FrameLathe

Docs

FrameLathe is a signed Windows desktop installer, not a browser tab. The marketing site does not host the payload today. When the waitlist opens, you get one launch mail with the download.

After install

  • The app processes video on this computer.
  • It checks for updates over the internet and can download them at your request.
  • Opening Model Hub loads a public model index. Downloading weights is explicit.
  • First launch offers a Hub licence filter (on by default). While it is on, the Hub will not fetch or run models whose recorded licence string looks non-commercial or is missing. You can change it later in Settings → Model Hub. Hub models keep their own licences either way.
  • The GPU add-on pack (NVIDIA / PyTorch wheels) downloads only when you request it.

None of those steps upload your files. See what leaves the machine.

Licence keys

A licence key records when your entitlement to updates ends. The app can still render without a key; the key never gates features you already paid for. Details live in the EULA.

If setup fails

  • Run the installer as a normal Windows user with permission to write the install directory.
  • GPU-pack download needs network access to the PyTorch / NVIDIA indexes — not to a FrameLathe cloud renderer.
  • Weights come from the public model host when you request them, not from git.
