Advanced Depth-Based Defocus Editor

Apply Defocus

Edit focus after shooting based on depth data

Have you ever recorded the perfect video… only to realize the focus isn’t exactly where you wanted it?
Maybe the background is too sharp. Maybe the subject isn’t standing out. Or maybe you wish you could shift the focus to create a different mood entirely.

Imagine if you could change the focus after the video was already shot like directing attention with your creative intention, not just your camera’s hardware. That’s what the Advanced Depth-Based Defocus Editor does.

This powerful tool takes advantage of depth data a special map that many modern cameras (especially on high-end phones, mirrorless cameras, or depth-enabled devices) store alongside your video footage. Instead of guessing what’s near or far, the tool understands the actual physical depth of every pixel in your video. This means you can creatively refocus, blur backgrounds, or add cinematic soft bokeh after filming.

Whether you’re a filmmaker polishing a project, a social creator upgrading content quality, or someone who just wants better visuals this tool gives you studio-level control without reshooting.

Why Depth-Based Focus Editing Matters

Traditional focus editing is limited. You either focus during shooting or rely on static filters afterward. But real depth editing lets you:

🎬 Control What Matters Most

You choose which part of the video should be in sharp focus foreground, midground, or background even after filming.

🎨 Create Cinematic Looks

Professional films often use selective focus to guide the viewer’s eye. With depth editing, you can turn ordinary footage into visually striking moments.

🧠 Improve Storytelling

Focus isn’t just visual it’s narrative. It tells your viewer where to look, what to feel, and what matters.

📱 Fix Mistakes Without Reshooting

Missed focus during shooting? No problem. Adjust it now with precision.

How It Works

This tool uses depth maps special data that tells exactly how far each part of the image is from the camera. Some cameras automatically capture depth data. When available, this makes focus editing remarkably accurate.

Here’s how you use it:

1. Upload Video Footage

Just select your video file. This should be the clip you want to edit any standard format like MP4, MOV, or AV1 works.

2. Optional: Upload Depth Map

If your camera captured a separate depth map file, upload it too.
If you don’t have one, the tool can still estimate or use built-in depth data from supported devices.

3. Choose Focus Distance

Decide where you want the sharp focus to be:

• Foreground – for close objects

• Mid – for balanced, centered focus

• Background – for distant elements

This lets you direct attention exactly where you want it.

4. Select Defocus Style

Not all blur looks the same. Choose one of the creative styles:

• Soft Blur – gentle and natural, perfect for subtle portraits

• Cinematic – richer blur with depth layering, like movies

• Strong Bokeh – dramatic blur with round highlights and artistic feel

5. Click “Apply Defocus”

The tool processes your selections and applies precise depth-based blur using smart algorithms. Within seconds, you see a refocused result that looks like it was graded by a professional editor.

Features That Make This Tool Powerful

🔍 Real Depth Mapping

Unlike simple blur tools, this uses actual depth information, so foreground elements stay sharp while background elements blur realistically.

🎯 Creative Focus Control

You’re not limited to one setting you can tweak and reapply focus as many times as you want.

🎞 Cinematic Bokeh Options

Choose the intensity and style of the blur to match the mood you’re creating from soft ambiance to dramatic depth.

🪄 Fix Mistakes & Enhance Footage

Even if your original video wasn’t shot with focus changes in mind, this tool helps you improve it afterward.

📐 Precision Editing

Instead of guessing where blur should be, your adjustments are based on actual spatial data, not guesswork or filter effects.

Tips for Best Results

💡 Use Actual Depth Data If Available
When your camera supports depth capture (like LiDAR on some phones), upload the depth map results will be more accurate.

🎛 Experiment with Styles
Try different defocus styles. Sometimes soft blur suits casual videos, while cinematic blur elevates dramatic scenes.

📍 Check the Focus Distance Twice
Deciding foreground vs background focus changes the feel significantly take a moment to choose.

🔁 Reapply & Tweak
Don’t worry if the first pass isn’t perfect. You can always adjust focus and styles until it looks just right.

🌟 Preview Before Finalizing
Use preview playback to see how the changes feel over time especially if your clip has motion.

Why This Tool Beats Simple Blur Filters

Many editing platforms offer flat blur overlays, but they don’t understand depth. Flat blur treats the entire frame the same foreground and background both get fuzzy. That’s not realistic.

Advanced Depth-Based Editing uses depth intelligence to:
✔ Keep subjects sharp
✔ Blur only what’s behind or in front
✔ Reflect how real lenses work
✔ Preserve visual realism even with strong defocus

You get real visual depth not just a cosmetic filter.

Creative Inspiration to Try

🎬 Story-Driven Focus Changes
Begin with background focused, then shift to foreground to emphasize a reveal or emotional beat.

📍 Object Highlighting
Make specific objects pop by sharpening them while subtly blurring everything else.

🌅 Dreamy Effects
Use strong bokeh in scenes with lights like city nights for a dreamy, artistic look.

📹 Interviews with Dynamic Backgrounds
Keep the subject crisp while artistic blur gently softens background movement.
