16:22 This changed my life. I video cars and trucks as they pass by me and start the opacity mask where the license plate becomes visible. But it does not track well from this angle. So after watching your video. I updated the mask manually until the car was far enough away the plate was more rectangular. And clicked "track selected mask forward" from THAT point. That will save me all kinds of time. The mask tracking was only having problems as the plate was small and distorted. Thank you.
Great tutorial, in so many aspects. You explained and showed what to do, so well and educational. It was really interesting and just a joy to watch and listen to. Thanks!
I'm afraid not. Camtasia does have blurring of specific areas, you can even animate those and make them follow the video but it is a manual process or, at best, good for linear movement. Camtasia doesn't have tracking. It wasn't built for this kind of processing.
@@Graphicious I did notice with adobe 2023 that it's starts to process then stops. Most of the time it doesn't even start. I quit and start the whole program again and it starts a little then stops or doesn't even start. It's not a system usage issue. cpu & memory aren't being used much. any ideas?
Yes, you just remove the keyframes for the portions you don’t want and turn the intensity of the effect to 0 before the first keyframe and after the last
Thanks! Was a lot harder on my footage, so had to adjust most frames (maybe the colour of the car and numberplate weren't different enough). I would like to know though, how do I get rid of the blur on frames it's not needed for? I did the play forward tracking, and need to remove the mask from a certain point.
I have a question... When I want to mark a frame it only allows me to connect 2 points. What's the problem? Is there anything extra I need to keep in order to connect more than 2 points?
I see what you're saying. I didn't notice that. I guess you could slice the clip on the part where you don't want the mask and the tracking and simply remove them from it.
@@Graphicious That is a good idea, what I ended up doing is using keyframe to turn the blurriness down to 0% before the car came into the shot and then it went back up when it was being tracked but I think your idea would have been easier. Thank you for this video, it was very helpful and thank you for replaying so quickly to my question.
@@Arman2Dito Glad it worked out! I was going to suggest also turning the blurriness down on the keyframes but it sounds a little more fiddly than simply cutting the clip.
You have to stop the blur effect when you're done with it. There are a couple of ways to do it: - You can set the last keyframe to have zero blur. - Or you can just cut the clip there and then on the resulting piece of the clip you just remove the blur effect because it's applied on a clip basis.
I think you can but not in Premiere. You need to track the video / object and then anchor an object (logo/text) to that tracker. You need After Effects for that, as shown in this video: ruclips.net/video/Lg4ezHnuuRE/видео.html
That's odd, it works for me, I just tested it in the latest version of Premiere. Make sure your playhead is at the point where you want to start tracking. If your playhead is at the start of the clip, pressing the tracking will re-track the entire duration. If your playhead is at the position where it goes wrong, it will then only track from there and generate new keyframes. I had a situation where the tracking (I was tracking a plane in the air), was attaching itself to clouds, so for a few frames, until it went past that point, I manually adjusted the mask, and kept trying the re-track after that to the end of the clip. After a few adjustments and attempts, it managed to correct the tracking for the remainder of the clip.

Very good video and very clear explanation! thanks helped a lot!
Thank you, happy to hear this video is still helpful after many years.
There is a free app named video blur - auto blur in ios which does the same thing but it is free.
Good to know, thanks.
Awesome video. Do you know if this is possible in camtasia?
I'm afraid not. Camtasia does have blurring of specific areas, you can even animate those and make them follow the video but it is a manual process or, at best, good for linear movement. Camtasia doesn't have tracking. It wasn't built for this kind of processing.
Thank for this great tutorial 🙏🏻 you’re a lifesaver
Awesome, glad it helped!

Not sure what to suggest, it's probably something to do with the file format or resolution maybe? Premiere can be weird sometimes.
I got it working by doing it in chunks. It would start then stop processing. I would unselect, select & start it again. a LOT@@Graphicious
LIFE SAVER! Amazing video! Thank you so much!

Fantastic exactly what i needed :)

very good video, learned a lot. One question however, this option is not available in Adobe premiere pro CS6 right ?
I don't think so, I think it was introduced in Adobe CC.
@@Graphicious Thank you for the confirmation, I couldn't find that method on the cs6. your method saves a LOT of Time. really helpful
WOW! Great tutorial. It helped me a lot. Thanks!

Thanks for the great video - helped me mask my speedo on my bike
Great to hear! Thank you for watching.
Amazing! thank you so much
Thank you, glad I could help.
Hi, thanks for your video. Is it possible to apply the mask to just a specific part of the timeline when you press play? Let´s say just for 1min.
Yes, you just remove the keyframes for the portions you don’t want and turn the intensity of the effect to 0 before the first keyframe and after the last
@@Graphicious Perfect, thanks!
Another way is to cut and isolate the segment you want to apply the tracking/blurring to, and just apply to that. Use the Blade tool.
Thanks man, helped me out!
Glad I could help!
Thanks! Was a lot harder on my footage, so had to adjust most frames (maybe the colour of the car and numberplate weren't different enough).
I would like to know though, how do I get rid of the blur on frames it's not needed for? I did the play forward tracking, and need to remove the mask from a certain point.
You can add a couple keyframes before and after the area you need excluded and turn the blur off in that interval.
I have a question... When I want to mark a frame it only allows me to connect 2 points. What's the problem? Is there anything extra I need to keep in order to connect more than 2 points?
Are you using the polygon mask tool?
perfect, thank you
Glad it helped!
Thank you so much!!!
You're welcome!
Dude your amazing
I appreciate that!
at 8:22 you can see that the mask is in the video waiting for the car to show up, is there a way to hide the mask until the car shows up?
I see what you're saying. I didn't notice that. I guess you could slice the clip on the part where you don't want the mask and the tracking and simply remove them from it.
@@Graphicious That is a good idea, what I ended up doing is using keyframe to turn the blurriness down to 0% before the car came into the shot and then it went back up when it was being tracked but I think your idea would have been easier.

Love you bro great video
Thank you so much 😀
thank you so much
You're welcome!
Changes size and mask expansion doesn't get changed at all when I select the track forward...
Are you using the polygon mask tool?
im having the issue where the masked blured area just stays live on the video through out - even after the numberplate
You have to stop the blur effect when you're done with it. There are a couple of ways to do it:

Welcome!
What about stopping It. I only want the blur up to a certain point?
You can remove the keyframes from that point onwards and make the blur 0%
thanks!
No problem!
good work,
is that possible to add some text while car running on that car
like as car branding with logos and texts or a name on number plate area?
I think you can but not in Premiere. You need to track the video / object and then anchor an object (logo/text) to that tracker. You need After Effects for that, as shown in this video: ruclips.net/video/Lg4ezHnuuRE/видео.html
@@Graphicious Thank You
Thanks, just what I needed. Worked like a charm. Hit like and subscribe.
Thanks so much! Happy it was helpful.
8:30 Aaaand how to hide mask when car is not visible? Here mask visible over road and another car :(
You can move it outside of the screen with a keyframe, just before the tracking starts
What is the app call?
Adobe Premiere Pro
I faced this problem sirr... Please track the car number sir
That’s what I did. Did you watch the video?
There's a dacia in the clip
Yeah but it's not mine :D
You explained it well but it didn’t forward track it instead did the whole video. I have 2021
That's odd, it works for me, I just tested it in the latest version of Premiere. Make sure your playhead is at the point where you want to start tracking. If your playhead is at the start of the clip, pressing the tracking will re-track the entire duration.

You are most welcome
Hi can u help me someone hit my car and run I get the video but I can’t see the plate number it’s to blurry.
Not sure how I can help, if it's not visible or discernible if you zoom in, I don't see how one could add pixels that aren't there.
@@melissafelix5497 I'm prety sure thats impossible. Thats a fake trick im Holywood movies but thats all.
Thank you!!
You're welcome!
