What is the quickest workflow for "hide people in video"?

Open video mode, upload an MP4, run processing, then review the blurred export before publishing.

Are original videos stored server-side?

Does this work for short social clips?

Yes. BlurFaces is designed for short-form MP4 workflows including social, classroom, and event clips.

What if fast motion causes misses?

Trim to the needed segment, use cleaner source clips where possible, and review fast-moving frames before publishing.

Execution plan

Open BlurFaces in video mode and upload your MP4 clip.
Start processing so automatic face detection and blurring can run.
Review the completed export, focusing on fast motion and partial profiles.
Download the blurred MP4 and publish the privacy-safe version only.

Default settings by scenario

If a clip contains screens or badges, plan a photo-mode follow-up for still frames that need manual masking.
Check fast pans, occlusions, and profile turns because misses usually happen at motion extremes.
Prefer clean MP4 exports from your editor or phone for the most predictable results.
Trim clips to the segment you actually need so processing stays fast and review stays focused.

Formats, limits, and publishing tips

MP4 is the safest default for creator, classroom, and marketplace workflows.
Free handles short clips with a watermark; paid unlocks longer exports and no watermark.
Review captions, thumbnails, and first-frame previews before you post.

Real-world run-through

Final checks before you publish

Most privacy misses happen in the final 10%: compressed previews, reflected details, or crop variants. Treat verification as part of the workflow, not an optional step.

Keep one checklist for all team members so quality remains consistent.
Check thumbnail and compressed preview versions, not just the full file.
Run one final pass for secondary identifiers (badges, street numbers, documents).
