About
SwitchLight 3.0, developed by Beeble, is the most advanced Video-to-PBR model in the world, empowering filmmakers, VFX professionals, and content creators to fully transform lighting in post-production. By extracting physically based rendering (PBR) passes directly from any video input, SwitchLight enables production-level digital relighting that was previously impossible without expensive on-set lighting setups. Version 3.0 marks a significant leap forward with a true end-to-end video model that processes multiple frames simultaneously, eliminating the flicker and ghosting artifacts that plagued earlier single-frame approaches. It has been trained on a dataset ten times larger than its predecessor, covering a broader range of lighting conditions, materials, and environments for dramatically improved realism and generalization. Key capabilities include up to 4K output resolution, 16-bit EXR file support, and processing of videos up to one hour long. The model delivers sharper facial definition, accurate material rendering, cleaner hair and subject-background separation, and stable normal maps even under fast motion or extreme camera shake. SwitchLight 3.0 is available through two platforms: Beeble Cloud, where all footage is automatically processed with the latest model at no additional cost, and Beeble Studio, a new desktop app that runs entirely on a local GPU — ideal for studios and professionals requiring secure, offline workflows. It is the definitive tool for movies, commercials, music videos, and any high-end visual media project demanding professional-grade relighting.
Key Features
- True End-to-End Video Model: Processes multiple frames simultaneously with native temporal consistency, eliminating flicker and ghosting even during fast motion or shaky camera footage.
- Video-to-PBR Pass Generation: Automatically extracts physically based rendering (PBR) passes — including albedo, normal maps, and more — from any video, enabling full digital relighting in post-production.
- 4K Resolution & 16-bit EXR Output: Supports up to 4K processing and 16-bit EXR outputs, meeting the quality demands of professional film and VFX pipelines.
- Local GPU Processing via Beeble Studio: Beeble Studio runs SwitchLight 3.0 entirely on your local GPU, supporting secure offline workflows and videos up to one hour in length.
- 10× Larger Training Dataset: Trained on a dataset ten times larger than SwitchLight 2.0, covering more lighting conditions, materials, and environments for superior realism and accuracy.
Use Cases
- Post-production relighting of feature films and cinematic content to achieve the perfect mood and atmosphere.
- Rebranding or correcting lighting in commercials and advertising footage without expensive reshoots.
- Creating visually consistent lighting across multi-scene music video productions.
- Enhancing or completely replacing lighting environments in VFX compositing pipelines.
- Generating PBR material passes for integration into 3D compositing and real-time rendering workflows.
Pros
- Production-Grade Quality: Delivers VFX-level PBR outputs with sharp facial detail, clean hair rendering, and stable normal maps — suitable for film, commercials, and music videos.
- Flexible Deployment Options: Available as both a cloud app and a local desktop app (Beeble Studio), catering to teams with different security and infrastructure requirements.
- Seamless Upgrade Path: Existing Beeble Cloud users are automatically upgraded to SwitchLight 3.0 at no additional cost with no workflow changes required.
- Eliminates Flicker and Ghosting: The native video model resolves artifacts like ghosting around fast movement and camera shake that were common in previous frame-by-frame approaches.
Cons
- Requires Capable Hardware for Local Use: Running Beeble Studio locally demands a powerful GPU, which may be a barrier for independent creators or smaller teams without high-end hardware.
- Professional Focus May Limit Accessibility: The tool is primarily designed for VFX professionals and filmmakers; casual users or beginners may find the PBR workflow complex to integrate.
- Limited Publicly Available Pricing Details: Detailed pricing information for both Beeble Cloud and Beeble Studio is not transparently disclosed on the product page.
Frequently Asked Questions
