How to Blur a Face and Change a Voice in Premiere Elements

Use this technique of blurring the face and changing the voice to protect the identity of your on-screen subject.

Face Blurring

• Right-click on video clip in timeline
• Select Effects Mask > Apply
• A new clip layer will appear on the upper track.  This is called the "Adjustment Layer".
• A rectangle box with 4 circles at the corners will appear in the preview monitor.
• Adjust the position and size of the rectangle to cover the face by moving the circles.
• Go to Effects tab in the action bar and choose the Gaussian Blur.
• Drag and drop Gaussian Blur effect onto video clip in timeline.
• Inside Applied Effects, adjust amount of blurriness.

Advance
