While YouTube may not have a problem with you uploading videos of strangers, distributors definitely will. Many distribution companies require their productions to have not only actor releases for everyone in the film, but also\u00a0errors and omissions insurance<\/a> just in case a logo or face slips into the final film. So, if you’re trying to protect your film by blurring out a face or get rid of a logo, just check out these helpful tutorials.<\/p>\n

Blurring a Face in After Effects<\/h3>\n

Created By:<\/strong>\u00a0eHowTech<\/a><\/p>\n

In this video tutorial we take a look at how to blur someones face using the mosaic effect in After Effects<\/strong>. With this same technique you could also do a more traditional blurred-out face by using\u00a0a fast blur instead of the mosaic effect. It should also be noted that\u00a0this tutorial uses a tracker to track the face. I would recommend the tracker if you are trying to get a perfect blur effect. But if you don’t have time, you could also simply keyframe an adjustment layer by hand.<\/p>\n
