Get a live card for your renders
Have your agent run an AI video batch, a 3D render or an export, and keep a card on your Lock Screen with each shot as it lands.
Before you start
- Your agent connected to Startr: Claude Code works best for renders on your own machine.
- A way for the agent to run or check the job: a video API, ComfyUI, Blender, ffmpeg, or a log file.
Step 1
Give the agent the job
- AI video batch:Generate these shots with my ComfyUI workflow at localhost:8188: [shot list]. Keep a Startr card with shots done out of total and an ETA. Ask me Yes or No on Startr before re-rolling any shot. End the card when every file is saved.
- 3D render:Render scene.blend frames 1-480 with Blender from the command line. Keep a Startr card updated with frames done and an ETA, mark it alert if the render errors, and end it with the output path.
- Export:Export timeline.mov to H.264 4K with ffmpeg. Keep a Startr card with percent done and an ETA, and end it with the file size.
Step 2
Let it run
- Keep the agent session open while the batch runs; the card only moves when the agent sends an update. For long batches, start the agent inside tmux so closing the laptop doesn't stop it.
- When a Yes/No arrives, answer from the Lock Screen. On Free, the question uses your one card slot, so the agent ends the progress card first, or you can upgrade to Pro for five.
If something doesn't work
Quick fixes
My video tool has no API
Then the agent can't see its progress, and the card can't either. Tools with an API, ComfyUI, or command-line exports work.
The card went stale
The agent stopped sending updates, usually because the session ended. Reopen it and ask it to continue.
