Everything I film, everything I shoot, anonymised on my own machine

Hi everyone,

A while back I filmed an interview with someone who agreed to talk on one condition: nobody could recognise them. I had to stay visible in the same shot, it was my interview.
Simple request.
I couldn't find a single tool that did it without a fight.

That wasn't new. I'd been juggling apps for a while: one for faces in video, another for photos, nothing decent for a whole folder.
And every good tool ran through the cloud. To blur someone's face, I first had to upload their video, unprotected, to servers I didn't know, in a country I didn't choose, for a length of time nobody told me.
Those rushes had children in them, a witness who had trusted me, people who never asked to be there. The only way to protect them was to hand them over to a stranger.

So I built HideLens Studio.
