CorridorKey 2.0 Released
Corridor Digital has launched CorridorKey 2.0 (CK2.0), an updated keying tool for visual effects and video editing. This release is the company's first official plugin, developed in collaboration with Alê Alvaro for plugin development and Zachary Harris for model design and training. The tool is designed to address difficulties associated with green and blue screen keying, aiming to provide accurate results with a single click.
Cross-Platform Compatibility and Features
CorridorKey 2.0 is compatible with several major VFX and editing software packages, including DaVinci Resolve, Nuke, After Effects, Premiere Pro, and Blender. A single purchase grants access to plugins for all supported software. The tool runs locally on the user's machine and supports Windows with NVIDIA GPUs. It also includes a standalone application for bulk processing. Key features include native 4K and higher resolution support, HDR support, floating-point color depth, and flicker elimination.
Advanced Keying Technology
The tool incorporates a unique approach to keying by predicting the color of semi-transparent foreground objects to remove background screen color. This method is intended to preserve details such as motion blur, bokeh, and hair. CorridorKey 2.0 also features "time awareness," which analyzes entire video clips rather than single frames to eliminate flicker and chattering mattes, improving overall quality and handling issues like compression and noise. This allows for high-quality results even from less ideal shooting conditions.
Internal Use and Production Testing
CorridorKey 2.0 is the primary keying tool used internally at Corridor Digital. The company states it has not used other keying tools for over six months due to the results achieved with CK2.0. The tool was extensively used during the production of "Son of a Dungeon," processing over 400 VFX shots. This production experience is cited as evidence of its capabilities and professional output.
