Blur or pixelate the video
Go to the Shapes menu and add a square mask. Drag it over the area of the video that you want to censor and then select the desired effect. You can choose how long you want the effect to remain on screen by dragging on the mask item on the timeline.

Why use Flixier to blur or pixelate parts of a video?
Protect sensitive data
When you’re recording screencasts, you might want to keep some sensitive information that appears on screen away from your audience. Blurring or pixelating it is the perfect solution!
Hide people’s identities
When filming in public spaces, you can’t always get everyone’s permission to appear on camera. You can use our tool to blur their faces and protect their identities!
Apply grayscale, sepia or inverted filters
Applying other filters, like Grayscale, Sepia or Inverting colors is just as easy as blurring your videos!
Get the job done quickly and easily
Flixier’s intuitive interface makes it easy for you to do what you need to without having to waste time watching hours of video editing tutorial videos online.

I'm so relieved I found Flixier. I have a YouTube channel with over 700k subscribers and Flixier allows me to collaborate seamlessly with my team, they can work from any device at any time plus, renders are cloud powered and super super fast on any computer.

My main criteria for an editor was that the interface is familiar and most importantly that the renders were in the cloud and super fast. Flixier more than delivered in both. I've now been using it daily to edit Facebook videos for my 1M follower page.

I’ve been looking for a solution like Flixier for years. Now that my virtual team and I can edit projects together on the cloud with Flixier, it tripled my company’s video output! Super easy to use and unbelievably quick exports.
