GlassFire Studios presents

Glasslets.

Production-grade tools for creative professionals — built by people who run live shows, cut film, and ship broadcasts, for people who do the same. 8 products are launching soon.

Launching soon

The products headed for release. Each one was built to solve a problem we hit on our own shows and edits — then hardened on real productions until we trusted it with the work.

Timecode HQ

Live

Every department, every dollar, every day — in sync.

The operating system for a production company — replacing the spreadsheet-Notion-QuickBooks juggle with one system that runs the whole lifecycle: bid → production → post → payment. Build estimates with a real margin engine, staff from a crew rolodex with offer waterfalls, run the shoot with call sheets, rundowns, and shot lists, then close the loop with time cards, expenses, invoices, and vendor ACH. It's not a demo: GlassFire Studios runs its own business on it, with hundreds of real projects and a full crew roster in production today.

  • Live in production
  • Running a real production company
  • Web + iOS
  • QuickBooks sync
  • Estimating & margin engine — tenant-configurable labor, gear, markup, contingency, and OT tiers with live blended-margin prediction
  • Bid builder grid with inline editing, OT calculator, and live revenue/margin charts
  • Production ops: call sheets, rundowns, shot lists, schedules, travel, and crew offer waterfalls
  • The money rail: time cards, expense reports, invoices, vendor bills, encrypted vendor ACH, and QuickBooks sync
  • Client-facing proposals, quotes, review rooms, and tokenized share links with PDF/DOCX export
  • Every surface is AI-drivable — an assistant can build a bid or draft an invoice through the same APIs the UI uses

Live Production

Glass Captions

Beta

Live speech translation as a broadcast-ready character generator.

Point it at a microphone and it transcribes, translates, and renders broadcast captions in near real time — full screen over black for fly-and-crop, over chroma for keyers, or straight into your switcher as NDI or DeckLink key+fill. Built for live event operators, which means latency, reliability, and operator simplicity beat features: providers fail over from cloud to offline mid-show, and a built-in key relay means users never touch an API key and venue firewalls only ever see one domain.

  • In beta — shipping builds
  • macOS + Windows
  • NDI + DeckLink key/fill
  • Cloud → offline failover
  • Two-window design: a control surface for the operator, a zero-branding output window for the feed
  • Streaming STT and translation with automatic failover — Deepgram, Azure, DeepL, Google, and offline whisper.cpp
  • NDI and DeckLink key+fill output with true alpha for OBS, vMix, and TriCaster
  • Caption render engine with rolling line buffer, readability band, and full style control
  • Over-black fly-and-crop tooling: live region readouts, anchor presets, one-click looks
  • Built-in key relay — no API keys to enter, metered by a credit balance on your account

Display Conductor

Beta

Win+P on steroids — keyboard-driven multi-monitor control from the tray.

For operators who constantly replug monitors and drive displays they can't physically see. Display Conductor lives in the Windows tray and makes multi-monitor layouts fast, scriptable, and reliable: save a layout once and it silently restores itself when hardware replugs, mirror any subset of displays, preview any output live in a window, and drive all of it from global hotkeys. Native C++ with no runtime dependencies, a signed installer, and automatic updates.

  • Signed installer + auto-update
  • $79 one-time · 14-day trial
  • Windows 10/11 x64
  • Layouts keyed to monitor identity (EDID), so save/restore survives hotplug and dock swaps — restore is automatic and silent
  • Subset mirroring: mirror exactly the displays you choose, validated before it's applied so you never lose your desktop
  • Live display previews — see any output in a window, even ones facing away from you, auto-recovering on signal loss
  • Projection-mode switching, per-display quick select, push-native-resolution, and one-click rotate
  • Global hotkeys with conflict detection; every action runs the same code path whether triggered by key or click
  • Window gathering pulls stray windows back to your main display, elevation-aware

GlassFire Animation Tools

Live

An updatable library of animation tools that lives inside After Effects.

A CEP panel hosting a growing library of expression-driven animation tools — Motion, Text, Reveal, Morph, Write-On, and Plate Builder — that share one timing model and never bake keyframes, so artists retime freely after the fact. A standalone Manager app installs and updates the whole suite from a signed feed with integrity checks, and it will never silently overwrite a tool you've modified. Resolve/Fusion templates ride along.

  • Shipping — in daily studio use
  • Six tools, each versioned
  • Self-updating from a signed feed
  • Six shipping tools, each a self-contained versioned module: Motion, Text, Reveal, Morph, Write-On, Plate Builder
  • One shared timing model — animation runs between the layer's trim edge and its marker, so retiming is just dragging
  • Everything is expression + slider driven; nothing is baked, everything stays editable
  • Reveal can split a layer into pieces by shape group, masked band, or a vision-model call — masks stay editable
  • In-panel updater with semver compare, sha256 integrity checks, and a local-edit guard
  • Tauri-based Manager app self-updates through a signed feed and installs the rest

Crystal Forge

Beta

Raw BTS photos and video → web-ready assets and posted social, in one pass.

Drop in a folder of behind-the-scenes stills (camera raw included) and video, and Crystal Forge does the whole pipeline: web-optimized AVIF/WebP/JPEG derivatives plus archival masters, AI-suggested titles, captions, and keywords written as real IPTC/XMP metadata, upload to your CDN, and back come URLs, embed code, and manifests. Then take it further — platform-native social exports with one-click OAuth posting, AI culling and carousel suggestions, duplicate detection, and a cost dashboard so you know what the AI spent.

  • Beta — releases shipping
  • Windows + macOS
  • In-app auto-update
  • Posts to 7 platforms
  • Ingests camera raw and rendered media alike, with EXIF read and raw preview fallbacks
  • Multi-format web sets (AVIF/WebP/JPEG at three sizes) plus archival masters, color-managed to sRGB
  • AI vision metadata — titles, captions, keywords — written through ExifTool as searchable IPTC/XMP; GPS stripped from web copies only
  • Video pipeline: autoplay loops, web playback, 4K YouTube/Vimeo masters, square/vertical crops, trimming
  • One-click OAuth posting to X, YouTube, Vimeo, LinkedIn, Facebook, and Instagram
  • AI culling, carousel suggestions, duplicate detection, project history, and a cost dashboard

Post-Production

Resolve Medic

Beta

Diagnoses and repairs shared DaVinci Resolve projects.

On a multi-seat, cross-platform edit fleet, three things break constantly: media goes offline, proxy references dangle, and Blackmagic Cloud uploads stall. Resolve Medic scans a shared Resolve Studio project, shows you exactly what's wrong, and fixes it — including translating paths between macOS and Windows seats so a relink done on one platform holds on the other. Installs by double-clicking; editors and assistants never see a terminal.

  • Beta — running on a real 8-seat fleet
  • macOS + Windows
  • Signed auto-updates
  • Diagnose view scans for offline media, dangling proxy references, and incomplete cloud proxy uploads
  • Cross-platform path mapping — a macOS seat correctly resolves paths written by a Windows seat and vice versa
  • Relink and proxy repair driven entirely from the UI
  • Talks to Resolve through its real scripting API via a bundled sidecar — no fragile file poking
  • Signed auto-updater with stable and dev channels
  • Every bug found in the field is now a regression test

Film Incentive Calculator screenshot

Business Tools

Film Incentive Calculator

Beta

Model any film tax incentive — and see the math.

Enter a budget in the categories states actually use, pick a jurisdiction, and get a total incentive where every number traces back to a named rule — caps, uplifts, residency splits, stacking limits, all of it. Around 30 jurisdictions are modeled as data (US states and international programs including the UK, Ireland, Canada, and Australia), so coverage grows without code changes. A monetization module estimates real net cash by credit type, and a state-organized directory connects you to the film commissions, vendors, and crew who can execute.

  • Live on the web
  • ~30 jurisdictions incl. international
  • Every number traceable
  • Rules-as-data engine: incentive programs are living data, not per-state code — complex caps-within-caps and conditional uplifts included
  • Fully traceable output — every dollar maps back to a named rule you can read
  • Budget import from PDF and XLSX, straight into the categories jurisdictions use
  • Monetization module converts gross incentive to estimated net cash by credit type
  • Financing and cap-stack modeling with document generation
  • Directory of film commissions, production companies, vendors, and freelancers by state
Sync File Advanced screenshot

Video Delivery

Sync File Advanced

In Development

Every file service you use, one dark little app.

One desktop app for all the places production files live: browse and manage Bunny CDN storage zones like a file manager, sync Google Drive folders straight to the NAS, work Dropbox alongside, publish shareable photo/video galleries, mint short links, and back up whole sites — with photo and video delivery via Bunny Stream. Replace a file at its exact path and the cache purges itself; every zone is auto-discovered from one API key; uploads stream natively with no size cap.

  • Six services, one app
  • Signed silent auto-updates
  • Drive → NAS sync built in
  • Bunny CDN: zone browser with search, new-folder, replace-at-path, and automatic cache purge on every change
  • Google Drive: paste share links and whole folders sync resumably to the NAS via bundled rclone
  • Dropbox: browse, upload, move, and pull temp links without leaving the app
  • Share: publish photo and video galleries, video delivered through Bunny Stream
  • Links: built-in shortener (go.glassfire.co) with per-link stats
  • Site Backup: pull entire sites down for safekeeping, cancellable mid-run
  • One API key auto-discovers every zone; uncapped native uploads; updates install on quit, never mid-transfer
