AI can generate a strong starting point, but most shots still benefit from a bit of refinement. Edges and shapes will often need adjusting, and those small corrections make the difference between something that almost works and something that actually holds up in a final shot.
That's why we rebuilt Edit Alpha from the ground up.
A simpler way to refine your matte
The new Edit Alpha in Beeble Cloud provides a reorganized interface that makes mask editing faster and more direct.
The layout is cleaner and easier to navigate. You can refine masks directly over your footage, so you always see exactly how your changes affect the shot.
Instead of digging through panels or hunting for controls, you stay focused on the matte.
Full control over your masks
Rotoscoping lives in the details, and those details demand flexibility.
With the updated Edit Alpha, you can invert a mask instantly, switching foreground and background without rebuilding the shape. You can also adjust mask opacity so edges are easier to judge while refining.
If your workflow starts elsewhere, you can now import a custom alpha and refine it directly in Beeble Cloud.
The goal is simple: clear control over your masks without slowing down the work.
Bezier curves support
The rebuilt pen tool now supports full Bezier curves, making it easier to draw clean shapes and smooth edges.
- Hold Shift to create perfectly straight lines.
- Tap Alt to switch between brush and erase modes while you work.
Keyboard shortcuts enable you to switch tools and refine masks without breaking your rhythm.
The result is a smoother editing experience where adjustments feel quick and precise.
Built for Beeble Cloud
Everything runs in your browser, so there's nothing to install and no hardware setup to manage. Upload your footage, generate your alpha, and refine it in the same place.
Rotoscoping isn't going away, but the tools around it are improving. With a cleaner interface and faster controls, refining a matte becomes a standard step in the workflow rather than a bottleneck.
