    Premiere Element 9 Blur Something Out?

    waterworshipper Community Member

      Is there a way to deliberately blur something out in a clip in a movie I am making? Also how can I bleep out bad words? It's been a while as always I am sure I am posting in the wrong place right?

          There are a couple ways to Blur a moving object. The amount of work will depend on how much movement there is. This article on "highlighting a moving object," will apply, but one would Blur instead of adjusting an aspect, like Brightness, or Contrast: http://forums.adobe.com/message/4575874#4575874

           

          One could use a Blur, or perhaps a Mosaic.

           

          As for the Audio, one can use this article on Volume of Audio, or perhaps they would wish to do that, plus add a "beep" SFX to the area, that is "bleeped:" http://forums.adobe.com/message/5153895#5153895

           

          Good luck, and though each above linked article is not exactly what you asked to do, let your imagination run, and apply the Effects that you need.

            I am offering what I might try first...

             

            a. For blurring (used in the generic sense) something out of a clip, check out the Effects Mask. I  found this YouTube demo that seems to present a case for it, especially when the object to be hidden is not moving around too much.

            b. For the audio and words bleeping out, I would check out the Audio Mixer and just muting out the words when they present or putting a free bleep sound clip over the spot.

             

            Please update on your progress when you get a chance.

             

            Thanks.

                  Capt. Bob,

                   

                  I think that you posted to the correct location. I did not notice that this post was in the wrong forum, before the PrE Forum.

                   

                  Think that all is OK, unless I missed something.

                   

                  Good luck,

                      ATR,

                       

                      Thank you for that tutorial. Once, Curt Wrigley (author of several Adobe Classroom in a Book editions for Premiere Pro), had just the exact tutorial on his Web site. For reasons that I do not know, Curt closed down his site. Had I known, I would have found a way to host those tutorials. Though many were originally written/produced for earlier versions of Premiere, the mechanics still worked well, for both Premiere Pro, and Premiere Elements. I only wish that he had contacted me, before he ditched them - what a loss.

                       

                      I probably should get busy producing similar tutorials, and hosting them.

                       

                      Appreciated,
