Automated scene-wide environment, season & lighting rework without rotoscoping

VFX teams spend days rotoscoping and rebuilding comps for each variant. This solution automates environment, season and lighting transforms across full sequences, driven by source footage with temporally consistent compositing.

Key Pain Points

Perceptual quality & consistency -- high-end feature film work has near-zero tolerance for artifacts; closing the quality gap vs. manual compositing is hard
Regulatory & IP concerns -- modifying actor appearance, lighting, or environment can raise rights and attribution issues in some contracts
Low defensibility from models -- core ML approaches are replicable; moat needs proprietary data, pipeline integrations, or enterprise contracts

Market Opportunity

Automated scene-wide environment, season & lighting rework without rotoscoping targets a $30.0B = 1,000,000 professional video production orgs × $30K ACV (studios, broadcasters, agencies, large brands) total addressable market with medium saturation and a year-over-year growth rate of 8–12% professional post-production growth; AI tooling adoption in creative pipelines growing 30–50% YoY.

Key trends driving demand: AI-driven post-production -- automates repetitive VFX tasks, reducing hours and enabling cheaper variant outputs; Demand for content variants -- brands require many environment/lighting variants for localization, seasonality, and A/B testing; Virtual production & real-time workflows -- studios are adopting GPU/cloud-based tooling that supports per-sequence automation; Cloud rendering & elastic GPUs -- lowers operational cost of heavy per-frame neural processing and enables previews at scale.
