Our major interest here is to blur the background of the video where someone appeared.
To achieve this you will need to;
- Click on Overlay
- Select the same video you are editing
- You will notice that you already have two same videos imported to your timeline.
- The next thing you’ll need to do is to remove the background of your overlay.
- Removing the background will make the human being(s) in the video appear in a transparent video deleting every other thing in the background.

- A closer look will tell you that the background of your video was successfully blurred while your actors remained the way they were.
