Video Blackout

Video Blackout is a Windows desktop application for redacting sensitive video without uploading footage for processing. On-device AI proposes face and license-plate regions, while manual boxes handle missed identifiers. It exports a new H.264 MP4 with redaction written into the image pixels. The verified public workflow includes on-device face and plate detection, manual redaction boxes, manual mute or beep ranges, burned-in h.264 mp4 exports. Potential applications include prepare bodycam release copies, anonymize CCTV footage, redact video for records requests. Its practical advantages are footage processed locally and permanent redaction in exported pixels. Important limitations: windows only; detection requires review; audio marking is manual. Free watermarked tier with single videos up to ten minutes; paid device-bound subscriptions enable clean exports and higher-tier batch processing. Public website verification establishes these advertised capabilities and restrictions, not an independent benchmark of output quality. Review generated results before publishing or relying on them, and use only source material you are authorized to process.
