What's New

  • Object Detection & Masking (AI): Enter a text prompt, segment, propagate, and render. That’s it. 
  • Face ML Node (AI): Automatically detect and segment key facial regions without manual roto. 
  • Integrated 3D Tracking Powered by SynthEyes: Accurately detect, analyze & solve 3D cameras at blazing speeds. 
  • Enhanced Cryptomatte Support: Output objects from Matte Assist ML and Mask ML nodes as Cryptomatte data. Available mattes applied as overlays to the optional image input.
  • Tracker Improvements: Automatically exclude user-defined regions that may disrupt tracking, and generate tracked layers based on selected 3D track points.
  • Updated AI Models: Next-gen models in Matte Assist ML, Denoise ML, and UpRes ML nodes deliver faster and even more precise results.
  • VFX and Compositing: Sapphire, Mocha Pro, and Particle Illusion nodes updated to 2025.5 releases.

Text-Based Object Detection (AI)

Change the way you create complex mattes with a groundbreaking, fully automated AI-driven object detection and masking workflow. Enter simple text prompts, such as "cars" and "buildings," or even semantic queries, like "tallest person in the scene."

Leverage our dynamic new Cryptomatte workflow within Mask ML and Matte Assist ML nodes to generate mattes for multiple objects simultaneously


One-Click Face Segmentation (AI)

Discover how the new Face ML node automatically generates accurate alpha channels for skin, eyes, eyebrows, and lips, even on challenging footage with diffusion and movement. Use it to revolutionize your beauty work and intricate compositing tasks.
