Face Detect is about much more than blurring out random faces. The addition of Face Detect combines the power of machine learning with the flexibility and sophistication you come to expect from Mocha.

Join Christoph Zapletal as he walks you through three very different use cases, starting with witness protection inside Adobe Premiere, continuing with beauty work inside DaVinci Resolve, and concluding with a motion graphics piece in Adobe After Effects.

Christoph will also showcase how Face Detect differs from traditional Mocha workflows.
