📌 Why this matters

Blurring faces protects privacy when sharing videos containing people who haven't consented to appear online, helping you avoid legal issues and maintain relationships. You can also use this technique to comply with platform guidelines, protect minors, or create professional content where faces might distract from your message.

The same method works for blurring sensitive information like license plates, documents, or street addresses. Since you're working with layers, you maintain full control over the original footage while selectively obscuring only what needs protection.
