01
The expensive part is often the interruption
A privacy complaint is not only a blur task. It can pause distribution, consume a producer’s time, disrupt sponsorship timing and force a new upload. The same correction costs far less before publication.
Add a privacy gate to the same checklist used for audio peaks, captions and copyright. Assign one person to approve the protected export.
02
Separate detection from judgement
Automatic detection helps find visible faces consistently across long footage. The team still decides who should remain visible: presenters, consented contributors and background participants may be treated differently according to the production’s policy.
- Define approved on-camera contributors.
- Protect incidental subjects by default where appropriate.
- Escalate ambiguous scenes before release.
03
Make the final file the source of truth
Compression, reframing and overlays can alter the result. Review the actual file that will be uploaded, not only the editing timeline.
Store the approved export with a clear suffix and prevent uncensored masters from being selected by mistake.
Apply the workflow
Review real footage locally.
CensorFlow detects and tracks visible faces on your Windows PC, then lets a person correct and approve the result before export.
