Flow Studio Operational

Flow Studio is designed for visual effects production in film, television, advertising, short-form video, and other content. It is used to place CG characters into live-action footage and brings character animation, scene lighting, and compositing together in an AI-assisted workflow.

The product is suitable for creators who want to reduce their reliance on motion-capture equipment and complex 3D software. It can also support basic processing, rapid previews, and proof-of-concept work for professional teams.

Users can upload single-camera live-action performance videos and CG character models. The system then generates body, facial, and hand movements for the characters, while processing their lighting and compositing based on the captured scene.

The tool supports single-shot and multi-shot sequence processing and can identify shot changes. Exports include motion data, character passes, alpha mattes, clean plates, camera-tracking data, and production files for Blender, Maya, USD, and other formats. Multiple CG characters can be processed in the same scene, and custom stylized 3D characters are supported.

Independent filmmakers, small studios, and individual creators can use it to produce short films, demos, or proof-of-concept content featuring CG characters. Advertising and marketing teams can use it for dynamic content that requires rapid character compositing.

Directors, screenwriters, students, and educational institutions can use live-action footage to practice combining CG characters with real-world scenes. Professional visual effects teams can use the automated results as source material before artists refine the animation, lighting, or compositing.

Flow Studio is primarily used through a browser and relies on cloud computing. Production still requires usable live-action performance footage and CG character models that meet the requirements. Automatically generated motion, lighting, mattes, and compositing results should not be treated as final footage without review. Complex shots or specialized performances may require manual inspection and adjustment.

The product offers free and paid options. The cloud computing resources and available features for each usage tier should be confirmed on the actual service page.
