Use glass blur to blur out something in a video, like a name, a number, or a face, by covering it with a blurred layer. It softens whatever shows through the shape without touching the layer beneath. Unlike the standard Blur effect, which blurs its own layer, glass blur is made to sit over a transparent layer and blur what’s underneath.
Glass blur is not secure redaction
The Glass blur effect is visual only and should not be used to obscure sensitive or private information. If you need to securely hide content, use a solid shape with 100% opacity instead.
How to add Glass Blur
- Add a layer from the Elements panel in the right sidebar.
- With the element selected in the scene editor, click Effects in the hover toolbar.
- Choose Glass blur from the effect list, then toggle it on. Adjust the amount of blur via the slider in the options menu
