Extensible Platform & Modules

Open design. Transduce is built as containers — not a hard-coded format list. Modules extend decode, encode, effects, and analysis. The Module Hub is where that ecosystem lives.

Module Manager with packages flowing from the Module Hub into the installed stack

Capability containers query modules at runtime. Ship a look or a codec as an .a2fmod package; install and manage it through Module Manager / Module Hub. Your module runs beside factory capabilities — same stack, same pipeline stage — without forking the app.

Resize and AI model containers stay internal where the product needs a controlled pipeline. Everything facing formats and looks is meant to grow with authors and the Module Hub.

What you can extend

Four open containers. Effects is the fastest path for most creators; codecs grow the I/O surface.

Open Effects Post-CC looks — grain dialects, optical quirks, custom finishes. Flagship community type · Effects
Open Encoder Delivery formats your house needs that built-ins do not cover · Compatibility
Open Decoder Source formats and specialised ingest paths
Open Analysis Post-encode metrics and pipeline utilities

Module Hub

Discover, install, and trust what you load — without turning Transduce into a closed appliance.

Discover

Module Hub

Browse and install modules from the community and authoring ecosystem — finishing looks and formats that travel with the product.

Manage

Module Manager

Install from file (.a2fmod), enable, disable, remove. Keep built-ins intact while you trial author packages.

Trust

Tiers

Built-in · Authorized · Community — so studios know what is factory, signed, or user-sideloaded.

Create your own module

Open design. Implement the published container interface, declare a manifest, package as .a2fmod, install through Module Manager — it appears next to factory modules.

Step What you do
1 · Interface Implement Decoder, Encoder, Effects, or Analysis — Effects uses ACEScg float tensors after colour
2 · Manifest Name, version, author, params, API version — the registry reads this, not hard-coded names
3 · Package Bundle as .a2fmod and install via Module Manager (⌘M)
4 · Module Hub Publish through the Module Hub so others can find and install your work
