Blace 2

Blace 2 builds upon our AI framework used by all other plugins to make Face Detection future-proof. It is compatible with Blace license keys and works an all recent AE versions. If you want to use the old version, download the installers from Blace. We are continuously porting missing functionality (like include / exclude masks) over.

Parameters

Detection Confidence

The lower this value the more potential faces are detected at the cost of accuracy (non-face objects might be detected as well).

Output

Draw the results as either black boxes, blurred pixels or rectangles.

On Alpha

Draw the black boxes on alpha to use them as a downstream keying matte.

Size

Increases the detection size.

Smooth Border

Blurs the detection border.

Backend & Performance

Hardware Acceleration (on GPU version of the plugin only)

Run calculations on the GPU. This will give massive speedups compared to CPU mode.

Lower Precision

Compute with reduced precision if possible. This can save up to half of the memory and give you some speedups at the cost of sometimes slightly reduced quality.

Optimize for low VRAM

Enabling this will make sure only the ai model parts which are needed for computation are kept on the GPU. This might lower VRAM usage under some settings at the cost of moving ai models in and out of GPU memory.

Samples (not available for all settings)

The number of ai samples to calculate. This will improve the models accuracy.

Parallel (only available if Samples > 2)

This will render all samples at the same time (faster), if disabled computation might be slower but require less VRAM.

Computation Tiles (not available for all settings)

Split the computation into several tiles. This can help if you run out of memory.
