censored... mosaic effect?

Post by stannmaple »

Is there any way in video studio to do a "censored" effect? Like the mosaic, but it only blurs one part of the video? Or do a black sign that says "censored." It is for a bit of comedy. Thanks

How to censor video clips with Ulead VideoStudio 10

Post by alexba »

I have used two methods to create a censor effect.

Apply the Cropping Video Filter to a video clip that needs to be censored or cropped. Once you have applied the filter, you can customize its movement found under the Attribute Tab. Click the Customize Filter icon and make the adjustments as needed.

If the censor does not need to move, just put a color on the overlay track and adjust the color for time length needed and size. Use the Mask Frame under the Attribute tab to select one of the frames to make your censored area a bit more fancy.

Use the Overlay track manager to put more colors or images on the various video tracks to put multiple censors anywhere else on your clips. You can have five more overlay tracks to play with in VS10.

Since you can use color, images, or video on your overlay tracks you can create special effect such as a screen divided into various videos just like the effects used on the opening and closing montages of TV shows such as 24. Another handy use is to make a Picture-in-a-Picture clip to show simultaneous views from two or more camera angles. This could be considered a type of censor too because some of the original clip is covered.

To a sample clip I created with the moving censor:
