Beeble has introduced Canvas, a node-based compositing system that integrates artificial intelligence into visual effects workflows. Designed for filmmakers, studios, and creators, it allows combining live footage, backgrounds, masks, and AI-generated elements in a single graph. The tool promises to simplify complex post-production and virtual production tasks.
Model integration and automated rotoscoping 🎬
Canvas uses Beeble's own models, such as SwitchX for video-to-video transformation and SwitchLight, which generates physically-based render maps. It also includes automated rotoscoping tools and supports external models. Artists can build node graphs where AI processes backgrounds, references, and footage in real-time, streamlining processes that previously required hours of manual work in digital compositing.
AI now also makes you coffee while you rotoscope ☕
Because of course, the missing piece was AI getting into compositing too. Now, while you used to drink two coffees to mask a shot, Canvas does it in seconds. Sure, the time saved will be spent explaining to the client why the AI decided your shot's background looked like a Dalí painting. But hey, at least the nodes look pretty.
