Face blur not working.

[budbon]

I am using VSP X4. In trying to blur or pixelate a face in a video, I first copied the video from the main track onto the overlay track. I then added crop and with keyframes followed the face. I then added the pixelate filter and adjusted. It seems no matter how I adjust the pixelate sliders, the finished product is a very minimal blur and you can still identify the person (I am using a video of me for practice). I have left trancparency at zero in the Mask and Chroma key section. What am I doing wrong?

On the same topic, is there a way to hide the face with color rather than pixelate?

About the blur, unfortunately that's the best blur that you can get, you can try using the MOSAIC Filter or the AVERAGE filter

...Is there a way to hide the face with color rather than pixelate?

You can use the PIP or picture-in-picture filter as an overlay then containing a solid color then just move that overlay that will cover the face or the object that you want to hide.

That's just a suggestion, I bet others will have a better suggestion than this.

I think I found my trouble. I changed the chroma key color in the cropping options and got the desired effect.
