blur a face out

[Zach Lien]

hi- how would i go about blurring someone's face out? just a single persons face. thanks

There are several ways to do it. Duplicate the track, blur the entire top truck, then use a bezier mask to crop the top track only to the person's face.

Or, create a third track on top of the blurred track, create media so that you have a black card with a white circle which would overlay the person's face, and create a parent-child composite mask.

Or, create a garbage matte around the whole person.

Lots of options.
