Camtasia How to BLUR FACES in Camtasia | Motion-tracked

How to blur faces in Camtasia. In this quick tutorial for Camtasia, we look at how to hide faces or blur them in videos and also how to track the movement of the faces and move the blur along with the face to make sure the face stays hidden for the entire duration of the clip.

We don't need to just blur faces, but any object or portion of the screen, if we play with the animation a little bit and the blur annotation in Camtasia.

After importing the video you want to blur in Camtasia, you can use the Blur annotation in the Annotations area and add it to the timeline above the clip you want to blur on. If you want to have a stronger effect, you can increase the intensity of the blur, but if it's still too weak, you can always duplicate it, for a pronounced blur effect.

If the faces on your video are not static, make sure you first add a single blur annotation and animate it for the entire duration, so that the blur stays with the face. Use custom animation for this. In the video, I show a method to make the tracked blur move at a constant speed. After you have the blur successfully and precisely follow the face on the video, you can duplicate the entire blur annotation with the animation onto extra tracks, for a stronger blur effect, that will now behave the same way as the first one.
