Click on details. Click on editor. Move the scrubber on the timeline to the place where
you wish to blur. I want to blur these two people. Click blur, click custom blur. Move
the box over the people or the objects you wish to blur. Adjust the size of the blur box by just
grabbing the handles on the corners. If you wanna make it an oval shape, select oval. You can also
adjust this oval size. If you want to blur a different object in my video, I can just move
it over to that position. I can also change when the blurring happens by editing these timestamps
in the boxes. If I select track object, it tracks the object in the video to be blurred.
If I click fix blurred position, it prevents the blurred area from moving. This will make sure that
the blurred area always stays in the same place. If I want to blur multiple areas, just click the
plus sign, click Custom blur. I can then move the boxes to that particular area. I can select oval,
track the object, or fix the blur position. I can also adjust the duration of the blur by
moving this colored area to the right. If I wanna preview the blurred areas, just play the video.

Options. Click Revert to Original. This will remove all elements and edits from your video.
Click Revert to Original if you wanna make this happen. If you're happy with all the changes,
just click save. Keep in mind, it may take a few hours for your changes to apply after you've
saved the video. In the meantime, viewers will see the current version of the video,
and you can't make additional changes to the video. When you save the video, YouTube keeps
the original version of your video so you can undo your edits. You can download your edited video,
then upload it again to YouTube to publish the changes you made. This is a great tool for hiding
someone's identity or blurring information that you don't want the public to see in your video.
