As an aside, this example looks faked:

As in, the blurred background looks totally different (light:dark, shapes, etc.) to the unblurred background.

(I get that they’d need to do something funky to show blurred and unblurred backgrounds with the same foreground video, and faking it is likely easier than doing it programmatically, but this is just odd/sloppy.)



The left clip is an example of background blur.

The right clip is an example of background replacement.

This is why the blurred background on the left does not look anything like the unblurred background on the right.


The fact that you think that the blurred background example is fake is a testament to how well background replacement work.


Have you actually used it? In practice I wouldn't say it works at all really. The artifacts are terrible.
