User Guide
Everything you need to run your first batch, and what to do when something stalls.
Before you start
- A Google account with access to Google Flow.
- Reelforge installed — see install.
- A Flow project open in a tab. Reelforge works on that tab; it can't generate anything on its own.
Running a batch
- Open your Flow project, then open the Reelforge side panel.
- Pick a mode — Generate Video, Animate Image, Compose Video, Generate Image, Remix Image or Auto Pilot.
- Set aspect ratio, model, and how many outputs you want per prompt.
- Add your prompts — type them with a blank line between each, or import a
.txt,.xlsxor.csv. - Choose a download folder and press start.
Leave the Flow tab open and visible while it runs. Reelforge is clicking the real page, so covering or minimising it can interrupt a run.
Parallel Jobs and Throttle Window
| Setting | What it does |
|---|---|
| Parallel Jobs | How many prompts are in flight at once. Start at 1 — it's the most reliable, and Flow limits how much it will do at once anyway. |
| Throttle Window | A random pause before starting the next prompt, between the two numbers you set. A little spacing makes long runs steadier. |
Upscaling a whole project
- Open the finished project so its tiles are visible.
- Choose Upscale All at the bottom of the mode list.
- Pick Videos → 1080p or Images → 2K.
- Set a folder and press start.
It scans the whole project, lists every tile as a task, and works through them. Each file is named from that tile's own prompt, so the output is easy to match back up.
Higher values are faster, but Flow finishes upscales out of order, which can save a file under the wrong name. Only raise it if a few mismatched names are acceptable.
Filenames
Files are saved as 001_your-prompt-text_a.mp4 — a running number,
a short slug of the prompt, and a letter when a prompt produces several
outputs. You can turn the renaming off in settings if you'd rather keep
Google's original names.
When something goes wrong
| What you see | What to do |
|---|---|
| Nothing happens when you press start | Check you're on a Flow project page and reload that tab, then try again. |
| "Extension is debugging this browser" banner | Expected. Reelforge needs that to send real clicks. It clears when the run ends. |
| Tiles get skipped | Usually a notification covering them. Reelforge retries skipped tiles once at the end of a run. |
| Buttons aren't being found | Google changed the Flow layout. Reelforge pulls its button locations from the web, so this normally fixes itself — try again shortly, or report it. |
| Downloads land in the wrong folder | Check your browser's download settings aren't set to ask for a location each time. |
Good to know
- Don't run a batch and an upscale at the same time — they both rename downloads and will collide.
- Reelforge uses your own Google account and your own quota. It can't generate more than your plan allows.
- Higher-resolution downloads (1080p, 2K, 4K) only appear if your Google plan includes them.
