That video that you linked to is a bad video. Yes, I know that it’s on our website, but it’s still not a good introduction to how to do this kind of thing.

Here are a few much better videos that show how to do this kind of thing:

https://tv.adobe.com/watch/learn-by-video/adobe-after-effects-cs5-motion-tracking-and-rotoscoping/
(This shows a color-correction effect, but the same technique could of course be used for a blur, etc.)

I’d render to the disk that you intend to use for storage. A mechanical disk’s speed and the relatively slow connection to the external disk shouldn’t be a problem for a single stream of video going out.

The media cache should be on the same big SSD as your disk cache. Don’t forget to clean the media cache out when you’re done with a project and ready to move to the next one.
