v1.7.0
Video redaction is dramatically faster, and mosaics now fully cover close-up
faces.
Improvements
- Video processing is several times faster — a 3-minute 1080p clip that used to
take over ten minutes now finishes in under a minute - Blur redaction is no longer the bottleneck: it renders at a fraction of the
previous cost with the same visual strength - Mosaics on large, close-up faces are now properly coarse, so a face stays
unrecognizable no matter how much of the frame it fills
Details
- Blur now runs on a downscaled copy of each region and is scaled back up,
capping the kernel cost while preserving the same blur strength - The soft-edge feather mask is computed once per face size and reused across
frames regardless of position, instead of being rebuilt for every frame - The mosaic block count is capped so a face is always reduced to at most a
dozen cells across, keeping large faces obscured - Frame redaction runs in parallel across CPU cores, and encode writes overlap
the masking work, so both passes use the machine more fully
