Blur faces and plates in iPhone video

Depth maps from Cinematic mode do not travel to every platform. Pixel-level blur in BGBlur works on the exported H.264/HEVC file creators actually upload.

Night mode ramps ISO; noise can look like texture on plates. Detection still finds high-contrast characters, but spot-check frames with aggressive NR.

For crowd shots at concerts, run face detection first, then decide whether plates matter in the same clip.

Capture tips

AirDrop the ‘Most Compatible’ export if HEVC causes downstream gamma shifts.
