Beeble Studio now supports EXR and refined alpha generation for professional workflows.EXR Image Sequence Import
You can now import your footage as EXR image sequences to generate VFX passes. This gives you maximum quality and full flexibility when working in professional pipelines.Alpha Generation Modes
Two modes are now available for alpha generation:- Auto: AI generates a clean matte on the first frame and propagates it through the rest of the video. Recommended when the subject is clearly separated in the first frame.
- Manual Keyframe: Use your own alpha mask for the selected keyframe. The AI will propagate that mask across the entire sequence. Recommended when you want full control. Manual Keyframe is supported only for EXR image sequence input.
