  1. Click on the “Import” button.
  2. Select your video file.
  3. Drag the video onto the timeline at the bottom of the screen.

Step 3: Copy the Video

Next, we need to make a copy of your video:

  2. Choose “Copy.”
  3. Right-click again and select “Paste” to place the copied video on top of the original one.

Step 4: Apply the Blur Effect

Now, let’s add the blur effect to the video:

  1. Select the top video layer.
  2. Click on the “Effects” tab at the top of the screen.
  3. From there, click on “Video Effects,” then select “Lens.”
  4. Look for the “Blur” effect and apply it to the top video layer.

Step 5: Use the Mask Tool

We’re going to use a mask to make sure only the face is blurred:

  1. With the top video still selected, go to the “Mask” option.
  2. Choose the “Circle” mask.
  3. Adjust the size and position of the mask so it covers the face you want to blur.

Step 6: Preview and Save Your Video
