Blace 2 earns its place in the toolfarm library as an AI-driven take on a common compositing and editing task: detecting and blurring faces automatically. Originally released in 2020 as the world's first AI-based automated face blurring system, it now extends to human body detection and runs even on CPU-only systems.
Blace 2 - AI Face Detection & Blurring is an AI-based plug-in for After Effects and Premiere Pro that detects and blurs faces automatically for compositing and editing. Originally released in 2020, it is described as the world's first AI-based, automated face detection and blurring system.
Apply the plugin and faces get detected instantly, while a few intuitive settings give control over the detection. Blace 2 can now detect and blur human bodies as well, and it runs with high performance even on CPU-only systems. It offers full 8-, 16- and 32-bit support, and its detections can be used to control other effects, such as a custom blur.
Blace 2 supports After Effects and Premiere Pro versions 2021 through 2026. Owners of Blace 1 can update for free by registering the plugin with their existing license, and Blace 2 is compatible with the developer's other plugins.
Blace 2 - AI Face Detection & Blurring is best for automatically detecting and blurring faces and human bodies in After Effects and Premiere Pro during compositing and editing.
Blace 2 - AI Face Detection & Blurring is completely free to download and use.
Blace 2 supports After Effects versions 2021 through 2026 and Premiere Pro versions 2021 through 2026, so recent releases of both applications are covered. It is a plug-in for these hosts, used for face detection and blurring in compositing and editing. Because supported versions can shift with newer releases, check the developer's documentation for the full compatibility details before installing.
Blace 2 is built to run with high performance, including on CPU-only systems, so a dedicated GPU is not required for it to work. Its changelog also notes accelerated rendering of large resolutions above 4K on CUDA through a CUDA Memory Sharing option. Beyond raw speed, the plugin is fully automatic: applying it detects faces instantly. For the complete hardware support matrix and any recommendations, refer to the developer's documentation.
Blace 2 is free to update to for existing Blace 1 owners, who simply register the plugin with their current license, so there is no separate purchase for the upgrade. Blace 2 is also compatible with the developer's other plugins again. As a tool, it provides AI-based, automatic face and human-body detection and blurring for After Effects and Premiere Pro. This catalog lists Blace 2 as free; for current licensing terms and any conditions, check the developer's page.
Blace 2 can detect and blur human bodies in addition to faces, with a person-detection mode added in a recent update. Its detections can also be used to control other effects, such as a custom blur, rather than only applying the built-in blur. Applying the plugin detects faces automatically, and a few intuitive settings give full control over the detection for compositing and editing work.
