New in Runway, Ruby now supports alpha channels. Convert your footage to HDR while keeping the alpha channel fully intact. All in a single step.

Get started:

So cool!

Alpha surviving the conversion is the sort of thing that sounds small and then saves an afternoon a shot. Compositing is where most of these pipelines quietly lose their time.

Honestly the fact that adobe after effects doesn’t have ruby capabilities is just shameful.

Buh-bye Hollywood.

Is this the beeble api or switch x?

ACEScg itself didn't change between 1.3 and 2.0, only the output transforms did. So is the difference between those options which inverse OT you assume the SDR source went through? And where does 18% grey land in scene-linear?

keeping alpha through an HDR convert is the quiet unlock compositors actually feel most AI plate pipelines flatten the matte then burn hours rebuildingg it -- one step that holds the channel stops that loop

Keeping alpha through an HDR conversion, useful.

Very nice finish.

Alpha preservation is what makes a tool pipeline-ready.
