What's new in 1.0.3

  • A setup that stops part way repairs itself. If setup's window was closed (or Ctrl+C was pressed) while it was
    making ReelForge's Python environment, every later open crashed with "No module named 'rich'", and running setup
    again didn't help. Now ReelForge notices, makes that environment again and carries on with setup.
  • The one-line install works with a short user folder name (such as C:\Users\JOHNSM~1), which used to stop it
    before setup.

Already have ReelForge? Open Updates (reelforge 6) and click Update and restart.

ReelForge lets Claude Code or Codex make faceless short videos for TikTok, YouTube Shorts, Instagram Reels and X,
then shows you how each one does once you've posted it. Nothing is ever posted for you.

Download

Your computer Download Then
Windows 10 / 11 install.ps1 Open PowerShell, paste irm https://github.com/dan2756/ReelForge/releases/latest/download/install.ps1 | iex and press Enter. It downloads ReelForge straight from GitHub into your user folder, checks it and starts setup, so neither the browser nor Windows warns about it.
Windows, installer ReelForge-…-Windows-Setup.exe Run it (if Windows says "Windows protected your PC", click More info, then Run anyway: the installer isn't code-signed). It installs into your user folder, adds the reelforge command and a desktop icon, and starts setup.
Windows, no installer ReelForge-…-Windows.zip Unzip it to a short path (e.g. C:\Users\you\ReelForge) and double-click setup.bat.
macOS (experimental) ReelForge-…-macOS.zip Unzip it, right-click Set up ReelForge.command, choose Open. Needs Python 3.11+ and ffmpeg (brew install python@3.13 ffmpeg).
Linux (experimental) ReelForge-…-Linux.tar.gz Extract it and run ./setup.sh. Needs Python 3.11+ and ffmpeg.
Developers Source code (zip / tar.gz) Same files; run setup.bat or ./setup.sh.

Setup shows what ReelForge still needs (Blender 4.5 LTS, ffmpeg on Windows, the sound effects, the reelforge
command), sets it all up inside the ReelForge folder once you say yes, then starts the onboarding interview.
You'll need Claude Code (a paid Claude plan or an API account) or Codex, a recent NVIDIA or AMD graphics card, and
about 15 GB of free disk space. SHA256SUMS.txt lists every download's checksum.

Then

  1. Open the ReelForge folder in Claude Code (the Claude desktop app's Code tab, then Open folder…), or run
    codex in it.
  2. Say "make my first video" (with Claude's ultracode: "ultracode: make my first video").
  3. Type reelforge 4 in a terminal (or double-click the ReelForge icon and go to Publish, tab 4) to post it.

Already have ReelForge? Its Updates tab (reelforge 6) installs this version in one click.
