  • Face tracking?

    Posted by Ptanna on October 5, 2005 at 10:32 pm

    Hello All,

    I work for CNN, and we have been trying to figure out a way to track faces so we can put a blur over them. Currently the blurring is being done frame by frame and it takes forever. Is there a fully or partially automated plugin or routine to put blurs on faces and having the blur follow where ever the face goes? Thanks for any responses.

    Can it even be done?

    You can track a contrasty point (or four), but not a face as such. The Pro version has a tracker.

    You know, since it’s a blur, and you don’t have to be precise, animating it manually could go rather quickly once you get the hang of it.
