Forge

FileFlows Forge is a companion service used by plugins and processing nodes/runners to perform advanced media tasks.

You do not usually use Forge directly. Instead, flow elements use Forge behind the scenes when they need these capabilities.

Why Use Forge

• Lets processing nodes/runners delegate specialized work to a dedicated Forge service.
• Keeps the flow-building experience the same while enabling advanced task capabilities.
• Supports scaling through your processing node/runner configuration and parallel task execution.
• Improves consistency by running specialized media tools in a controlled environment.
• Makes advanced features like subtitle generation, VMAF scoring, and audio normalization easier to use.

Available Tasks

• Audio Normalization
• Compute VMAF
• Generate Subtitles
