Freeze the block, keep the clock running
Petrify clocks people in fixed-cam footage and ghosts them out, dropping a clean background still in their place while the timestamp keeps ticking live. Runs entirely on your own rig, no megacorp cloud, no net required.
What it does
- Wipes people from footage, keeps the live timestamp overlay running
- Use cases: privacy compliance, footage compression, space analysis, hazard detection, training-data prep
- Chrome-accelerated for Apple Silicon and NVIDIA GPUs
The rig
