Blur students in school play and concert video
Wide stage shots make release tracking impossible mid-edit. Run face detection first, then let directors approve who stays sharp for soloists with paperwork.
Why teams use BGBlur here
- Batch Saturday matinee and Sunday upload deadlines with queue-friendly exports.
- Keep lighting and costumes authentic—only faces drop to Gaussian or pixel masks.
- Offer a ‘director’s redacted cut’ and a stricter ‘district legal cut’ when policies diverge.
FERPA and local policies interact; this is technical guidance only—your counsel sets the bar.
When microphones pick up full names from stage, pair video blur with audio edits.
