The process we just described can hardly be called simple or easy, even though experienced video editors shouldn't have any difficulty applying it. Part 2: An Easier Way to Blur a Face in a Video with Filmora You can repeat this process if the subject in your video changes the on-screen position more than once in order to make sure that its face stays covered throughout the video. Once more you will be able to see a rectangle on the preview screen, adjust its position and move the mask to the position at which the object's movement ends. Four more keyframes should be added at the position where the object's on-screen movement ends, and then you need to right-click on the original video clip, go to the 'Effects Mask' and select edit. Afterwards, you need to find the position on the timeline where the face leaves the 'Effects Mask' you already applied and set four keyframes at that position. Place the playhead at the beginning of the video and add keyframes on each of the four corners of the video by clicking on the 'Add/Remove Keyframes' button. Next, to the Keyframe timeline you will be able to see 'Top Left', 'Top Right', 'Bottom Left' and 'Bottom Right' options and located next to it you'll be able to see 'Add/Remove Keyframes' button. These actions will enable you to see four keyframes on the keyframe timeline, each keyframe represents a corner of the preview window. In the next step, you need to click on the 'Toggle Animation' icon, which looks like a small blue stopwatch located at right corner of the 'Mask' effect and then extend the 'Mask' effect so you can see the effect settings. In order to avoid this, you need to head back to the 'Applied Effects' panel and click on the 'Show/Hide keyframe controls' icon located on the top of the panel. Once the person moves, it will go out of the blurred area of the frame and the face will become visible once again. People in videos are rarely perfectly still, which means that the 'Mask Effect' you just applied will only work for a single on-screen position.

You can also use the 'Mosaic' effect equally effectively because all you need to do in order to apply it is to go to the 'Effects' tab and drag and drop it to the original clip. If the amount of 'Blurriness' provided by the slider isn't enough to cover the face, increase the 'Blurriness' value on the number located above the slider. Click on 'Effects' button on the Action bar and look for blur effects such as ''Zoom Blur', 'Gaussian Blur' or 'Fast Blur', and drag and drop the Gaussian Blur to the original video clip.Ĭlick on the 'Applied Effects' button to adjust the' Gaussian Blur' effect settings and increase the 'Blurriness' as much as necessary to blur the face. A rectangle will appear in the preview window, drag it over to the face you would like to blur and adjust the rectangle's size by dragging one of its corners so it covers an entire face.Īfter applying the 'Effects mask' you will see that a new video clip or the so-called 'Adjustment Layer' is now positioned over the original clip in the second video track. Right-click on the video clip, select the 'Effects mask' option from the drop-down menu, then click on the 'Apply' feature in the sub-menu.
