Background blur for cinematic focus
Background blur is both an aesthetic and a privacy tool: it hides posters, windows, and personal details behind the talent without a green screen day.
Compared with a hard crop, background blur preserves framing and body language—useful for educators and corporate L&D.
Dial intensity to match your brand: subtle defocus reads “premium,” heavier blur reads “privacy-first.”

Example FAQ
Do I need a green screen?
No—AI segmentation estimates subject vs. background. Challenging hair lighting may need a quick tolerance check on exports.
Can I combine background blur with face blur?
Yes—stacking modes is common when both environment and incidental people need protection.
Will exports stay sharp on the subject?
The pipeline aims to keep subject detail while blurring only the estimated background region.
