Vegas Pro 17 Tutorial | How to Pixelate/Blur Out an Area!

[@VaibhavRahalkar]

it hurts to look at views .... you're sooooo underrated bro :( BTW great tutorial!!! :)

[@Nicktechnoo]

I appreciate the kind words :) for me it's not about the views really, I just love making content and if people watch it that's awesome! If not, well at least I tried and enjoyed making it haha

[@Eric_In_SF]

You don't have to split it track the copy and paste segment. Just select the segment and copy and when you paste it will only grab that section you had highlighted

[@BalazsiSzabi]

Wow, random comment with useful info, thanks! :D

[@juanbatista7040]

Pls Ive been looking for this for a long time and finally I found u!! You're literally a life saver. It kinda took a while to download but it still worked.

[@Hamentsios10]

Pretty straightforward and easy. Thanks, very useful guide.

[@jayc2469]

Thank you!!I just wasn't getting my head around it but in just under 8 minutes, you explained this about as clearly as it could *Ever* be explained!

[@TheHoffBro]

Thanks for the quick and easy censor guide you saved me like 20mins of confusing myself.

[@THEDOPESHOW_FrankMidnight]

Omg you're a hero man. I was so used to the built in FX in 14 "witness protection", I was shocked to learn that they took it out of 18 but this works perfect; I actually used the rectangle instead; but thanx so much.

[@BenruPrHD]

solo una cosa te dire: In Spanish and English! la mejor explicacion que he visto en este tema... The best explanation I've seen on this topic.👏👏👏🎬

[@steve8450]

thanks, good narration, concise and to the point with clear vocals and without unnecessary commentary/advertising

[@komba2675]

2 years later it still works perfectly fine, thanks for the tutorial!

[@collativelearning]

Excellent. Thanks.

[@dalediscoveries1137]

This was a great tutorial. Great job walking through every step and panning to where you're talking about!

[@dae1t117]

Thank you so much! Needed this for an R6 montage I'm making and it worked perfectly. You deserve more subs!

[@Queendreamer]

Your videos have helped me figure out this program. Easy to follow instructions. Thank you

[@HaelenHaagen]

For some reason I can't delete the Position at min 04:18... Thus when I add the pixelate Event, doesn't work...

[@TotalWeirdo101]

This might not make it to you on an older video, but I don't have the 'mask' button for some reason, do you know how to enable it? Great tutorial by the way!

[@SonicAlpha]

While I hope you have figured it out by now, this is more for the people also searching for the answer. There is no mask option if you have Movie Studio Platinum, it's a Pro feature. According to google, there are ways around it, but I'm still trying to get them to work 😤 EDIT: Follow the vid tutorial, but when it comes time to add/tick the "mask" use the "Cookie Cutter" effect instead, and position it where you want it (you'll have to mute the bottom vid layer to see what you're doing, don't forget to unmute it when you're done). Then add your blur effect. If your blurred area needs to move, follow Movie Studio Zen's video from 22 Jul 2011; it explains the additional steps a lot better than I could. It uses version 11 of Platinum, but the same principles apply for later versions too 😄

[@Puremindgames]

Thanks was trying to figure this out as a black bar was unsightly, it's so easy, but counter intuitive.

[@milesodonnol4456]

Good, clear explanation, and your delivery speed was perfect. I assume we are apply pixelation as a TRACK effect to the upper (copied) track. That coulda been clearer. Oh, a very small thing: When you set your mask area keyframe and delete the key at the start of the clip, you don't need to drag your new key to the beginning. Since it's now the ONLY key, it covers the whole clip no matter where it sits in time. Great job on the tut. It gave me just what I needed!

[@MacabreMandy]

I was struggling to figure this out because I wasn't aware of the mask option in pan/crop. Thank you!! :)

[@Mercyss]

thank you. Simple and straight to the point!

[@UncleRed]

Excellent stuff. Was scratching my head trying to use the cookie cutter function but so glad this is easier for me to use. :)

[@Xtennsion]

been binge watching these to get my editing skill up, if i ever get popular on KZbin ima shout you out! wouldn't be able to get there without you if i do lol

[@alpitu21]

I feel more educated now. Have a like.

[@mehakiqbal6476]

Thank you, I've been looking for a long time

[@LostandFoundClassics]

Thanks man! This worked great, I appreciate it!

[@darrenw.taylor2084]

Great tutorial! Thank you for not having a 35 minute intro! Good job man!

[@LuigiCotocea]

Thanks, this helps me improve my Sony Vegas editing skills further!

[@sekatyoukko69]

Many thanks for the very good and informative video. I may not thank you enough but these tutorials are so instructive and preicious for dummies like myself :D Keep those vids coming bro!

[@dedino5452]

feels good to learn something so neat so fast. Good video!

[@PBHorrorGaming]

Awesome dude, cheers

[@DaminRSW]

tl;dr because 8 minutes for this is ridiculous there is no bespoke fx in vegas for blurring a specific part of a video you have to copy the clip you want to blur, put it in a new video track above the base clip, crop it and blur *that*

[@am00gistar]

Thank you! really helpful. There were some things in that discord server that should not have existed

[@PredatorKingdom]

Thanks for explaining this and step-by-step as it was very easy to understand. This is gonna help me so much with the KZbin police. LOL!

[@Raumance]

Holy shit I was looking for this. The motion tracking just wasn't working and it's just banging my head against the wall but this is so easy.

[@Bulltahr]

Great one mate, understand completely. Subbed.

[@nooraldeen23]

[@JoshSuey]

[@Nicktechnoo]

Good ear!

[@BDOGreatSaiyanMan]

[@lowsky1]

Thank you very much it is easy guide and good thanks!

[@Evixyn]

This is heavily helpful, many thanks.

[@onescale]

i haven't been able to find where to enable "mask" below the position section in the edit event effects. besides that, everything seems simple and easy to understand.

[@spokesprocketadventure3544]

Great tutorial! Thank you so much 🙏 I'm just starting out my channel, and this was very helpful. Subscribed!

[@rahmhoa]

followed your vid step by step but when i come to the point of the pixel sliders the effect just does not take, i've tried pixel, blur and others and nothing happens. what am i missing? any thoughts appreciated.

[@WAFishQuest]

super duper helpful-- thank you!!

[@amitbhattrai7038]

Nice dude, Learning a lot from your channel

[@VtojeC]

Thank you. Such a simple thing to do, yet important.

[@craighousesounddesign5944]

Excellent tutorial. Thank you. I love Vegas but really only use it a few times a year so...much to learn.

[@sampletext5410]

Thanks, I have been wanting a tutorial on this

[@MarioKL]

Exactly what I needed. Thanks :)

[@265caps]

saved my life for a med school homework. thanks!

[@rafaelpulido3887]

Hi , thanks so much for your crack. It really works. But from the beginning it did not work for some reason, I updated visual studio and oh my god it worked. Thank you!

[@nabeelalsayegh]

I did defocus but i want to focus again after the clip. how do i fade it into focusing?

[@TheVirtualAirlinePilot]

Just seen your channel and I have subscribed! I use Vegas 20 now, but much of what I have seen here works with Vegas 20 as well. Now, let's say I have a video and in the top left corner I infrequently get a text appearing - that I would really like to get rid of, but NOT blur or pixelate, so that the video behind is unaffected. Now here in your example, you use the PIXELATE option to just blur out th selected part. But what option from the EFFECTS would you use so that text is removed, leaving the original video behind it unaffected? Or does this require a different technique? cheers - Lee (UK)

[@Distoh]

Thank you brother - you helped me a lot with this!

[@makimera]

thank you this helped me alot due to GDPR stuff

[@BennyBOnline]

Great video. Clear explanation and achieves the intended result. Thanks.

[@helltioeverygames]

Nobody said it but i will,the tutorial is perfect but there´s a problem,if you recorded a video using a cellphone in vertical position you cannot use pan crop because you already use it on a blur selection,sad,tiny detail but it doesn´t work with vertical videos i mean,it does work but when you try to make it full screen as an unboxing it messes things up.

[@TheDevStudioOfficial]

thank you so much this is really useful

[@JpCalague]

thank you for this very helpful tutorial

[@winstonmao4187]

Super Helpful!! Thanks a lot!!

[@QueenDerpy]

Sometimes it seems to crash while rendering either at 13% 43% or 99% aside from that it works like a charm

[@thetennisshakespeare]

awesome very helpful, liked and subscribed !

[@Solid_Snake99]

You're cracked man!

it's really work in the game, thx

[@pabloquaresmacandido8716]

It's working thanks my friend

[@xandersmit4841]

everytime i try this it just blurs my hole screen?

[@abofr8342]

Awesome vid ! thank you !

[@jmkand]

It looks great while I'm in Sony Vegas, but the rendered video has much less blur/pixels, so that whatever's "censored" shows through anyway. I can't get the finished product to look like the preview. Am I rendering in the wrong format or something?

[@DavidRidlen]

But how to blur a limited area across an entire timeline of many clips?

[@lifeofkai5320]

Great vid brother 💯

[@PuhoyOG]

Great tutorial, thanks! Blurred my secret shit real easy

[@dewinteryageu]

Easy to understand and helpfull, thank you.

[@proudtobesyrian574]

mine wouldn't follow not matter how I moved the anchors it was still fixated in the starting position and never followed edit: (apparently it only didn't work in the preview but after rendering the file it all worked out in the output video) thanks for the useful video

[@motebike]

Good tutorial. How can I edit a face to smooth out things like wrinkles, blotches, etc. Thanks.

[@pin0l33kz]

Thanks alot. This'll help me :)

[@frenky8047]

Very useful guid. Thanks

[@manelgomez3784]

Thanks man very useful!

[@windowlickerYT]

Thank you for this video!!!!!

[@sovereign721]

This the first tutorial video I watched that didn't work for me. Is there a difference in Vegas Pro 18?

[@alexjoseph330]

Great tutorial!

[@Edgeofdavid]

I right click and I don't see "insert video track" I only see insert audio track.

[@JuanchoHPC]

thank you, it worked for me

[@idk_021_]

easy simpe. thanks a lot

[@phoenixproductions2021]

I just get a white square around what I’m trying to pixilate. Nothing changes. Can’t figure out why that is.

[@RMGNEWSAUS]

i just tried again and would not pixelate ? did the hole thing and would not work? I've done it before and worked ?

[@z2cke]

Thanks, This helped me.

[@DetikFilem]

Thank you again !
