Default Blocking out a face on a video ??

Say I wanted to post a video of me doing something really cool, but didnt want my face online, how would I edit it ?

Dunno if this should be in the computer section, but I'm guess some of the video experts don't look in there ?

I haven't seen nice facilities in the cheaper editing tools to allow something like a face to be tracked and pixelated, although I'm no doubt they exist in the more expensive tools.

The long way is to de-compress the video to a series of JPEGs, edit each and recompile, but at 25 frames a second or so, I wouldn't want to do a very big film!

The other alternative? re-shoot the film with a paper bag over your head

If it's "cool" why do you want your face covered?

Play the tape on the telly and set up your camcorder in front of the telly.

Then with a bit of paper with a fake face. hold it over your face on the telly.

This might help you with the disguise

The perfect disguise

Job is indeed a good one

Can you not track a blur shape to your face using a program like After Effects?

Forget the exact term as it has been a while
