dsdtx/video_license_plates_blur — reverse-engineered prompt

Build me a Python command line tool that automatically finds and hides license plates in dashcam, action cam, and motorbike videos.

I want to give it one video and get back a new video where the plates are blurred, covered with a solid color, or replaced with an image sticker. It should keep the original audio and try to keep the video quality as high as possible. Please use YOLOv11 style plate detection with sliced inference for small distant plates, and make it work well for motorcycle footage with motion blur, rain, tunnels, and weird camera angles.

Include a batch mode for processing a whole folder, a debug mode that draws boxes instead of blurring, options to process only a time range, filter for motorbikes or other vehicles, and always cover a fixed area for my own visible plate. Put the settings I might change in a simple config.toml file.

Also include setup instructions, ffmpeg checks, model weight download, and a basic training workflow so I can improve it with my own footage later.
