Reading Time: 10 minutesAI rotoscoping, keying, and compositing helpers are tools that use machine learning to suggest or refine mattes (masks/alpha), clean up green screen or blue screen keys, and support layer integration inside a VFX compositing workflow. They speed up first passes and repetitive fixes. They do not replace a roto artist or compositor, and they do… Continue reading AI Rotoscoping, Keying, and Compositing Helpers (Common Pitfalls)

Reading Time: 12 minutesDeepfakes (a portmanteau made from deep learning, a type of machine learning, and faking things) and face replacement in film are the practice of changing who a face appears to be in a finished shot, using a mix of VFX work and machine learning so the face fits the scene’s camera, lighting, and performance. The… Continue reading Deepfakes in Film: Face Replacement Use Cases & Risks

Reading Time: 11 minutesAI audio is the use of machine-learning models to generate, repair, separate, or transform sound based on patterns learned from training data. It is a set of production tools, and it does not change the rules around permission and licensing. You still need written permission to use a person’s voice or a voice replica, and… Continue reading AI Audio for Film: Voice, Cleanup, Music Beds, and Commercial Safety

Reading Time: 10 minutesAI colorization and restoration is a supervised workflow that uses AI-based tools to add plausible color to monochrome footage and to reduce scan defects such as dust, scratches, flicker, gate weave, and noise. It can improve legibility and viewing comfort when the source is damaged or hard to read. It does not discover exact historical… Continue reading AI Colorization and Restoration (Ethics, Accuracy, Workflow)
