Damn, they already have plug-ins for Nuke, Blender and Unreal Engine.
Curious how Canvas stacks up to Weavy, Comfy, etc.?
It seems better than Weavy, that thing is a piece of junk tech demo. Probably easier to use than Comfy but similar functionality.
Agrreed. Weavy is for creative directors and “content creators”
Generally agree. But their licensing agreements for pay-to-play models are better than Comfy. Filters are tuned for industry professionals, not people creating deep fakes.
I’ve had pretty decent luck creating static elements and soft-focus backgrounds in weavy. Not so much luck with full-up moving pictures. The big drawback for me there is that the sizes are so limited and the output so restricted that the quality sucks on anything HD sized and up. I noticed on the Canvas demo that everything was 1080.
Like usual the demo looks good. Would be interesting to see what kind of quality starts coming out of it. I have my doubts, but will keep (or try to) an open mind.
I am, BTW, busy trying to morph Batch into something closer to that.
That post was a bit off-the-cuff and seemed to fly under the radar. I have added to the Starter Pack since then, and now have an Inapint Node and a SAM node. The nodes now have a popup selector for different workflows. Hopefully I can publish repo this week.
[ok, end plug, but it is relevant]
I still think integration is the way. I suppose we shall see.

Always sticking your beak into things.
Good to see you on here, mate.
Hey Greg-Paul!
Good to see you too.
this sort of thing is the future for sure. ive been using runway workflow and higgsfield and they are both great
wow! a sunset button!
im using Weavy constantly. I have some complaints about UI related stuff and other features but overall It works great IMHO
Yea… Flame could use a facelift. It’s looking a bit aged these days.
2027 looks fresh and new…
I was using weavy for a while until I came across Magnific (freepik). UI/UX experience is much better. Now subscribe to Beeble because the current job I’m on requires some re-lighting tools, and it’s mind-blowing what it can do quickly. I can’t wait to see what the quality is like with the EXR exports.
Tip for Weavy: in chrome, click 3 dots upper right > cast/save/share > “open in Figma Weavy”
Launches a instance of your weavy workspace/file in which the UI is significantly smoother and snappier.
Beyond that I shall not argue the pro and cons.
I’m curious to know how you are all using these tools. I only say this as everything I seem to work in these days starts with 8k EXR aces 2065 plates. Can these AI tools still be useful in this world and if so what’s the route to take?
Yes, potentially. With some caveats.
You can still use out/inpaint on a small region of an 8K plate.
AI workflows don’t always generate the whole image. In one recent job AI produced the content for a screen comp, in a shot that was filmed traditionally. The same goes for objects you might be comping into the scene.
Even in 8K, a carefully crafted background plate that has been upressed and is beyond the focal range of the main plate can totally work.
You have to think through color space journey and bit depth along the way. I’ve seen a recipe in a different forum on how to apply inverse DRTs and a few other operators to make over-processed AI material sit better in camera footage.
I have in the past done the odd tweak using the Runway workflow on some shots which has involved cutting a tile out like you said.
Then i chose to do a colour transform using a look node to get it brighter in the hope i could reverse it (sort off). It was a pretty unpleasant work flow, which when i got the shot back into Flame resulted in a an upscale, followed by a re-grain and then a grade fudge then a prayer that it would go through QC. Luckily it did but it wasn’t enjoyable. The shot in question was adding tyre smoke to a car skidding around a corner and i have to say it looked great when it was finished. Better than i could of done. I guess i was just checking that what i’ve mentioned above is still the general pain that most of us still going through.
