Curves: A curves editor.
Scopes: Parade, waveform, vectorscope and histogram.
Looks: A lookbook with Soft Film, Daylight Stock, Tungsten Glow, Faded Print, Cross Lab and Matinee. Intensity slider, gallery and LUTs.

Modes: Photo, Vector and Lumen are three views of one document. Switching modes never changes it.

Paint, retouch and composite pixels.

Select subject: Finds the subject in a still.
Remove background: Leaves the subject on a transparent layer.
Layers: Layers with masks, blend modes and a history panel.
Generative Fill: Fill a selection from a prompt, or grow the canvas with Generative Expand. Uses a connected ChatGPT app or a downloaded local model.
Depth Blur: A lens blur driven by the depth map, with the optional Depth pack.
Upscale: Real-ESRGAN photo and anime, Real-CUGAN and waifu2x with the optional Enhance pack.

Draw shapes, paths and type.

Vector art layers: Shapes, paths and type live as vector layers in the same document.
Image trace: Turns a Smart Matte cut-out into clean vector paths in one step.
Files: Open and save SVG, PDF, AI and EPS.

Develop light, color and detail.

Develop: Exposure, contrast, highlights, shadows, texture, clarity and more, without changing the pixels.
Curves: Tone curves for the master and each color channel.
Color mixer: Hue, saturation and luminance for each color band.
Looks: Named looks with an amount slider, plus auto tone.
Local masks: Gradient, depth, luminance, subject, sky and background masks, each with its own adjustments.
Relight: A light rig with AI depth. See Lighting below.

Lumen

Place lights around your subject. AI depth makes the light wrap the subject, so the glow follows its shape.

Grade and Forge

Volumetric light rays for your footage and composites. Rays stream from the bright parts of a shot.

Place lights around the subject. AI depth makes the light wrap it.

Lights: Point, spot, softbox, sun, rim and environment.
Per light: Position, height, intensity, color temperature, softness, falloff, shadows and highlights.
Rig: Ambient level, relief strength, delight, wrap, occlusion and edge wrap.
Starter rigs: Rembrandt, Butterfly, Split, Loop, Rim pair, Golden hour, Neon two-tone and Studio softbox.
Depth: Uses the optional Depth pack. Tenvek estimates depth the first time you add a light.

Volumetric light rays for footage and composites.

Where: A grade effect in the Light group, and a Rays node in Forge.
Controls: Brightness, threshold, length, softness, position and color.
Transition: A Light Rays transition between clips, in the Light and Flash group.

Smart Matte: Click selection and AI Roto, local or cloud.
Enhance: Upscale with Real-ESRGAN, Real-CUGAN and waifu2x. RIFE frame interpolation.
Captions: Local speech to text.
Depth: Depth maps for Image Studio.
AI panel: Connect a signed-in Claude Code or ChatGPT (Codex) on your PC to run edits on the timeline. Optional.

Presets: Custom Export, H.264 Master, H.265 Master, ProRes Master and DNxHR Master.
Render settings: Filename, location, single clip or timeline, range, format and codec.
Queue: Add exports to a render queue.
Encoders: Hardware encoding where your card has it, including NVENC.

Tiers: At startup Tenvek reads your video memory, RAM and cores and picks a minimum, standard or performance plan.
Memory: A memory governor gives up cache before a heavy project runs out of memory.
Decode: Hardware decode where your card has it, software decode where it does not.
Lower resolution when busy: Starts on for integrated graphics and 2 core PCs, so playback keeps moving.
Graphics: NVIDIA, AMD, Intel Arc and any DirectX 12 card.
