Im using Premiere Pro (Beta) 

 

Dragging gaussian blur or even mosaic onto my clip and in effects controls to blur out a specific area in my clip, yet Im given no option to do so.  I've done this in the past many times and never had an issue.  Anyone that has an idea?  No plugins

Is there any way to use object mask and modify it?   I just want to blur a face, not the whole body, and track it from when the person comes into the camera until they sit down.  I used to be able to do this in the old setup, and have been banging my head against the monitor trying to do this with an ellipse on the face only - am I missing something here?

Since I had to get this done, I went back to Premiere 2025 to get my motion blur to work.  So in the beta, either I'm doing something wrong, or it doesn't work.   I could not get it to track the motion of the person walking into the frame an sitting down.  So any recommendations or pointing to a tutorial where it is done differently in the beta would be helpful.

To animate a mask you need to be in Frame mode not clip mode.
