Questions
- Will the text still be readable if someone pauses the video?
- No — the blur is baked into the rendered file at the strength you choose. Crank the slider until the preview is unreadable; what you see is exactly what renders.
- The camera moves a lot — does the blur keep up?
- Yes, the tracker follows the tapped surface through pans and handheld shake. For hard cuts to a different angle, add one reference tap on the new angle.
- How much does it cost?
- One credit covers one minute of video, and you get 3 free credits at signup — no card needed. Packs start at $9 for 15 minutes.
- What formats can I upload?
- MP4, MOV, and WebM, up to 5 minutes per video. The result downloads as MP4 with the original audio kept.
- What happens to my video afterwards?
- Your uploads are private to your account. Deleting an edit from your history also deletes the rendered result — and the uploaded video itself once no other edit uses it.
- What if the edit tracks the wrong thing?
- Re-rendering the same video within 24 hours is free (up to 3 fix-it renders per edit), so correcting a track never costs extra credits.
