Flowinator¶

Flowinator is a local-first production pipeline for Moho Pro. It keeps projects, assets, shots, workfiles, versions, publishes, and users in a clear on-disk structure.
It runs directly inside Moho from the Scripts menu. Project data is stored as JSON files beside the production, with no database, cloud account, or external service required.
What it provides¶
- Project creation, reopening, and local project settings.
- Asset and shot hierarchies for production work.
- Numbered workfile and publish versions that are never overwritten.
- A stable Live Publish file for downstream scenes.
- Local users with Project Admin and Artist roles.
- Relative project paths for shared folders with different drive letters or mount points.
- A recycle area for items deleted through Flowinator.
Typical workflow¶
- Create or select a project and log in.
- Create an asset or shot branch.
- Create the first workfile and save numbered versions while working.
- Publish an approved version.
- Use Import Live or Reference Live in another Moho scene.
Design principles¶
Flowinator is deliberately small and local. It does not include cloud sync, a database, automated publishing rules, or dependency tracking. The project structure and modular Lua code leave room for those features later.
