Corridor Crew's PERFECT Chroma Key AI Model (CorridorKey) in Under 6GB VRAM! - Tutorial
A few days ago the HUGE YouTube channel Corridor Crew launched a video about how they created an AI to create the perfect chroma key. They claimed it could only be ran with more then 22gb of vram, but since they made it Open Source, the community already…
Compositing something behind glass.
I'm going to blame search engine enshittification if this has already been documented somewhere, but I could not find it.
Let's say I've greenscreened some elements, and I want to composite them into a video, but behind a glass pane, be it a window or something.
Is there a simple way to "blend" the composite thing to look like it's behind the glass (say in premiere or something), or do I have to bring in other software for some dark arts?
This seems like one of those things that is either so unnecessarily difficult, it's no wonder I can't figure it out, or it's so painfully obvious, that you just either know or don't.
Again, trying to just composite some keyed/masked element behind a glass in a video (fishtank, window, etc.)

Can someone help me figure out what's exactly wrong in this final result?
Disclaimer: The video is not mine
So I was watching this video on youtube and overall really enjoyed the process and learned a lot of things. Especially how the environment map was generated and the other person was placed in a way that you could get good enough reflections.
Link : https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8b-0591XkaA
My problem with this is when the head is brought into the comp after the render, I feel like even after everything the Artist has done it still doesn't feel correctly integrated, It's not the noise and it's not the blur and the artist obviously does set the black and white levels but to me it still feels like there is something wrong which I can't pinpoint.
Since i am still learning and don't have a good enough eye to immediately spot whats the problem, can someone else with a more trained eye tell me what exactly is wrong with the head that was replaced and why even after all that work feels like it's still not 100% there ?

Best software for removing tiny tattoos/moles from video (local processing, good tracking)?
Hi everyone,
My apologies if this is not the right sub to post this to. I’m looking for software recommendations for a very specific video editing task.
I need to remove very small skin marks (tiny tattoos / moles / small scars) from video. They’re really small - about mole-sized, not large tattoos.
The clips can be anywhere from a few seconds up to \~10 minutes, and the skin surface moves naturally with the body, so the fix needs to track the motion of the skin across the clip.
What I’m trying to achieve:
\- Remove a tiny spot on skin so it looks natural
\- Have the fix follow the movement automatically (tracking / match move)
\- Avoid frame-by-frame manual painting
\- Work on short clips or up to \~10 min videos
\- 100% local software (no cloud processing)
Things I’ve already tried or looked into:
\- DaVinci Resolve (free) using Fusion + Planar Tracker + Paint
\- Clone painting / skin cleanup tools
\- Clean plate techniques
\- I’ve heard tools like Mocha Pro, After Effects, and PowerMesh might be used for this kind of task
The problem I’m running into is that the marks are extremely small, and sometimes the trackers struggle because there’s not much texture in the skin.
So I’m wondering, what software is best for removing tiny skin marks in video? Is something like Mocha Pro actually worth it for this, or overkill? Are there easier tools specifically designed for skin cleanup / beauty retouching in video?
Any recommendations or workflows from people who do VFX/retouching would be hugely appreciated.
Thanks!

Color or VFX First
Hi everyone! I'm currently working on a film project, and I'm doing post by myself. The edit is picture locked, but now I am debating whether I should first move to color or VFX compositing? The film was shot in BRAW, and much of it features a full CG character. Some have said that I should do the compositing first, but wouldn't the footage then lose the flexibility of BRAW, or should I do correction, then compositing, then creative color?
Let me know!

Seedance 2.0 is nowhere near to take your jobs
I've had the pleasure to play around with Seedance 2.0. It's not officially available in the west, only in China. Because ByteDance delayed or halted the release in the west because of Hollywood/ Studios legal threats.
After having tested it I can confirm it's nowhere near to take VFX studios and people's jobs.
What we've seen online is very cherry picked stuff and also on social media the resolution and quality doesn't need to be as high.
There's still a lot of slop going on. Compression artifacts and other weird artifacts issues happening. Which is maybe less apparent when you see it in these small clips on social media.
While in some ways impressive and of course it being able to replicate cinematic scenes I still see it more like a party trick that can be used for fun. Kind of like Sora 2.0 app. Or some small brands could use it when they can't afford a bigger production budget.
This whole "Hollywood and VFX artists are cooked" is pure nonsense either to generate clicks or these people have no clue what it takes for high-end movies and VFX.
I could go on and on why it's so far away from it being to be a real threat (resolution, compression, consistency, length, and so on...) but I'm sure you get the idea.

Best shape for printed tracker points ?
Hello.
I woul'd like to print some tracker to put on the ground and rebuilt my scene more easely. Witch shape seems the most convenient ?
I was thinking of a cone of 10cm base and 8 height, with a notch to tie a string of 1meter and space them quickly. It also have to be stackable and not taking much space.
For the colors, I though making multiple colors like black, white, orange and green.
Is it a better way, or some tips I didn't thought about ?
Nice day.
