I mean its being trivialized as made by AI. But for example photoshop and the entire behaviour and all its little patterns and use cases had to be presented to the AI flawlessly for it to come up with the clone. It looks like a very big and complicated task. I wonder how the devs did it in such a short time

I am very new to this now that ArtEffect is free I am just wondering if I can watch AfterEffect tutorials and do it in ArtEffects?

Using pdfcraft giving me hope for the future of software, really.

Never thought of the day where my old pc perform better with this app than my new pc with adobe acrobat and other pdf viewer.

That snappiness give me goosebumps.

Using this app really relieve my eyes from the lag of almost every app in these day (looking at you, electron based apps).

Thank you artcraft.

schade dass die verlaufsumsetzung noch nicht fertig ist. diese im modus luminanz = max brillanz, the final one!

why my klauncher do not have fig craft

I wanted to do a proper project level test. I spent just an hour. I brought in a video, made some edits, unlinked the audio from it. Imported new audio and synced it all. Did a few test renders with different compressions then chose one for a final export. It came out great, but it was a super simple one. Windows 10.

I really want to keep an eye on this subreddit, but it feels like half the posts are just people requesting software in a very "Dance, monkey!" sort of way.

I'm much more interested in keeping tabs on what the developer is doing with the current set of apps that are already being developed.

These are the very early stages of this type of thing, and it's wild that everyone is asking for more, more, more. Chill out.

Let the developer cook. Be patient. Yes, the future is now, but it's not right now right now.

Hi guy, firt time trying this apps, i never used Adobe stuff, i just got my attention this open source project and giving it a shot to learn Photoshop and editing l, but first time trying PhotoCraft, I'm facing this problem

I use Claude Code / Codex daily and wanted them to do real work in ArtCraft — batch-editing PSDs, generating decks, that kind of thing. The problem was the agent doesn't know what each app can actually do. It would either refuse ("I can't edit PSD files") or confidently invent CLI flags that don't exist.

So I went through each of the 13 apps and documented:

• what the automation surface really is (headless CLI, MCP server, the localhost JSON control channel)
• what works today and what's still broken/missing — this part was the most tedious but also the most useful, it's the difference between the agent spending 2 minutes vs 40 minutes stuck in retry loops
• the correct way to call things, verified against actual app behavior, not just the docs

It's all plain SKILL.md files (the agentskills.io format), so any agent that reads files can use them. One install script per target: install.sh for Codex/ZCode/Devin, --claude for Claude Code, --opencode for OpenCode, install.ps1 on Windows.

Yo! im trying to edit youtube videos but i have like 20 presets on adobe..., the issue is y adobe is not loading anymore and its just crashing 20$ a month for a software that has not been working for 3 days (4 mins into editing itll just crash idk) i want to make the shift from adobe to FilmCraft but im wondering if anybody know if film craft can use the same Plugins/ presets. ( mainly looking for the presets)

Hi, i'm trying to get into indie animation and for a joke, i want a character to shatter into glass. I was told Effect Craft can help. Where on here is the effect if there is one. I'm just clicking around and can't find it.

If we have the whole *craft suite, a vibecoded implementation so easily. It occurs to me corporations are most certainly doing a vubecoded clean room imolementation for OSS projects with like an AGPL license and stuff and not adding credits. They have the source. Its not hard to make a clean room implementation. Its the area AI is exactly good at. Its super easy, super fast for them.

If I'm being stupid and everyone already knows this, just disregard this.

Look at this beautiful launcher:

Was ready to jump into video editing in Filmcraft and couldn't find how to add a logo or watermark layer. Thinking there needs to be a video > logo option for adding layers of this type. Thoughts?

{feature recommendation? Yes, there appear to be a couple of ways to do this. Thinking it should be a dropdown option in the video menu}

From PhotoCraft to SoundCraft: what each app does, where it already works, where it still falls short, and what Alpha means for your professional workflow.

I mostly work in Adobe Illustrator with a second screen to spread out all the windows so I can see everything. Upon opening VectorCraft to give it a go, I immediately noticed it was locked to one screen. It didn't occur to me then, but is there a setting to change that?

I've been working on a shared Ask Agent module for the Craft apps. These are four proposed integrations, not released features.

Select some text, cells or shapes, write an instruction, and your existing agent edits the file. You can follow up in the same thread, keep the result or undo the request. If several agents are connected, you pick one.

The bit I wanted was to keep using my own session and setup. Claude Code, Codex, another harness or provider: the app doesn't call a model or store an API key. The agent needs to be connected to the app's MCP/control interface.

That also means one session can work across apps without starting a new conversation each time. Figures from GridCraft, a summary in WordCraft, then a slide in DeckCraft. If the graphics apps adopt the module, I'd like the same flow for a FilmCraft clip with audio cleaned up in SoundCraft, or a frame edited in PhotoCraft and used in a slide. Those graphics integrations aren't implemented here.

The Actions menu offers a few starting prompts, all editable before you send:

• WordCraft: shorten, fix grammar, rewrite the tone, translate or summarize.
• GridCraft: clean cells, create or explain formulas, summarize, format a table or highlight outliers.
• DeckCraft: rewrite, make bullets, align shapes, match styling or draft speaker notes.
• PdfCraft: summarize, explain, highlight, add review notes, prepare form fields or mark text for redaction. Signing and applying redactions stay manual.

Reviewing what it did

The Conversation section shows earlier requests and replies while you work. After Keep, the app keeps the request and answer in its comments or notes. That is the conversation trail, not a document-version browser.

• The target is held while the agent works, to avoid competing edits.
• Its answer stays in the file as an agent-named comment or note; the exact review UI depends on the app.
• Follow-ups stay in the request thread and undo group. Keep and Undo are human controls.
• The connection that claims the request owns it; other connections cannot take over its edits.

The shared part

The main proposal is craft-ask-agent in craft-libs: a shared request queue, ownership rules and optional egui bubble. WordCraft, GridCraft, DeckCraft and PdfCraft are the first four examples. Each app supplies its own document operations. The actions, UI and behaviour are proposals too, so they can be adapted rather than copied everywhere.

PRs: Shared module · WordCraft · GridCraft · DeckCraft · PdfCraft · PDF MCP bridge

Still a work in progress. Feedback on the flow or the shared/app-specific split would help.

Thanks in advance

On Linux - as far as I could find - and shockingly - there was NO proper PDF app which could sign documents like a normal human does (drawing their signature on a trackpad and stamping it on)

Okular had an inanely complex certificate signature system and annotating system which didnt do it, the gnome document reader didnt have it until a recent alpha and beta version which still hasn't launched widely, and the best solution was Firefox which did it but being a web browser only had that and basic annotation and no page editing, content editing, compression, reordering or such.

Instantly, the second it launched, PDF Craft was the very best pdf editor and signing tool on entirety of Linux. I think some paid options existed but they seemed weirlg licensed and clunky. NOTHING was acrobat classed anf in fact using adobes cloud service was only realistic option for Linux (or maybe self hosted nextcloud which wasn't offline either)

Out of all your apps, PDF Craft for me, is a special one for that reason

I hope while it isn't as sexy as Photocraft is in concept it still gets a bright future!

I know you guys are very busy, but hopefully you can find time to document your experiences. From a historical perspective I think this is a project that people will want to study in the future. From a technological perspective I think people will want to how well the tools you chose worked. What decisions you made, both successes, and regrets. From a sociological perspective how well your team worked.
Perhaps a podcast, blog, etcetera.

Just Saying
