  Blurring isolated areas?

  Posted by Jbrd27 on March 13, 2007 at 1:23 am

  I was wondering is it possible to blur an isolated area of the screen? Such as they do in the show COPS where they blur only the head.

  I’m using premiere pro2
  thanks for any help

  There are at least 2 methods;
  1.Using a track matte is the most elegant but complicated…I have a video tut on bluring faces on my web http://www.video2stream.com

  2. Use a 4 point garbage matte; With your video on V1, duplicate it on V2, apply the garbage matte to the face on V2 and then apply a blur to V2.

  is this one of those deals where you have to constantly adjust where the matte is? I am thinking so. so do you go frame by frame or chunk by chunk?

  and is it easier to use After Effects or should I use what is in Prem Pro 2?
