The new visual compositing platform combines AI models, batch iteration workflows, and programmable production automation alongside the SwitchX API

Beeble today announced Canvas, a node-based AI compositing environment for complex VFX, post, and virtual production workflows. Built for filmmakers, studios, agencies, and content creators, Canvas combines AI video models, compositing utilities, and visual workflow automation into a single production system designed around controllable, iterative pipelines that allow teams to refine and scale work across multiple shots.

Canvas includes native access to Beeble's AI models, including SwitchX for video-to-video transformation and SwitchLight for generating physically based rendering (PBR) passes such as normal maps, alongside integrated AI rotoscoping tools. The system also supports external generative and utility models, allowing artists to combine AI-generated content with traditional compositing techniques within a single visual interface.

Artists can build node graphs that combine live-action footage, background plates, masks, reference images, and AI-generated elements to create and compare multiple visual variations across entire shot sequences. Users can also automate repeatable workflows, batch process iterations, and maintain scene consistency across projects without rebuilding workflows shot by shot.

One Plate Infinite Skies Interface

Professional VFX workflows demand precision, flexibility, and iteration, said Hoon Kim, Co-founder and CEO of Beeble. Canvas brings AI models, compositing tools, and workflow automation into a single visual environment where artists can experiment, iterate, and build production-ready results faster.

Golden Hour Drive Interface

Alongside Canvas, Beeble also introduced the SwitchX API, enabling studios and developers to integrate Beeble's AI relighting and video transformation capabilities directly into custom production pipelines and software environments.

The release expands Beeble beyond standalone AI tools into a broader production workflow platform designed for scalable AI-assisted content creation.

Canvas is now available at beeble.ai.
