Blur faces and license plates in GoPro footage
SuperView stretches plates across the lower third; helmet vibration makes manual keyframes painful. Upload MP4 or HEVC masters and let BGBlur follow identifiers frame to frame.
Creators film at 4K120 for slow motion, which multiplies the number of frames needing review. Start from the highest-quality export you can upload; downscale only after redaction.
When plates sit on the lens periphery, legacy editors draw boxes that drift—detection models trained on traffic footage recover better than hand-tuned rectangles.
For moto and ski content, stack face blur on coffee-stop B-roll and plate blur on parking-lot intros in one project.
Capture tips
- Disable in-camera sharpening if highlights bloom plate characters.
- If you reframe in post, redact before crop so identifiers near the edge are not accidentally amplified.
