What is Bloody Finger Software?

Bloody Finger Software is an independent software studio that builds AI tools for performance creative work — ad creative review, browser-based video editing, music software for guitarists, and custom builds for creative teams. Run by a creative director and product designer. Founded in 2026, based in Oakland, CA. No investors, no advisory board.

AI CINEMA is a browser-based AI video editor for the BYOM (bring-your-own-model) era. Storyboard scenes on a Premiere-style timeline, generate stills and motion with the models you already pay for (Replicate, Runway, ElevenLabs, Pollinations), drop in your own footage, color-grade with a downloadable .cube LUT, and render an MP4 client-side via ffmpeg.wasm. Free and MIT-licensed. Source at github.com/shreddykrueger75/ai-cinema; live demo at ai-cinema-red.vercel.app.

Yes. Free and MIT-licensed. The only cost is what you spend with the AI providers whose models you bring (Replicate, Runway, ElevenLabs, Pollinations — your API keys, your accounts).

What does TheAdBench.AI do?

TheAdBench.AI is AI ad creative review for any measurable advertising creative. The deepest calibration is on short-form video — TikTok, Instagram Reels, YouTube Shorts, Facebook, X, Snapchat, Pinterest, LinkedIn, Threads, Vimeo — with all major formats (static social, display, marketplace, search, email, out-of-home) handled on their own format's terms. Drop a video, image, public URL, or script and get a senior strategist's read in under a minute. Free Quick-Check available (3/day).

Is TheAdBench.AI free?

Yes. TheAdBench.AI offers a free Quick-Check (up to 3 per day, ~10 seconds) and a free Deep-Dive analysis (1 per day during beta, ~60 seconds).

Does Bloody Finger Software store my ad creative?

No. Your ads are processed in real time and not retained. Bloody Finger Software does not store uploaded creative, build advertising profiles, or sell data.

AI Cinema: BYOM video editing in the browser

A Premiere-style timeline for AI-generated short-form video — bring your own models, render client-side, keep your keys.

Every AI video tool wants to sell you its model. AI Cinema assumes you already pay for the ones you like — it just wires them together on a timeline.

The idea

BYOM: bring your own model. Connect Replicate, Runway, ElevenLabs, or Pollinations with your own API keys. Storyboard scenes on a Premiere-style timeline with VIDEO, GRAPHICS, VOICEOVER, and MUSIC tracks. Generate stills and motion where you need them, drop in your own footage where you have it, letterboxed cleanly into 9:16, 16:9, or 1:1.

Zero-server stance

Your API keys live in your browser, not on our servers. The final render happens client-side too — ffmpeg.wasm builds the MP4 right in the tab, so your footage never uploads to anyone's cloud. The only cost is whatever you spend with the AI providers you bring.

The finishing pass

Per-segment music and voiceover with prompt control. Title cards via Google Fonts, graphic overlays, crossfades and fade-to-black. Real color grading with a downloadable .cube LUT. Seven starter templates — Product Reveal, Social Story, YouTube Pre-Roll, Tutorial, Brand Anthem, Logo Reveal, or a blank canvas.

Try it

The live demo is at ai-cinema-red.vercel.app, and the source is on GitHub. Free, MIT-licensed, still a work in progress — bring a key, bring footage, break it and tell us.
