Formats are open. The engine is closed. The repo layout, shots.yaml schema, and lock spec are published as the Cutgraph spec.

Core thesis

A project is a git repo of plain-text sources that compile to a render DAG. The server owns truth; local copies are disposable clones. The agent lives server-side and commits like a teammate.

Hosted repos are bare repos on disk. Stock git clone works on any machine — sources from git, heavy assets from a content-addressed store via git-lfs. Clone your show and leave anytime.

Project types

Three types at launch: series, film, campaign. Type picks the Cmd-N template and sidebar language only. The engine never branches on type.

Open spec

Cutgraph lives at cutgraph.app. This marketing site is the public face of Filmback; the schema and parser live in the cutgraph package, designed to be open-sourced via a git move, not surgery.
