In the past, I&#8217;ve always created blurs with masks, but this approach actually uses a shape in the title tool to isolate the blurred area of the frame.<\/p>\n<p>Once the blur is applied to the shape, you&#8217;ll add a position keyframe every few frames (or seconds, depending on the amount of movement in the shot). This will keep the blurred area centered over the face.<\/p>\n<p><a title=\"GeniusDV\" href=\"http:\/\/www.geniusdv.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" data-wpel-link=\"external\">GeniusDV<\/a> is a great site to bookmark, as\u00a0it is an excellent resource for <strong>video editing and post production<\/strong> training and tutorials.
