Spielboard
Desktop add-on

Spielboard, wired into your timeline.

The add-on that runs Spielboard inside Premiere Pro, After Effects, and DaVinci Resolve — send generations straight to your timeline, pull clips back into the canvas, and run models on your own GPU.

Premiere Pro & After Effects on Windows and macOS · DaVinci Resolve Studio on Windows and macOS

Beyond the web app

Five things only the add-on can do.

A browser tab can't touch your host's timeline or your GPU. The add-on runs inside the editor, so it can.

🎯

Send to your timeline

Drop any generated image or video straight onto the Premiere, After Effects, or Resolve timeline — or into the bin. No download-and-reimport.

🎞️

Pull from your timeline

Pull the frame under the playhead, or the clip between your in/out marks, directly into the canvas as a source.

📁

Save beside your project

Generated media lands in a folder next to your host project — reveal any result in Explorer or Finder in one click.

📦

Import project files

Open a portable .spielboard.zip — every canvas, its media, and the cost history — right inside the plugin.

🖥️

Run models on your own machine

Bring your own GPU: run local models and import ComfyUI workflows as nodes, right alongside the cloud models. One-click managed install on Windows with an NVIDIA GPU today; on any platform you can also point the add-on at a ComfyUI instance you already run yourself.

Download

Pick your host.

Both installers are free, no admin rights required.

🎟️

One thing that's different from spielboard.ai: the add-on runs on your own fal.ai API key and a free tester code — not your web app account or credits. Don't have a tester code yet? Grab one in about 30 seconds at spielboard.ai/beta, then come back and install below.

Windows & macOS

Premiere & After Effects

The CEP panel for Adobe. Works in Premiere Pro and After Effects 2024+.

Get started

A few minutes to set up.

Everything you need, nothing you don't. Expand a step when you reach it.

Install the Adobe panel

Unzip the tester package, run the installer for your OS, and restart your host. No admin required.

🪟 Windows

  1. Unzip spielboard-tester.zip anywhere.
  2. Right-click install-gencanvas.ps1 → Run with PowerShell. If Windows blocks it: 
    powershell -ExecutionPolicy Bypass -File .\install-gencanvas.ps1
  3. Fully restart Premiere Pro / After Effects.
  4. Open Window → Extensions → Spielboard.

🍎 macOS

  1. Download spielboard-tester.pkg (above) and double-click it. It's Apple-notarized, so it installs cleanly — no Gatekeeper warning. Enter your admin password when asked (installs the panel for all users).
  2. Fully quit & restart Premiere Pro / After Effects.
  3. Open Window → Extensions → Spielboard.

No-admin fallback: unzip spielboard-tester.zip, then in Terminal run bash ./install-gencanvas.command from that folder. (Double-clicking the .command is blocked by Gatekeeper — the .pkg is the recommended path.)

Install for DaVinci Resolve

Resolve uses a Workflow Integration plugin (not a ZXP), and it's Studio-only — the free edition can't load it. The same spielboard-resolve.zip holds both installers; quit Resolve completely first (it locks plugin files while open).

🪟 Windows

  1. Unzip spielboard-resolve.zip anywhere, then run: 
    powershell -ExecutionPolicy Bypass -File .\install-resolve.ps1
  2. Click Yes at the UAC prompt (it writes into ProgramData).
  3. Restart Resolve → Workspace → Workflow Integrations → Spielboard.

🍎 macOS

  1. Unzip spielboard-resolve.zip, then in Terminal run from that folder: 
    bash ./install-resolve.command
  2. Enter your password when asked — it installs into Resolve's system plugins folder (/Library/Application Support/Blackmagic Design/…), the only path macOS Resolve scans.
  3. Restart Resolve → Workspace → Workflow Integrations → Spielboard.

Heads-up: on macOS this is a manual install (unzip + run the .command), not a one-click .pkg like the Adobe panel — it stages the plugin and needs your password to write into the system folder.

Add your fal.ai key & tester code

Every generation runs on your own fal.ai account, and the private beta is invite-only — so the panel needs two things before it can generate: a fal.ai API key, and a tester code.

  1. Create a key at fal.ai/dashboard/keys and make sure your account has billing credit. (A fal key looks like key-id:secret.)
  2. Don't have a tester code yet? Get one free at spielboard.ai/beta — enter your email and it's emailed to you in under a minute.
  3. In the Spielboard panel, click Settings (top-right).
  4. Paste the fal.ai key into fal.ai API key and the code into Tester code, then click Save.

Where your key lives

Stored locally only, readable just by you:

Windows
Documents\Spielboard\settings.json
macOS
~/Documents/Spielboard/settings.json

It's never sent anywhere except fal.ai, and it's never included in bug reports.

"Unverified extension" warning?

The beta panel is self-signed with our own dev certificate — that's expected. CEP checks a panel's integrity, not who issued the cert, so Spielboard loads normally once installed. There's nothing extra to "trust."

System requirements

Host editor

  • Premiere Pro 2024+ (CEP panel) — Windows & macOS
  • After Effects 2024+ (CEP panel) — Windows & macOS
  • DaVinci Resolve Studio (Workflow Integration — the free edition can't load it) — Windows & macOS

Platform

  • Windows 10 / 11 — Premiere / After Effects and Resolve Studio
  • macOS 12+ — Premiere / After Effects and Resolve Studio

Running models locally (optional)

  • One-click managed install — Windows with an NVIDIA GPU only, today.
  • Any other platform (macOS, AMD/Intel GPUs) can still point the add-on at a ComfyUI instance you install and run yourself.
  • This is an experimental, flag-gated feature — cloud generation always stays available as a fallback.

Account & cost

  • A fal.ai API key with billing credit. Generations run on your key: image ≈ $0.01–0.08, video ≈ $0.50+ per run.
  • A free tester code from spielboard.ai/beta — separate from any spielboard.ai web app account.
  • Optional: ffmpeg — only for "Pull frame / Pull clip" from the timeline.

The panel installs per-user and is self-signed for the beta — no admin needed for the Adobe panel; Resolve's installer needs your password once (system plugins folder).
