What's Video Effects SDK?

The Video Effects SDK is a sophisticated software development kit that allows developers to add real-time AI-based video processing to their applications. It is designed to provide a professional look and feel for video call conversations without the need for high-end hardware or expensive studio equipment.

One of the most significant advantages of the Video Effects SDK is its broad platform availability. It is accessible across all major environments, including:

• Web (WebRTC support)
• Windows
• macOS
• iOS
• Android
• Linux

Based on advanced AI technology, the Video Effects SDK is optimized for both speed and quality, ensuring that users can enjoy cinematic and high-definition video even on standard webcams.

Features of the Video Effects SDK

The Video Effects SDK offers a robust suite of tools that cater to both aesthetic and functional requirements during video communication.

1. Blur Background

The Video Effects SDK can automatically blur the actual background in a webcam video stream. This feature allows users to configure the power of the blur function at runtime, providing flexibility based on the user's preference for privacy or focus.

2. Replace Background

Add more fun and creativity to communication by replacing the background with any custom image or video at runtime. This feature within the Video Effects SDK is perfect for maintaining a consistent brand image or simply hiding a cluttered workspace.

3. AI Denoise

Low light environments often result in grainy video. The Video Effects SDK includes an AI Denoise feature that removes digital noise from webcams, making the video clearer and significantly improving the overall quality.

4. Skin Smoothness and Beautification

Enable real-time face beautification with fast and accurate performance. The Video Effects SDK allows users to remove acne and eye bags while smoothing the skin and adding softness to the light. This ensures users look their best in every meeting.

5. AI Color Grading

Achieve a professional and cinematic look during real-time video meetings. The Video Effects SDK allows for the adjustment of colors, proper exposure settings, and the achievement of perfect contrast and saturation temperature within a single solution.

6. Intelligent Camera Framing (Zooming)

This feature uses facial tracking and motion detection to automatically follow the person in the frame with a predefined zoom level. The Video Effects SDK intelligently combines digital camera zoom with AI tracking to keep the speaker centered and engaged.
