You don\u2019t need expensive editing software to blur moving objects or faces in your YouTube video. You can get the job done on YouTube Studio right after uploading your video. The blur tool comes in handy when someone in your video decides that they want to stay anonymous, or if a brand doesn\u2019t want their name shown on screen. <\/span><\/p>\n

To blur an object, all you have to do is head over to your YouTube studio and edit your uploaded video in a few minutes. Here\u2019s how you do it.<\/span><\/p>\n

Step 1:<\/strong><\/p>\n

Click the top right corner of your YouTube homepage, on your channel icon. Click YouTube Studio from the dropdown menu.<\/span><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Step 2:<\/strong><\/p>\n

When you get to your YouTube studio, click the \u201cvideo\u201d tab from the left menu. A list of off the videos you\u2019ve uploaded will pop up.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Step 3:<\/strong><\/p>\n

Choose the video you want to blur. Hover over the video thumbnail and click the pencil icon that reads \u201cdetails\u201d.<\/span><\/p>\n

Step 4:<\/strong><\/p>\n

Now click the \u201ceditor\u201d tab from the left hand menu.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Step 5:<\/strong><\/p>\n

Select the \u201cadd blur\u201d option from the editing screen.<\/span><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Step 6:<\/strong><\/p>\n

Choose the \u201ccustomer blurring\u201d option and click edit. The blur editor should pop up.<\/span><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Step 7:<\/strong><\/p>\n

When you get to the objects you want to edit, just drag a box over the area you want to blur. If you blur more than one object in a frame, it automatically shows up as multiple layers on the editor down below.<\/span><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Step 8:<\/strong><\/p>\n

Drag the edges of these layers across the timeline to determine how long you want the blur to last in your video. For example, if the object you want to blur only pops up in your video frame for 5 seconds, you can drag your layers in the editor so that the blur lasts only for 5 seconds as well.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Step 9:<\/strong><\/p>\n

Once you\u2019re done editing the video, click done and preview the video. You now have three options:<\/span><\/p>\n
