New Chroma Keying Tool Cuts VFX Time
Corridor Crew's open-source CorridorKey revolutionizes chroma keying by reconstructing foreground colors and alpha channels, saving rotoscoping time for VFX workflows in Resolve, Nuke, and Fusion.
CorridorKey is an open-source chroma keying tool developed by Corridor Crew that reconstructs foreground colors and alpha channels. It aims to reduce rotoscoping time in VFX workflows for software like Resolve, Nuke, and Fusion. The tool is free to use for any purpose, including commercial projects, but users may not repackage and sell it. Any modifications or improvements must remain free and open source and include the name "CorridorKey". Offering the model as a paid API service is also prohibited. Some users have reported success using CorridorKey, while others find that it doesn't offer significant speed improvements over existing tools like Nuke. VRAM requirements have been lowered to 6GB in some interfaces, and there are ComfyUI nodes available. There are also some licensing issues that do not qualify it as an "open source" license per the definitions of the open source initiative. Corridor Digital's Dean Hughes says AI tools such as those found in Autodesk Flow Studio allow artists to focus on being creative while automating mundane tasks. Corridor Digital also uses other AI tools like WanAnimate and OpenPose in their VFX workflows.
