CineFold Desktop — Your AI film studio. One app.

Yes. Download CineFold and edit without a license: cut and arrange clips, detach audio, change speed, basic audio and plain text, the first 2 text styles and LUTs, the first 8 stickers and 2 templates, crossfade and fade to black, Ken Burns zoom in / out, track roles and basic noise removal. Free exports go up to 720p with a watermark. You can try Pro tools in the preview; exporting them, 1080p/4K without watermark and the AI features need a one-time license.

Yes — in Image Builder, with your own free Cloudflare account. 1) Sign in at dash.cloudflare.com (free account) and click the Search bar. 2) Type “api tokens” and click “Account API tokens”. 3) Click “Create Token”. 4) Name it (e.g. “CineFold”), click “View all templates” and choose “Workers AI”. 5) Click “Review token”, then “Create Token”. 6) Copy the Account ID and the API Token (it's shown only once) and keep them private. 7) In CineFold: Settings → API Center → Cloudflare Workers AI → paste both → Save → Test. Or follow the in-app “Start free” guide. Then pick FLUX.2 klein 4B (about 90 images a day) or Flux Schnell (about 170). Free images have a small watermark and are up to 1024 px; Pro removes it. The daily amount comes from Cloudflare's free allowance and may change.

Use the Prompt Builder (cards, no AI), free AI images in Image Builder with your own free Cloudflare account (up to 1024 px, watermarked), the editor (720p export with a watermark), your library, projects, settings and the API Center, and connect and test ComfyUI / Ollama. Each Pro audio and subtitle tool and the AI Editor can be tried once on 30 seconds. Other image models, video, music or voice, the CHARACTER page, Studio, the Assistant and local generation need a license.

Everything Pro: AI generation in every builder, Studio and the Assistant, the AI Editor, 1080p/4K export without watermark, every editor tool, the full audio studio and cinema mix, auto subtitles, generate from frame and local generation. It's a one-time payment of $149 — no subscription — for 2 devices, with all 1.x updates free, on Mac and Windows.

No. AI generation uses your own provider API keys (fal, Google, Anthropic, ElevenLabs…), and providers bill you directly for usage — it's not included in the license. Local features run on your computer with no API cost.

CineFold charges nothing per use. The AI Editor runs on your own Claude, Gemini or OpenAI key, so the provider bills you, and CineFold shows an estimated cost and a limit before every run. The AI Editor itself is a Pro feature (1 free trial on a project up to 30 seconds).

It runs on your computer and splits a song into vocals + music, or vocals / drums / bass / (piano) / other, in seconds. In the editor each part lands on its own track; in Audio Studio the parts are saved to your Library as WAV. It's a Pro feature you can try once on 30 seconds.

Give your audio tracks a role — Dialogue, Music, Effects, Ambience (free). With Pro, CineFold processes each role, applies a Cinema / YouTube / Podcast / Social master preset with measured loudness and a peak limit, lets you compare before / after and exports stems (Dialogue / Music / Effects / Ambience + full mix WAV).

Yes, with Pro: “Generate audio from video” makes foley, ambience or ASMR from the picture of a clip or a selected range, using your own fal.ai or WaveSpeedAI key. Compare 1–4 variations, then replace the original audio or mix it in.

Connecting and testing them is free. Connect your local ComfyUI / Ollama — local generation runs on your computer with no API cost (Pro license).

No. Your projects and media stay on your computer. When you use the AI Editor, only the clips you choose are sent — with your approval — to the provider you selected, under that provider's terms. CineFold's servers never receive your media.

Only if you allow it — anonymous usage statistics and error reports are off by default, and they never include your prompts, media, file names or API keys. Turn them off, reset the install ID or use “Delete my data” in Settings → Privacy.

CineFold updates itself — accept the update when the app offers it, or download 1.1 from this page. Your license stays active and all 1.x updates are free.

No — only one code can be used per checkout.

An API key is a personal password that lets CineFold use your account at an AI provider. Create an account with the provider, add credit, generate a key on their key page and paste it into CineFold's settings. You pay the provider directly for what you generate — CineFold never charges you for usage. Your API keys are stored encrypted on your computer and sent only to the provider you choose — we never see them.

While you're online, your license is checked quietly in the background once a day. If your connection drops, you get about 30 days of full use from the last check, then a 14-day grace period. The Prompt Builder and local models (ComfyUI/Ollama) work offline; signing in, first activation, model downloads and cloud providers need an internet connection.

One license works on up to 2 of your computers — for example a Mac and a Windows PC. You can deactivate a computer from your account page at any time to free up a slot.

Full refund within 14 days of purchase, for any reason — just email support@cinefold.ai. Once the refund is processed, the license is canceled.

Yes — all 1.x updates are free for life. A future 2.0 may be offered as a paid upgrade; your 1.x version keeps working.

macOS 12 or later (Apple Silicon or Intel) or Windows 10 or later (64-bit), with at least 8 GB of RAM. For Local Mode: 16 GB+ RAM on Apple Silicon, or an NVIDIA GPU with 8 GB+ VRAM, plus 5–20 GB of free disk space per model.
