You'll have to make a 'shape' (rectangle for license plate) fill it (most likely white), lower it's opacity to where its translucent enough to blur the numbers and then keyframe it to track the movement of the vehicle. Toughest part is getting a smooth keyframe to both obscure the plate and not look took 'clunky' doing it.</p> http://videomaker.com/community/forums/topic/blurring-or-pixelating-car-number-plate#post-44699 Wed, 11 Mar 2009 20:56:41 +0000 bbcmon-tv 44699@http://videomaker.com/community/forums/ <p>Hi, I use Premiere Pro CS3 and Avid Pro. I have never had to disguise a car number plate before but it is necessary to do so in a documentary I am editing at the moment. Obviously, the rest of the screen image should be normal. Can anyone tell me how to do this please? Any advice gratefully received.</p> <p>Best wishes</p> <p>BBC</p>
