Frequently Asked Questions

Why does this exist?

The official CorridorKey repository does work on Mac, it's written in Python and is not really optimised for the latest Apple Silicon hardware.

We wanted to take the amazing MLX Models created by Alexandre Alvaro, and use them in something that's specifically built and optimised for Final Cut Pro and Mac's.

Using the models as a starting point, we wanted to make something that feels native to Mac.

Whilst we have other open source FxPlug effects on GitHub (such as Gyroflow Toolbox), we also wanted to showcase this as a great complex FxPlug, that others can use as a reference - as it has everything, Metal, MLX, OSC, etc.

We hope this will be a great open source resource for people to really dive deep into FxPlug.
