Blur anything: logos, text & custom regions
Blur logos, on-screen text, and custom objects—not just faces and plates—in one selective pass.
Sponsored hoodies, shipping labels, Slack notifications, and warehouse SKU tags are not covered by face detectors alone. This example uses the multi-blur CloudFront clip to show region-aware redaction.
Redact logos, text, and custom regions in video
Agency editors, DevRel teams, and tutorial producers use this when PII appears outside faces and plates.
Upload screen or walk-and-talk footage
Import clips where the sensitive element is not a face or plate.
Draw or select regions to blur
Target badges, monitors, license stickers, or competitor logos that move through the shot.
Verify motion and export
Scrub the full timeline—notifications and lower-thirds often need a second pass.
Minimum-necessary visibility
Compliance teams often want context without readable identifiers. Selective blur keeps the warehouse aisle visible while hiding pallet labels—better than blurring the entire frame.
Sponsorship and brand safety
Swap competitor logos on apparel before a brand publishes a reaction video. Pair with face blur when the creator’s face and the logo both need treatment.
Screen recordings with PII
Tutorial captures expose email toasts and customer names in side panels. Region blur handles UI elements detectors miss—critical for DevRel and customer-success walkthroughs.
Complements automatic modes
Run faces and plates first, then paint regions for the leftovers. One browser export beats round-tripping through After Effects for a ten-minute social cut.

Frequently asked questions
- Is selective blur slower than full-frame effects?
- Complexity depends on resolution, length, and how many regions move; shorter QC passes still beat manual roto for most social timelines.
- Can I use this for GDPR-style minimization?
- Technical minimization helps; legal interpretation is always context-specific—document your process with counsel.
- Does it replace manual review?
- For high-stakes releases teams still benefit from spot checks—AI reduces workload rather than eliminating accountability.
