AWS Deadline Cloud now supports machine learning training using Foundry Nuke CopyCat

Today, AWS Deadline Cloud announces integration with Foundry Nuke CopyCat, allowing you to run machine learning training jobs for visual effects in the cloud. AWS Deadline Cloud is a fully managed service that simplifies render management for computer-generated 2D/3D graphics and visual effects for films, TV shows, commercials, games, and industrial design.

CopyCat learns visual effects, such as color corrections, beauty finishes, or deblurring, from a set of adjusted frames and automatically applies these adjustments across entire sequences. Instead of cleaning up frames one by one, you can fix a handful of representative frames and CopyCat will automatically apply these changes to the rest of your footage, saving you significant amounts of valuable time. With this integration, you can now train models by submitting CopyCat training jobs directly to your Deadline Cloud render farm. This gives you the ability to scale and run multiple training workloads in parallel while freeing up your artist workstations for creative work. You can monitor and track training jobs alongside other render jobs through the Deadline Cloud interface for one simple view across an entire project.

AWS Deadline Cloud with Nuke CopyCat integration is available in all AWS Regions where AWS Deadline Cloud is supported. To get started, visit our CopyCat integration user guide.
