GOT QUESTIONS?

Frequently Asked Questions

How is variable intensity blurring different from normal blur?

Normal blur applies the same strength everywhere. Variable intensity lets us control blur strength per layer, object, or even pixel area — giving you much more natural, cinematic, and intentional results.

Do you work with video or only images?

We specialize in both. Most of our work is on video (4K/8K, high frame rate), but we also handle still images with the same level of precision and control.

Can I control the intensity levels myself?

Yes. During the review stage, you can request specific intensity adjustments on any part of the video or image. We work iteratively until it matches your vision.

How long does a typical project take?

Most projects are delivered within 2–5 business days depending on length and complexity. Rush options are available for urgent work.

Is my footage kept confidential?

Absolutely. Every project is protected by strict NDA. Your files are stored securely and permanently deleted after delivery unless you request otherwise.

YOUR CONTENT IS SAFE

Security & Privacy

We understand that the content you send us is often sensitive. Your trust is our top priority.

Strict NDA Protection

Every project is covered by a comprehensive non-disclosure agreement. Your footage never leaves our secure systems.

Enterprise-Grade Security

All files are stored on encrypted servers with strict access controls. Only the assigned editors can view your project.

Secure File Deletion

Your original and edited files are permanently deleted from our servers 30 days after delivery (or immediately upon your request).

THE SMART CHOICE

Why Professional Variable Intensity Blurring?

In 2026, AI tools can apply basic blur. But they can’t deliver what professional variable intensity blurring offers.

❌ AI & Free Tools

• One-size-fits-all blur strength

• Risk of data leaks on free platforms

✓ Professional Variable Intensity

• Expert tracking on any camera movement
• Cinematic, emotionally powerful results

When your video needs to look world-class — not just “good enough” — professional variable intensity blurring is the clear choice.
