Netflix acquires AI post-production startup InterPositive for $587 million: turning editing challenges into “fixable” tasks. #Netflix has completed its acquisition of #InterPositive, an #AI startup founded by Ben Affleck, for $587 million. The company follows a “low-key but practical” approach, focusing on supporting film production’s post-production and editing workflows rather than flashy solutions that generate videos from scratch. Founded in 2022, InterPositive’s core mission is to build AI infrastructure that understands production workflows. It leverages proprietary technology to support real-world footage—for example, training on daily dailies from the same project to ensure visual consistency, correcting continuity errors, removing complex rigging wires, re-composing existing shots, and adjusting background or lighting elements during post-production. Following the acquisition, InterPositive’s 16-person team will join Netflix’s internal development division, and Affleck will serve as a senior advisor, offering industry expertise to encourage more directors to adopt this workflow. Netflix aims to balance directors’ artistic intent, improve digital asset management efficiency, and reduce visual effects costs. #Netflix #InterPositive #BenAffleck #AI #GenerativeAI #PostProduction #VFX #Editing #FilmProduction #TechNews
