Video Blackout is Windows 10 and 11 desktop software that redacts faces and license plates in video. It auto-detects faces and plates, lets you add manual boxes, and burns a mosaic, blur or solid fill into a new H.264 MP4. Audio mute or beep ranges are marked manually.
The site describes it as 100% offline and on-premise, and the website takes no video uploads. Free is $0 with no account, for a single video up to 10 minutes with a large watermark. Basic is $29/month for 1 device with no watermark and a 10-minute limit. Pro is $69/month for 2 devices with batch processing and unlimited length. Annual is $450/year for 2 devices. Licenses are tied to hardware IDs, and checkout needs a signed-in account.
Cloud redaction tools mean sending sensitive footage off your machine. Video Blackout burns faces and plates into H.264 on a Windows PC, with nothing uploaded.
