CorridorKey stands out in the aescripts library because it ranks among the most popular entries there, and recent versions have focused on performance, including a 30% speed gain in 1.3.0.
CorridorKey is a plugin implementation that makes Corridor Digital's CorridorKey easy to use across After Effects, DaVinci Resolve, and Premiere Pro. It also supports Nuke and NukeX, and it currently ranks among the most popular entries on aescripts.
The plugin includes a Tiling Mode that processes 256x256 tiles for higher effective resolution and lower memory usage, plus Auto Crop, which crops around the mask bounding box to avoid wasted compute on large transparent areas and is on by default. An optional QuickMatte input parameter lets you provide a custom alpha hint.
Version 1.3.0 arrived on April 17, 2026, bringing a 30% speed improvement along with bug fixes. Earlier updates delivered further performance gains and stability fixes across macOS and the installer. A demo video is available.
CorridorKey is best for artists working in After Effects, DaVinci Resolve, Premiere Pro, or Nuke who want an easy way to use Corridor Digital's CorridorKey.
CorridorKey is completely free to download and use.
CorridorKey supports After Effects 2026 back to 2020, along with DaVinci Resolve 21, 20, 19, and 18. It also runs in Premiere Pro from 2026 to 2020 and in Nuke and NukeX versions 16.0 down to 12.0. That spans a wide range of releases across four host applications. Check the developer's page to confirm the current version matches your specific host and operating system before installing.
CorridorKey's Tiling Mode processes only 256x256 tiles at a time, which allows for higher effective resolution while using less memory. It arrived in version 1.2.2 alongside Auto Crop, which crops around the mask bounding box to avoid wasted compute on large transparent areas and is on by default. That same update also noted dramatically improved performance. For details on configuring these options, see the developer's page.
CorridorKey 1.3.0, released on April 17, 2026, brings a speed improvement described as 30% faster, along with bug fixes. The preceding version, 1.2.9, focused on significant performance improvements, while updates in the 1.2.4 series fixed an installer that failed silently when out of storage, resolved an occasional macOS bug, and addressed a rare case where a trial watermark appeared. The initial release, 1.0.0, landed on March 17, 2026. See the developer's page for the full changelog.
CorridorKey is listed as free here in the catalog, though licensing terms can change over time. Check the developer's page for the current details before relying on it for a project. If you'd like to preview the plugin before installing, a demo video is available. CorridorKey works as a plugin implementation of Corridor Digital's CorridorKey across After Effects, DaVinci Resolve, Premiere Pro, and Nuke, so confirm compatibility with your host as well.
