Learn how to use Depth Map ML in Boris FX Continuum and Avid Media Composer to create instant, AI-powered depth masks that isolate elements based on distance. This tutorial demonstrates how to leverage machine learning to control exactly where your effects hit the frame, allowing for sophisticated depth-based compositing without a single second of manual rotoscoping.
Zak Ciotti shows you how to enable Depth Map ML within the Pixel Chooser to drive cinematic effects like BCC+ Double Fog and BCC+ Color Shadow. You will learn how to distinguish between "near" and "far" elements to add natural atmosphere, diffusion, and stylized color grading, while discovering the best practices for handling both static and handheld camera movement.
Don't let complex masking requirements slow down your creative flow. Witness how artificial intelligence can interpret the spatial data in your 2D footage to create immersive, 3D-aware environments - watch this tutorial now to master depth-based masking in Continuum.
