    About these dates · Design and planning began offline around August 2025. The platform itself came alive on 10 December 2025 — first commit, first database, and the domain registered a day later. Entries dated before that describe that earlier planning work rather than a shipping event, and their dates were written from memory afterwards, so they are estimates. They are marked Planning phase and excluded from the date range above. We have kept them rather than quietly deleting them.

    Shoot on the Bench: the set you staged becomes a finished film, and every Bench job now runs under a Call Sheet you can read and stop

    A new door in CineForge's header, beside Techvis: Shoot on the Bench. It reads the set the way a 1st AD would — every saved angle and walked move becomes a numbered shot with its lens, height, distance, tilt and track; the scene's art style, lighting and placed sun become the look line; the production's locked cast travel as references the crew must hold; the newest forged still goes along as the look — and hands that brief to the Bench, which renders the shots in order, composes the music, adds foley, cuts and delivers one MP4. A confirm quotes the ceiling before anything is spent; the film lands on the Infinitum board and files itself as a Director take, so it is in the production whether or not anyone is watching the board. And every Bench job, film or fix, now carries a Call Sheet in the agent dock: the plan it wrote, the last steps it took with their engines and timings, the questions it was asked and how they were answered inside your money, the credits held, the share spent so far and what came back — with a Stop on the job itself. Stop in the composer stops the Bench too.

    Feature

    Craft: say what is wrong with a frame or a clip and the Bench fixes it, showing every step it took and charging only for the work done

    Select a frame or a clip in Infinitum and say the one thing you want changed — take the wrinkles off her forehead, remove the reflection in the window, make it 21:9 without cropping him, clean the boom shadow out of the whole clip. If no narrower verb covers the sentence, it goes to the Bench: a finishing agent that plans the steps, composites frame by frame where a composite is the honest answer, reaches for a model only where one is needed, repairs its own failures, and lands the result as cards beside the source. Craft is priced as a ceiling named on its face (30 credits on a frame, 120 on a clip); when the job stops you are charged only for the work done and the rest comes back, and a job that makes nothing costs nothing. Every result carries its work log under How this was made: each step, the engine where one was used, the time, and the credits charged, settled and refunded. A third door makes a whole film: brief the Bench like a crew — story, length, ratio, tone, the selected images as cast and look — and it writes the shot list, renders the shots, composes the music, adds foley, cuts and delivers one MP4, answering its own questions inside the money you agreed to and continuing until the film is finished, for up to 900 credits settled to the work done. A job keeps going if you close the tab; reopening the board picks it up where it was. If the Bench needs a decision outside that money, it stops, refunds the unspent part, and puts its question on the card.

    Recast a finished Director take

    Open a finished take of 5 to 30 seconds, choose Recast this take, and pick one to four of the production's locked characters in left to right order. The take keeps its motion, camera, timing and sound while the new cast steps in. Choose Standard or Full HD and an optional realism pass; the price shows before you press. The recast lands as a new take linked to the original, which stays untouched.

    Infinitum flies to each new render

    The new film follows Zócalo Nocturno with its supplied story, poster, clean landscape and transparent title logo. Its quick-start streaming version keeps the original picture size and frame rate while nearly halving the download size. Earlier films and Studio publication precedence are preserved.

    PREVIZ TV Studio verifies large films one at a time, and nine Cinema films now stream lighter

    Verifying several full films in one press ran out of room and failed. Studio now verifies each selected file in turn and merges the results. Drafts may also come from the platform's own storage, so the nine streaming-friendly Cinema renditions were imported, approved and made live; each original stays one Roll back press away.

    Performance

    PREVIZ TV films can arrive as broadcast renditions: a master re-encoded to a quarter of its weight at the same picture, delivered through Studio as a new revision the master stays behind

    The nine Studio titles play from their masters — thirteen to sixteen megabits a second, three to four times what a living-room connection carries steadily — which is why a film on LIVE TV could stall on a slower line even after the player stopped jumping a stalled picture forward. The remedy is editorial, not a player trick: a broadcast rendition of each master, encoded slowly at a quality score that reads as the same picture (a mean of about ninety-six on the standard perceptual scale, against a hundred for the master itself) at four to five megabits a second, with the key frames every two seconds that a live join needs and the index at the front of the file so playback starts before the download does. Studio's import now accepts a film hosted in PREVIZ's own storage beside the engine's hosts, read from the deployment itself and never typed into a delivery, so a rendition goes through the same checks as any delivered film — size, fingerprint, duration against the declared runtime, dimensions, codecs — and lands as a draft revision of the title it replaces. The master is kept; approving and activating the rendition is a press in Studio, and rolling back is the same press the other way.

    LIVE TV on a slow connection: a film that started plays to its end, a stalled picture is never jumped forward, and the next programme is fetched before the cut

    On a connection the film outruns, the live channel's clock used to pull a stalled picture forward to the broadcast position — into video it had not received — so it stalled again, was pulled again, and read as a channel that would not play; and at the scheduled cut it loaded the next programme wherever the picture was, so a film never finished. Now the clock decides from the picture's own health: a film that is still playing when the schedule moves on is kept to its last frame, with the viewer marked time-shifted and LIVE one press away, and the channel is rejoined where it is when the film ends. Drift is corrected only on a picture that has been playing steadily with data in hand, never within five seconds of a stall, and only past eight seconds; a viewer who fell behind through a stall is time-shifted rather than jumped. A second, silent loader fetches the next programme's first seconds from twenty seconds before each cut so the cut starts warm — never under Data Saver, and never a second audible picture. A stall of more than a moment says "Buffering…" in the quiet notice under the picture, and after twelve seconds says the connection is slow for this film and that it will keep going; nothing floats over the picture. Also closed: a cinema intermission tuned the film after next for five seconds and loaded the right one cold at the cut, and a position the schedule could not compute reached the player as a thrown error nine times in a week — every seek now refuses a value it cannot use.

    Keyframe's Image to 3D shows its full set of actions once the model is ready

    The finished model's viewer was drawn over the whole panel, hiding the action bar underneath it. The viewer now sits in its own frame, and a completed model offers every option in a row below it: download the model (.glb), download the preview image, copy the model link, send it to CineForge, or start over. The source shot stays untouched.

    PREVIZ TV players stop crashing on iPhones and live streams, and an access refusal no longer asks you to upgrade

    A week of production errors, read cause by cause. On iPhones, going fullscreen before a film had loaded threw an error; fullscreen now waits for the film to be ready. A seek computed while a stream's length was still unknown threw too; it is now skipped until the length is known, and the film plays from where it is. And when a request was refused because a project wasn't shared with you or no longer existed, the message said to upgrade your plan to unlock a feature — every plan has every feature, so it now says what actually happened and where to go instead.

    An engine outage no longer tells you you're out of credits

    When one of the engines behind PREVIZ refused a request because of our own account with that engine, eleven tools passed the refusal on as if it were your balance — so a funded account could be shown the out-of-credits screen, or 'at capacity' for the same cause in another room. Every one of them now refunds the request and says plainly that the engine is unavailable and nothing was charged; your credits are only ever mentioned when your credits are the reason. Infinitum's agent also now hands a turn to its backup engine when the first one refuses, instead of stopping. A new check holds the rule over every server function.

    Every guide, glossary term and technique page now shares with a card that names it

    Until today every public page went out with the same picture when it was shared, pasted into a chat or cited by a search assistant, so a link to a guide on shot lists looked exactly like a link to the pricing page. The eighteen Learn guides, the eleven glossary term pages and the fifty-three technique pages each carry their own title card now: the page's own headline set in up to two lines on a flat dark ground, under the PREVIZ iris, with the section it belongs to above and the address below, at the size every preview surface asks for. The cards are drawn from the same titles the pages render, never retyped, so a renamed page cannot keep an old card without a guard saying so; each one is a few kilobytes, so a preview loads before the link is tapped; and the picture's description and its declared size travel with it in the page's head. A guard holds all of it on every build: every card present, exactly the declared size, complete, under its byte cap, current to the page's title, and every built page pointing at its own card and no other page's.

    The pricing page now says, in plain words, what quality every plan reaches

    A visitor read the pricing page and concluded the platform renders 720p only, which no plan does. The plans band now carries one plain block, and a new question sits in the FAQ: video renders in HD, Full HD and 4K, masters to 8K in the Upscale studio, and stills render and upscale to a 12K Master. Higher resolutions spend more credits; no plan is locked out of any of them. The same line sits above the plans shown behind the qualifying form.

    The public site, readable by answer engines and agents: every answer-engine crawler allowed by name, the full text in one file, a markdown twin of every content page, and a connector manifest

    PREVIZ wants to be found and quoted wherever people now ask their questions, so the public site is now addressed to the readers that are not browsers. robots.txt names the twenty crawlers and fetchers the answer engines and model makers run, one by one, and allows each of them, training and search alike, with the same single exclusion the site has always had. The agent-readable index links a new full-text file that carries every public page as clean text in one place, key pages first, generated from the same render the site serves so it can never say something the page does not. Every content page, from the product and pricing pages to each guide, glossary term, technique and research paper, also ships a markdown twin at the same address with .md appended, announced in the page's own head, so a tool that wants the words without the layout gets them in a tenth of the bytes. A small manifest at the standard well-known address describes the connector agents can hold: the one endpoint, how it authenticates, where it is documented, and that it needs a PREVIZ account; no key or code appears anywhere. A guard holds all of it: every crawler block complete, the full text present and large enough to be the site, every twin starting with its page's own title, the manifest naming the one real endpoint.

    Every guide, glossary term and technique page now opens with the answer, says when it was updated, and describes itself to answer engines

    The pages people reach from a search assistant or an overview now read the way those readers quote: the first paragraph under every heading on the twelve Learn guides, the eleven glossary term pages, the fifty-three technique pages and the three index pages is a direct 40–60 word answer to the question the page is for — a definition for a term, what a move does to the frame for a technique, the plain answer for a guide — written as prose, before the standfirst. Each guide and technique page prints when it was published and last updated and that the PREVIZ team wrote it, from the same dates its structured data carries, so the line and the markup cannot disagree. The nine guides that walk a workflow step by step emit that walk-through as a HowTo from the same list the page renders; every learn and glossary page names its answer and heading as the parts an assistant should read aloud; the home page and the product page describe the application with the self-serve plan prices as offers, derived from the pricing record and never typed, with no invented rating. The organisation's record now names the two profiles the site already links and the production house it belongs to. A guard reads the built pages and fails one whose first block is not the answer, whose answer is outside the band, whose dates run backwards, whose steps are not on the page, whose read-aloud selectors resolve to nothing, or whose offers lack a price and currency.
