👋 Welcome to bitGen Studio Discussions

[Tim-byte-dev]

Hi everyone, I'm Tim, and I am building bitGen Studio. Thanks for stopping by!

bitGen Studio is a local, self-hosted AI film and design studio. You can write a screenplay with a local LLM, render scenes with MiniMax H3, LTX and Wan through ComfyUI, and cut them on a timeline. You can also make images and music, edit pictures in a layered image editor, and build rooms, roads and sets in the 3D Sketcher. Everything runs on your own GPU. There are no accounts and no cloud, and nothing leaves your machine.

It's a public beta, so expect some rough edges. This is the place to talk about it.

What goes where

• 📣 Announcements: new releases and what changed (the full list is in the changelog).
• 🙏 Q&A: stuck on installing, a model, ComfyUI or a style? Ask here.
• 💡 Ideas: features you'd like, or something that could work better.
• 🎬 Show and tell: share what you've made. Films, pictures, music and Sketcher builds are all welcome.

Found a definite bug? Please open an Issue with the Bug report template, so it doesn't get lost.

Getting help faster

When something goes wrong, please include:

1. Your bitGen Studio version (it's on the title bar and in Settings).
2. Your GPU and ComfyUI version.
3. The log lines from the failed job. Copy the lines that start with [worker] and any ERROR lines.
4. What you clicked, and what you expected to happen.

A log is worth a thousand words. Most problems can be fixed straight from one.

Good to know

• 📖 Install guide · User guide · Feature reference (PDF)
• 🖥️ It's developed on Windows 11 with an RTX 5090. 24 GB+ of VRAM is the realistic floor for MiniMax H3 video. The editors, CAD and the timeline run on any GPU.
• ⚠️ The editors, the Sketcher and the Unreal / Daz bridges haven't had much real-world testing yet. If you use them, your feedback is especially valuable.
• Some models have their own licences (for example the MiniMax H3 Community License). Check them before you use the results commercially.

Say hello 👇

Reply below and tell us what you're making, what GPU you're on, or what brought you here. I read everything, and plenty of bitGen's features started as someone's "wouldn't it be nice if…".

Thanks for trying it!
