Try this.
Although my sample effort is not that spectacular is was knocked together in about 10 minutes. with a bit of time and effort you should be able to tweak it so that it is much better.

The sample I have used is of my wife bobbing about in a helicopter, I wouldn't think the number plate you are trying to disguise will be bobbing about as severely as the sample I have used.

Firstly download this small zip file and extract it so that both files are located at
c:\Projects\blur01.vsp
c:\projects\blur02.vsp

Edit: VSP file for VideoStudio 9 users here.

Now download the file 03.wmv from this link
http://www.mediamax.com/sjj1805/Links/21ED3FFB34

Please do not at this time download the other files.
My MediaMax account allows me to share 1GB of stuff per month and every time someone downloads something it eats up a bit of that 1GB.

Place it in the same directory as the two vsp files above
c:\projects\03.wmv

Now open VideoStudio and then open blur02.vsp

Briefly what I did was to take the clip of my wife and place two filters onto the clip to act as a mask. This was then saved as blur01.vsp.
I then started a new project and placed the same clip onto the timeline with the modified clip on the overlay track.

An alternative method of blurring out faces, number plates and so on involves the use of a photo editor such as PhotoImpact or Adobe Photoshop.

Number plates are the License Plates attached to motor vehicles. It is common for television documentaries to blur out these plates.

I dont understand how that gonna help me.

I have provided you with two completely different methods.
For the first method I have supplied you with sample vsp files that you simply download and then open with VideoStudio so that you are able to see exactly what I did and what was used.

very good chap, it took me 4 hours to download the video my 28k connection a bit slow mind you, think of buying a new 57k modem

sjj1805 · Post by **sjj1805** » Sun Jul 08, 2007 7:06 pm

O my God.... a 28k Modem!!

I would suggest that when you upgrade you consider Broadband rather than a 56k modem. The monthly charge for Broadband with my internet provider
Virgin Cable (Previously Blueyonder) is about ¢G1 per month different to a Modem connection with them.
