On July 30, 2026, Oscar-winning studio DNEG deployed Foundry's Hiero to support its editorial workflows, utilizing the tool's multi-shot management, conform editorial, and review functionality integrated with the shared Nuke timeline to monitor progress and share feedback efficiently. Earlier, on July 21, Foundry released SmartRoto, a new AI-powered rotoscoping plugin for its Nuke compositing software, which automatically moves and deforms existing roto splines to follow subjects across shots, aiming to accelerate rotoscoping work by up to four times. This follows Foundry's announcement on July 20 of Griptape Enterprise, a new tier of its AI workflow orchestration platform designed for high-end media production, featuring studio-controlled licensing and expanded project management capabilities to allow pipeline supervisors to curate AI models.
