What is Genlock Studio

The local-first pre-production suite for AI filmmaking.

Genlock Studio is a desktop app for Windows and macOS that turns a story into a fully structured production on your own disk, then orchestrates any AI image/video generator from that single source of truth.

It is not a generator — it sits above them. The core idea:

  • Your story lives as open .SKEL files plus BONE prompt contracts.
  • Generators are pluggable — swap one for another by swapping a BONE; the story is untouched.
  • Nothing is uploaded. Your IP never leaves the machine.

From a script you build characters, locations, cameras, prompts, takes, audio and a timeline — then you (or an AI agent) drive any generator, review every result, and assemble the cut.
