Blace 2 V2.5.59 for After Effects and Premiere Pro

The Ultimate AI-Powered Face Detection and Anonymization Plugin

Download Blace 2 V2.5.59 today. Consequently, you can automatically detect and blur faces in your footage with just a few clicks, completely eliminating the need for tedious, frame-by-frame manual tracking . Because journalists, documentary filmmakers, and VFX artists frequently need to anonymize individuals in their footage, having access to a fast, reliable face detection tool is absolutely essential. Nevertheless, manually obscuring faces using rotoscoping or mask tracking can consume hours of valuable production time. Fortunately, Blace 2 eliminates this bottleneck completely. Moreover, the plugin runs entirely locally on your machine, ensuring your footage never leaves your computer and remains completely secure . In short, you can protect identities and ensure privacy compliance with unprecedented speed and peace of mind.

World-Class AI Detection Engine

The core of this plugin lies in its powerful artificial intelligence, which has been refined since the original Blace pioneered AI-based face detection in 2020 . Simply apply the effect to your clip, and faces are detected and tracked automatically without any manual keyframing or tracking points . Furthermore, you can fine-tune detection sensitivity using the Buffer Size and Threshold parameters. Buffer Size adjusts how small a face can be detected, while Threshold controls the overall detection sensitivity—lower values detect more faces but may increase false positives . Consequently, you can achieve a perfect balance between comprehensive detection and accuracy.

Comprehensive Anonymization and Styling Options

Once faces are detected, Blace 2 provides a wide range of obscuring and styling options to suit any project. For instance, you can choose Mosaic (pixelation) for standard privacy protection, apply Gaussian Blur for a softer anonymization, or use Solid Rectangle to place a colored box over faces . For creative projects, Outline mode draws a border around detected faces, and custom overlay layers let you replace faces with images, emojis, or other compositions . Additionally, you can toggle detection between full Face and Eyes only for precise control . Thus, you maintain complete creative freedom while protecting identities.

Masking Workflow for Advanced Compositing

Professional compositors require more than just basic blurring. Therefore, Blace 2 includes a robust masking system that outputs the detected face regions as masks . This allows you to use the detection data to drive other effects in After Effects—for example, color-correcting faces specifically, attaching graphics to faces, or applying custom effects only to detected regions . You can also use Include and Exclude masks to manually refine which faces are processed . Consequently, Blace 2 becomes an essential tool for advanced VFX workflows, not just privacy protection.

High-Performance Local Processing

Blace 2 is built entirely in C++ for maximum stability, performance, and security . There are no Python environments installed, ensuring reliable operation even in demanding production pipelines. The plugin is fully hardware-accelerated and maintains consistent rendering speed from Full HD 8-bit up to 4K 32-bit footage . A dedicated GPU version is available for NVIDIA users, offering significantly faster rendering, though a CPU version is also provided for compatibility on systems without supported graphics cards . Thus, you can enjoy a responsive, efficient workflow regardless of your hardware configuration.

Broad Compatibility and Flexible Licensing

Blace 2 supports After Effects and Premiere Pro versions 2021 through 2026 on both Windows and macOS . For Apple Silicon users, native support is available in versions 1.4.2 and above (macOS Big Sur or later) . A free trial is available without a license key, allowing you to test the full detection capabilities before committing . Licensing is handled through the aescripts + aeplugins Manager App, which also manages installation and updates . The plugin works seamlessly with the latest Blace AI framework, making it future-proof for ongoing development .

Perfect for Journalists, Documentarians, and VFX Artists

This plugin is particularly well-suited for journalists and documentary filmmakers who need to protect the identities of interviewees or subjects in sensitive footage. Similarly, VFX artists and motion designers will appreciate the advanced masking and compositing capabilities for creative face-based effects. Additionally, video editors working with public events or bystander footage will find the automated detection invaluable for privacy compliance. Ultimately, Blace 2 V2.5.59 accelerates your entire post-production and privacy protection workflow.
