How to Blur Region in Descript

Here's how to blur a custom region in Descript. Descript includes a Blur video effect that blurs the entire video. In this tutorial, I show you a workaround to allow you to achieve a regional or custom region blur on a video in Descript.
It involves a quick trick using sequences and the crop feature, but it achieves the desired result. Until Descript implements a region blur natively, this is a good way to do it and keep your entire workflow inside Descript.

Thank you, mind blowing that Descript has not introduced a simple fix for this.

@Graphicious Месяц назад

I think it looks simple on the surface, but behind the scenes, I'm sure it's no trivial task.

Great workaround, thanks Cristi!

You are welcome, hope it helped.

Hey man, great content, thank you! I realized recently that if I put the cta not at the end of the video but before the last point of the video, more people will see it. So for example let's say you have 3 points you want to hit in your video, you would go point1, point 2, cta (join the club), point 3 Just thought I'd share in case that's helpful.

@Graphicious 3 месяца назад

Thank you, that makes sense. However, I want to keep the video non-salesy for the most part.

Wow! I'm blown away by how differently our minds work. Most likely because you're a pro and I'm not, but I would have gone about that totally differently to get the same result. Having said that, you introduced me to sequences which is something I've not used, and do not understand. I went back through your descript videos and it appears you have not covered the topic. Would you consider making a tutorial covering sequences and how to use them? See I would have done all that work in the text. I would have made the scene boundaries where I needed them, copied the scene and pasted it on itself, cropped and blurred without ever touching the timeline. I avoid it at all costs unless I'm doing an animation. Which is probably why most of what you've shown seems so advanced to me.

Thanks a lot! I mention sequences in many of my videos but here is one where I show how to assemble it correctly from scratch: How to Correctly Assemble Multi-track Sequence in Descript ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-zYp4KsS4muE.html

This is very informative. Thank you for the cleverness and showing us some areas Descript needs improvement. I assume simply putting a rectangle shape over an area and changing the opacity doesn't really get the job done and/or did you just want to give us options?

@Graphicious 3 месяца назад

Glad it was helpful! That's true, simply adding a rectangle on top and changing opacity will not blur anything.

Imagine if descript had a zoom and follow mouse feature.

@Graphicious Месяц назад

I would be nice but then it would have to record in higher resolution to help keep the video crisp as you zoom in. Camtasia has such a feature to automatically zoom in areas where the cursor is focusing. It's not great, but can be used with little tweaks.
