For several years now, the “Bokeh” effect on Tik Tok has been especially popular. With this filter, you can add blur to the background of the video. Let’s take a look at where to find this filter and how to use it.
What is bokeh effect
Bokeh (blur) is a term coined in the late 1990s to describe the artistic blurring of the background in a photograph, which can be used to focus attention on the main subject. Everything that is out of focus is blurry, fuzzy. The Bokeh effect can be obtained using specialized equipment and programmatically in the form of masks in TikTok. 
In addition to photographs, this effect is actively used in video shooting. In particular, in Tik Tok Boke is added programmatically. Artificial intelligence technologies determine where the main object is in the photo, and where the background is, and blur it accordingly. Depending on the lighting, the video quality may vary.
