ExtraSmith

Cinematic authoring studio

Author one interactive experience. Deliver it to Blu-ray, Apple TV, and the web.

ExtraSmith helps filmmakers and studios build menu-driven experiences from one project: feature playback, bonus content, galleries, menus, chapters, and destination-specific packaging.

Current status: public homepage is being stood up now; the working authoring app is moving to a dedicated app surface.
Project overview Placeholder homepage
One project

Build menus, chapters, playback paths, galleries, and bonus features in one authoring flow.

Three outputs

Compile the same design for Blu-ray, Apple TV, and Web Theater without rebuilding the package from scratch.

Media-first workflow

Import videos, stills, menu art, music, and metadata, then connect them in a visual workspace.

Preview before publish

Inspect elements, review routes, and validate the package before you burn, submit, or publish.

The split that makes the product clearer

The homepage explains the product. The app does the work.

ExtraSmith now has two clear surfaces: this public-facing site for demos, positioning, pricing, and account access; and a dedicated app workspace where projects are authored.

extrasmith.com

Homepage

Marketing, demos, pricing, onboarding, and login entry point for current users.

  • Explain the product clearly
  • Show examples and demo flows
  • Convert visitors into trials or customers
app.extrasmith.com

Authoring app

The media browser, node workspace, viewer, inspector, and timeline live here.

  • Import and organize source assets
  • Build menus and connect playback paths
  • Compile for Blu-ray, Apple TV, and Web Theater

App routing is being separated now so the product stops feeling like a mixed marketing/dev page.

Workflow

Built around how filmmakers actually assemble a release.

01

Import the package

Bring in the main feature, bonus clips, menu art, still galleries, music, subtitles, and metadata.

02

Build the experience

Arrange nodes, connect routes, design menus, and inspect each surface in a dedicated viewer.

03

Validate before delivery

Preview the project, review chapter markers and media assignments, and catch gaps before export.

04

Compile to the destination

Use the same authored project to produce Blu-ray, Apple TV, or Web Theater packages.

Outputs

Three destinations. One authoring model.

Blu-ray

Create disc-ready structures with menus, chapter navigation, playback routes, and burner-oriented output workflows.

Apple TV

Package the same experience into Apple TV Extras-compatible assets and XML-driven metadata layouts.

Web Theater

Publish a browser-based interactive viewing package that can live on a website or in an embedded presentation context.

Early pricing placeholder

Pricing and accounts are coming with the public launch.

For now, this page exists so ExtraSmith has a real public home while the app workspace and project flow continue taking shape.
