Pomfort Developer

Pomfort developer features let you extend and customize our applications beyond their built-in functionality. They enable you to automate manual tasks, apply custom logic, and integrate with other tools through scripting, network protocols, and data exchange mechanisms. This lets you connect workflows across on-set, dailies, and post-production without replacing existing tools. Depending on their intended use and level of access, we differentiate between public and private developer features. Currently, these include:

• Public: Scripting for Silverstack
• Private: Generic Look Device Protocol | LPTunnel

Public developer features are intended for direct use by media professionals in technical roles such as digital imaging technicians, data managers, workflow engineers, pipeline TDs, and software developers.

Not necessarily. Public developer features are designed as user-facing capabilities and are generally straightforward to implement, with a focus on accessibility and ease of use. For example, when using scripting in Silverstack, many common tasks can be handled by adapting existing examples, so deep programming knowledge isn't required to get started. That said, if you're planning more advanced integrations (e.g., connecting external tools or building pipeline systems), familiarity with scripting and command-line tools will be important.

Yes, but it's important to validate your setup first. As with any released features, they are thoroughly tested and ready for real-life use. However, developer features are powerful and flexible, incorrect configurations can impact your workflow. We therefore strongly recommend testing scripts and integrations in a controlled environment before deploying them in production.

Licensing depends on the type of developer feature and how it’s used within your workflow.

• Public features (such as scripting in Silverstack) are typically included in your application license and don’t come at an extra cost.
• Private features are licensed individually and may involve custom agreements depending on the scope of integration, distribution, and partnership level. Please reach out to our sales team for further details.

Start by exploring the documentation and examples on GitHub, in the Pomfort Knowledge Base, and through the in‑app help. For questions about APIs, workflows, or best practices, contact support through your application or by email. Please note that custom development and full pipeline integrations are not covered by standard support.

Some of our more advanced integration technologies are intentionally kept private. These are primarily intended for technology partners and vendors of professional third-party solutions.

For private developer features, support is closely tied to your specific integration and use case. If you’re considering a private integration, the best first step is to reach out. From there, we can discuss your project in detail and determine how to best support your workflow.
