About SwitchLight Studio

SwitchLight Studio, now part of Beeble, is a professional AI VFX platform designed for filmmakers and visual storytellers. It offers a comprehensive suite of pixel-perfect, frame-accurate tools including mask-guided relighting (SwitchX), background removal, 3D relighting, SDR to HDR recovery (as EXR), sky replacement, upscaling, and integrated image/video generation from frontier models. The node-based Canvas enables complex, customizable workflows with full control over every frame, aspect ratio, framerate, and resolution. Templates for common shots (driving plates, sky replacement, crowd generation) accelerate production. Beeble emphasizes preserving actor identity via explicit masks and supports professional outputs in PNG and EXR formats.
