What it is
A 10-minute Blender 2.7x tutorial by Mikeycal Meyers on blurring a moving face in the Video Sequence Editor. It shows how to draw a mask in the UV/Image editor, animate it with auto-keyframe so it follows the subject, and apply a Gaussian blur effect strip through that mask.

EDIT I'm using Blender's video editor to overlay an image on top of my video footage. The problem is, I need to mask (make transparent) certain parts of the image that are currently blocking part of the video at certain frames. I am able to create a single frame mask and apply it to an adjustment layer that works as exactly as intended by showing the underlying video. I was able to create an animated mask in the movie editor, but when I apply it to the adjustment layer the mask doesn't work at all. I compared the strip settings of both the single frame and animated masks and they are identical, both using Alpha Over as a blend mode. I followed this video tutorial [this video] (times 7:22 - 9:22)

Hello guys, I am editing my videos, I followed youtube tutorial: [this video] but I was thinking if it would render faster if face would be pixelated, like this: [LINK] or this: [LINK] @zeffii The link you posted is blur? I need pixels. Thank you

Hi i really hope someone can help me out with this: I'm trying to blur a section of my video, the part where my motorbike speedometer is, and basically i followed this tutorial on YouTube [this video] BUT the thing is that no matter what ,the section which get blurred(on the right) does not correspond to the section i selected(on the left) [LINK] Because i thought it was kind of a sync problem between the "actual" video and its "reference" video in the UV/editor i selected Start = 0 (in the UV/editor properties ) but nothing changed, also by selecting Offset = 0 too. So...what the hell is going on here? thanks! p.s. If you need more details just ask.
