BCC Witness protection for blurring faces, just sharing.

Like I say I'm just sharing.

If you have Boris Continuum, can afford to update to Continuum 2024.5 & need to blur peoples faces then this new filter could be useful.

No need to fanny around moving masks etc & it works surprisingly well, on my PC anyway. but does come at a cost, Continuum aint cheap..

PS this is a 'Free to use (CC0)' clip.

@Gid

Hi Gid.

That is very neat and would definitely be very useful for me but using 19GB of dedicated v-ram and a wider bus width than my GPU has would probably mean me with only 12GB of v-ram and half your bus width would probably mean a much laggier playback experience and longer render times.

Can you remove unwanted masks?

Ray.

@CubeAce Hi, I did suspect that & is why I showed Taskmanager,

Yes you can remove unwanted masks but not in MMS, you can open Mocha where a mask can be created that excludes/includes (Inverted mask) chosen areas.

In MMS you'd have to duplicate & mask, overlay. but if only one face is wanted & the rest of the crowd excluded/blurred it would take a lot of work out of the process. 🤷‍♂️

@CubeAce This is it in Vegas with Mocha excluding one face, I didn't bother tracking the mans face which is entirely possible, I just did one frame to show you.

I understand system requirements, host program & price is a factor, like I say just sharing 👍

-------------------------------------------------

But if ever you want I could supply a B/W version for you, it will need to be added to duplicate clips & a blur added to one of them, & maybe need a bit of tweaking on your end, but it would take a lot of work off you, as you see it really wouldn't take me long & I could refine or exclude a face/s as wanted 👍

If you want to try a B/W mask -

This is that clip of people walking, 7.9mb https://drive.google.com/file/d/19yRHyHJpnROIzxlY-AauKyP3f3_G9s4Y/view?usp=sharing

& this is the B/W mask. 8.43mb https://drive.google.com/file/d/1CA9vNnvEfP-xSM1u5yrl2okmqDTZH0ZQ/view?usp=sharing

----------------------------

This is where that clip came from, the same as in my Google link, I don't know if it will match the mask I created, it should because I haven't edited it but .. 🤷‍♂️, https://www.pexels.com/video/video-of-people-walking-855564/
