, then FrameLathe sharpens faces, makes the photo bigger and colours it if it is black and white, keeping its date.
- Review
Judge a delivered take. Wipe, Approve, Flag, Open folder. Save a before/after video. Compose stays on the queue.
- Hardware
Local GPU on Windows. Remaster needs NVIDIA CUDA. Other presets can fall back to ncnn or CPU.
- Models
Model Hub is a registry of stage slots. Upscale, Denoise, and Matting take your own weight. Colorize stays first-party.
- Troubleshooting
Preflight warnings, Remaster VRAM, denoise fallback, and Copy for support. Do not upload footage to the website.
- Error codes
Meanings for the code: line in Copy for support. Paste that text into the site assistant.
- What leaves the machine
Video is processed locally. The app’s network use is updates, licence activation, optional GPU pack, requested weights, and the Model Hub index.
- AI apps
Let an AI app such as Claude Code plan and render with FrameLathe on your PC, through FrameLathe's MCP server. Off until you turn it on; every grant and always-allow rule is yours to give and take back.
