Product Overview
What is FrameThrower?
FrameThrower helps filmmakers and creative teams discover visual references from existing films and organize them into actionable creative direction. Its searchable library supports research and inspiration, while lookbook and moodboard tools turn scripts and selected frames into scene-by-scene visual presentations. A REST API, SDK, and MCP server extend these capabilities into custom applications and agent workflows.
