What does the depth tool do?

It figures out how far each pixel in your video is from the camera, then uses that to add three effects: 3D parallax camera movement, depth-of-field blur, and atmospheric fog.

Does it upload my video?

No. All processing happens on your device. Your video never leaves your machine.

How long does depth estimation take?

Typically 5-15 seconds depending on clip length and your hardware. A progress bar tracks the estimation.

What is the parallax 3D effect?

Parallax shifts background pixels more than foreground pixels based on an animated offset, creating the illusion that the camera is rocking or orbiting around the subject.

Depth Map

The Depth Map tool reads how far each pixel in your video is from the camera, then uses that information to add three effects. Parallax 3D shifts background and foreground at different rates to simulate camera movement. Depth of Field blurs out-of-focus areas based on distance. Fog blends distant pixels toward an atmospheric color. Runs entirely on your device, no uploads.

How to use Depth Map

Upload a video with a clear subject — interviews, street shots, product shots give the cleanest depth maps.
Wait 5–15 seconds while the AI model runs depth estimation on keyframes (tracked by a progress bar).
Enable Parallax 3D for camera-sway motion. Start at amplitude 12, speed 0.4, rock mode.
Add Depth of Field (focus 0.2, strength 0.4) for filmic foreground/background separation.
Add Fog at low density (0.2) for atmospheric haze, then click Export. Full-resolution depth is re-run before render.

Tips

Footage with a clear subject against a background works best — interviews, street shots, product shots.
Start with Parallax alone at amplitude 12, speed 0.4, rock mode for a subtle 3D feel.
For cinematic DOF, set focus distance to 0.2-0.3 and blur strength to 0.4.
Fog at low density (0.2) with white color adds a filmic atmospheric wash without overwhelming the image.
