Hi there,

I have a video of a landscape and there is a house and garden present that I need to blur out. Obviously the house is not moving but the camera is so the position of the house changes as the camera pans around. How can I blur this house out and make sure the mask blur stays only on the house while the camera is moving?

I have looked for ways to do this on youtube etc but cannot find a definitive guide.

Many thanks in advance

Chris

Hi Chris,

I just skipped through the video... but it shows the basics of bluring moving object and that's what you are looking for:

If you are not pleased with the result, dig deeper into tracking. The build-in AE tracker is not the best. You may check out Mocha for this.

It would be also helpful to see a screenshot the your scene.

Kind,

Martin
