Is it possible to intergrate this Adobe Video-Plugin with Magix MEP?

Hello, I would extremely love a plugin which AUTOMATICALLY detected & blurred ALL faces in video footage, and have discovered this one: https://aescripts.com/blace/

It was designed for use in/with Adobe, but I just wondered if it would also work with Magix?
*Or if there is a very similar one which would work with Magix / A platform where I can view all the compatible plug-ins that would work with MEP?

Worst case I will simply have to stop using MEP, and instead purchase Adobe AE | But hopefully there is a way this can be used with MEP?

Hi Apollo.

The link is not working for me.

Any effect for Magix has to be OFX compatible as far as I'm aware so no, the plugins for Adobe don't work with Magix programs.

For multiple faces moving around I don't think I've seen such a plugin.

Hello and thanks for your reply.

But no worries, that's a real shame as Adobe AfterEffects is extremely expensive (+ requires a monthly subscription)!
However I do need this software, so will have to purchase AE.

It can be done manually but is a lot of work requiring a track layer for each face to be blurred.

Yep that's what I have been doing previously (adding a blur in then manually attaching it to each face).

Ultimately though whilst that is fine for 1-face videos, a large number of the videos I need to edit each year are publicly shot, including dozens of faces at in every frame, for the entirety of the video.
*But due to platform regulations all the faces (apart from designated performers) need to be blurred).

I will keep Magix as my editor for other videos, but for these ones I will need to buy a subscription to Adobe AE. :/

I don't know if this is any good or if it will work ok in MEP but a lot of Newblue stuff does, might be more trouble than a month's sub to AE & the price of that Blace

Are you using this method of blurring/pixellating faces? You only need as duplicate the mask - click and drag - for as many faces as you need to blur and reposition them.
