The "EZ" fork wraps the original CorridorKey with a simpler interface — fewer knobs, more sensible defaults. Used by creators who need cleaner keys than Premiere/Resolve deliver out of the box, especially for tricky shots (hair, motion blur, semi-transparent edges, uneven lighting). ## Why it's relevant for us - **RezMyCV / Beepbo / YouTube content** — any green-screen talking-head or product shots we shoot for channels can use this instead of paying for Primatte/Sapphire - **Hedra / MiniMax video pipeline** — when we composite AI-generated video into our own backgrounds - **AI Beginner Course** — could be a great example in the "Image AI / Video AI → Local vs Cloud" comparison: local open-source tool that does one job well ## When to reach for it - Greenscreen keying is producing visible halos / fringing on hair or edges - Need a cleaner matte than the NLE's built-in chroma key - Don't want a Premiere/Resolve plugin dependency ## Install / try - GitHub README has install steps - Python tool — needs Python 3.x and likely PyTorch - ~63 MB download (models included? check README) - Self-host, no API key, no cloud cost ## Open questions - How does it compare to modern DaVinci Resolve Ultra Keyer? (worth a side-by-side if we ever need it) - Does it handle motion-blurred edges better than Primatte? (the original CorridorKey's claim to fame) - Can it run on M-series Macs natively? ## Related - [[Projects]] — overall project index - [[Henry — AI Assistant]] — tool preferences and decision log
