Import Video

Add Fixed Area

Settings

It will also show the shape and time duration. When the settings are correct, we can click the "OK" button.

Drag Fixed Area

Then, change the tracking area to only cover the "demo." Randomly resize the coverage area. It will be simple to change what you desire.

Effect Settings

Then we tweak the effect, such as blurring the fixed area with the mosaic effect, and you can also change the opacity and blur level of this.

Blur is Done!
