Add Blur Tasks

AVCLabs Video Blur AI provides multiple AI-powered blur tools to meet different editing needs, including Face Blur, Keyword Detection, License Plate Blur, Background Blur, Object Tracking, Fixed Position Blur, and Frame-by-Frame Editing.

For more precise control, Frame-by-Frame Editing allows you to manually create and adjust blur masks on individual frames. This is useful for handling complex scenes or areas that require fine-tuned blur adjustments.

To create a blur task, simply select the desired feature from the top toolbar. You can add one or multiple blur tasks to the same project and customize each task separately.

Edit the Blur Task

Once you add blur tasks, you can start editing each blur task.

1. Adjust Blur Task Range

To change the active range of a blur task, right-click the task track in the timeline panel at the bottom.

· Delete track: Remove the selected blur task from the timeline.

· Set range start (current frame): Move the playhead to the desired frame, then right-click the timeline and select "Set range start (current frame)" to define the starting point of the blur effect.

· Set range end (current frame): Move the playhead to the desired frame, then right-click the timeline and select "Set range end (current frame)" to define the ending point of the blur effect.

Use the Fit all button above the timeline to display the full timeline. This makes it easier to review the range of each blur task and check where the effects are applied throughout the video.

2. Select Blur Type

After selecting a blur task, choose the desired Mask Effect from the available options. You can apply different blur styles, including:

· Blur: Applies a soft Gaussian blur to reduce details in the selected area.

· Mosaic: Creates a classic pixel-block mosaic effect.

· Linear Blur: Applies a directional streak blur effect.

· Radial Blur: Creates a radial motion-style blur effect.

· Pixel Blur: Uses random pixel displacement to distort the selected area.

In addition to blur effects, you can also use other masking options, including Sticker, Local Image, and Solid Color to hide selected areas with custom elements.

Blur Base: When using a sticker, local image, or solid color as the mask effect, enable Blur Base to add a background blur underneath the mask. This helps prevent details from showing through transparent areas and provides better privacy protection. Adjust the strength slider to control the intensity of the base blur.

Add Object Removal Tasks

In addition to applying blur effects, AVCLabs Video Blur AI also provides an Erase feature that allows you to remove unwanted objects from videos.

The Erase mode is available in Keyword, Object Tracking, Fixed Position, and Frame-by-Frame Editing. You can use it to remove unwanted people, objects, logos, or other elements while preserving the surrounding areas.

To start an object removal task, select one of the supported blur features from the top toolbar, then switch the Mask Effect from Mask to Erase in the settings panel.

Edit Object Removal Task (Setting)

Then adjust the Erase Range to control the removal area and achieve the desired object removal result.

Preview Mode

When you add a blur or removal task, the program will automatically enter preview mode, allowing you to instantly see the effect applied to your video. To exit preview mode, click the "Cancel Preview All" button. You can also click the Eye icon next to each blur or removal task to preview its effect individually.

Start Export

If you are pleased with the applied blur effect, simply click the "Export Video" button located at the top right corner to start the export process for your video blur project.

To save time on future projects, click the "Export Mask" button to save this blur removal setup as a reusable template.
