Blur or black out portion of video

Does anyone know how I can blur or black out a portion of an image in a clip? I've got a guy with his company name on the back of his jacket, which he wants to blur out, but the rest of the clip is good. I have no experience with doing this. I am using Final Cut 6. Can someone please help me?
thanks!

you can also search the forum for COP BLUR and similar terms, we see the question at least once or twice a week.
If you need to do this often or with precision or elegance, you probably will want a Cop Blur filter package for Motion. Does anyone have a master list site for all plugins being made for Motion? You may find these helpful

Blacks out after playing video

My ipod blacked out after playing a video I downloaded from Itunes music store. Not responding, does anyone know how to solve this?

There is no screen event triggered when the video finishes playing that you can use to jump to the next slide or unhide a button to enable the user to navigate forward at a time of their own choosing.
If you know the duration of the video, you can place a navigation button on the timeline at that point so that it appears just after the video finishes playing. However, you may find that on different PCs with different system specs the video may take slightly more or less time to play.

Photos blurred or blacked out

Hi,
Having a bit of a crisis with my iPhone 4, on iOS5
Today I took a series of photos, I think about 30 or so, including some video. I took a mix using the from lock-screen option, and some direct through the photo app. At lunch I took some more photos and noticed that some of the pictures were blacked out in the camera roll thumbnails. I thought this was odd, so restarted the phone, and then saw that all the photos from today were blacked out.
The photos themselves are blacked out too, trying to email them to myself seems to crash the camera roll, or load an email with the blue ? box of a non-image. I've taken a few photos since then, some have worked and stayed in the roll, some have been very blurry, and some have disappeared. I can't even take a screenshot as that dissapears too.
Having done some searches on this, only seen people discussing it with iOS4 or to do with issues after a synch - I've definitely not synched it and it is on 5.
Thanks in advance,
Jon

jon.stokes,
Had a very similar problem. Mine were either blacked out or heavily pixilated. I did the following and it worked. Hope this helps you.

The only thing that I would add is when I first did this, when it said to reset I did a Lock/Home reset. When I opened photos they were the same and when I opened iExplorer the files were still there. So I deleted them again and did a soft reset and when my phone came back up I opened my Camera Roll and in about 5 seconds all my photo's were there and you could view them like normal. Very easy and you do not have to restore your phone!!!

Black Out Certain Portion Of The Video

I am super new to the Final Cut Pro X. I have a very simple question. I want to black out or remove a certain portion of the video without cropping that part. Below is an example image from the video:
You can see a blue text on the left top corner. I want it gone without cropping it. It should be black like the area behind it. Can somebody guide me how i can acheive that. Thanks!

Add a black custom generator above the clip.
Adjust the shape and size and then move it over the date.

I have a problem with FF 4.0b8 and Adobe Flash player where portions of the YouTube page or FF window will black out when I move my curser over buttons or tabs, etc. Any suggestions?

I'm running FF 4 Beta 8 with the latest Flash player (10.1.102.64). When I play YouTube videos, the video is loaded, starts, and plays okay, but when I move my cursor around within the Firefox window, portions of the window black out under where the cursor travels. FF tabs and buttons will black out, or parts of the YouTube page (but not the video). CTL-ALT-Del to bring up Windows Security Panel, then CANCEL will restore the Firefox window, plus the YouTube page correctly (ie black is gone and window has been redrawn correctly). I can open up new tabs and replicate the problem multiple times. I've also experienced this problem with embedded YouTube videos (though it's easiest to replicate the problem direct from the YouTube page.) I don't experience this problem at all with FF 4 Beta 8 in Safe Mode, nor the latest FF 3.x.x. I have tried uninstalling and re-installing the Flash plug-in. Anyone have any ideas?

Problem involving videos played from the YouTube site is much less noticeable after upgrading from FF 4.0b8 to 4.0b9, but still occurs with embedded YouTube videos, where blacking out of other portions of the window still happens.

Yet again YouTube videos blacked out in Safari but not in Firefox

Hello,
Is anyone else suddenly experiencing the same problem, which is that videos suddenly won't run in YouTube on Safari.   The video frame is just blacked out.
Copy and past the URL into Firefox and it runs without any problems. I understand this is a recurring thing with YouTube on Safari, but is there a quick solution or do we just have to wait for YouTube (or Apple) to sort it out?
Thanks...BC

One of the following steps should help.
1. Install Adobe Flash Player.
    http://get.adobe.com/flashplayer/
    Restart
2. Enable Plug-ins
    Safari > Preferences > Security
    Web Content:
    Click in the box for "Enable Plug-ins".
3. Check whether you are currently in YouTube HTML 5 trial.
     http://www.youtube.com/html5
    At the bottom left of the page uncheck the box for
   "You are currently in the HTML5 trial".
4. Reset Safari.
    Click Safari in the menu bar.
    From the drop down select "Reset Safari".
    Uncheck the boxes next to all items.
    Check the box next to "Remove all website data".
    Click "Reset".
5. Turn off Extensions/Plug-ins if any that may interfere with Flash working properly.
    Safari > Preferences > Extensions
Best.

Can hear audio, but video blacks out every few seconds; picture comes back when we hit the tv's volume button

We can hear audio, but video blacks out every few seconds; picture comes back when we hit the tv's volume button. Everything seems to be plugged in well. The picture even starts out being sort of dim. And it goes through phases of working fine but then will randomly start blacking out again. Any ideas?

Welcome to the Apple Community.
Have you tried turning the TV off and on again.

My SD video keeps jumping between the upper and lower frames. So the video starts frame blending and blurring in and out.

How do I white out portions of a video?

How do I white out portions of a video? Specifically, if I have a image of a face how can I white-out the eyes and nose, How do I white out portions of a video? Specifically, if I have a image of a face how can I white-out the eyes and nose so that the face becomes all white except for the mouth?
Thank you

Thank you both so much, I am sorry I have been MIA but right after I posted that message I lost power and have been unable to access the internet.
Christine- thank you very much for the link and as I have been searching for an answer I have read a lot about motion and I know I am going to sound completely dumb saying this but...what exactly is motion?
Michael- I am trying to create stimuli for an experiment and well the control condition is a video recording of a man from the neck up speaking in front of a blue background and for the control we want to "white out" all of the facial features except for the mouth so that all you see is the blue background, an outline of the head that is all white except for the mouth.
This is my first research project and I am really hoping to do well and truly appreciate the help.

Snow Leopard makes FCP 6.0.6 wipes black out main video

Since I upgraded to Snow Leopard I have found FCP 6.0.6 will not show the viewer window output properly on my 2nd screen via the View > VideoPlayback option, it just shows the first frame, if I scrub the viewer window it updates but not when I play it. But the canvas window does play back correctly in the 2nd screen.
Also getting very odd side effects if I use wipes like the QuickTime > Gradient Wipe on a 2nd video over the main video blacking out the canvas window while the wipe animates and then once complete the underlying video returns. Even when I render it out to a seperate QuickTime file it does this.
Anyone else experienced this?

It was just an upgrade from the standard DVD of Snow Leopard.
What I have also noticed is that both the new designed QuickTime interface and the old QuickTime 7 app are co-existing. I'm wondering whether that is part of the problem?

Problems With Saving Video in Lightroom 4. Blacked-out Frames

Hi,
I have edited 145 clips for a video I'm putting together in LR4. After saving them, most of the clips have a few frames at the beginning blacked-out, or patchy black. I do not like this effect. Does anyone know how I might correct this? Thanks!
Nick

Maybe it was an issue with my computer or graphics card.

Full screen video on 2nd monitor blacks out 1st screen

When I play a video full screen on a second monitor, iTunes blacks out the first screen and I can't see the Windows desktop. Is there a way around this?

I'm having this problem as well. Apparnetly the world thinks this is acceptable behavior. I do not. I'm trying to work and feed video from iTunes to an HDTV next to me. Why in the world would I want my 3 other monitors to blank???
Tripply amazing is that it's worked this way for quite a long time. Apple isn't fixing it, so they must think this is a great FEATURE.

Why my notebook sometimes blacks out, in Windows 7, when I watch video online or just browse some web pages which contains quite a lot pictures?

Why my notebook sometimes blacks out, in windows 7, when I watch video online or just browse some web pages which contains quite a lot pictures?
1. I am not sure whether it is the problem of the graphic hardware, relevant softwares or the system itself.
2. I am not sure whether browsing a webpage with a lot pictures would make the graphic hardware, or other hardwares if possible, massively burdened and then just crash.
3. Or if possible, is the reason that the heat dissipation doesn't work well?
I am looking forward to any replies that might be helpful. Really appreciated.

it could be heat, not enough RAM, but you don't tell us enough.
There is no reason to assume this is anything other than running Windows natively btw.
Browser of course matters probably the most.
I like IE10 now, but use to use FF until recently. I'd like Chrome except for a few concerns I have over using it, it can eat up a lot of RAM and it builds up HUGE disk cache if you don't clear history and cache on exit and run CCleaner regularly ( good for all browsers )
So assuming 64-bit and 4GB or more and core i5 or better...
Also make sure Wiindow has 10GB of free space or more.
Biggest concern is what happens afterwards and whether you have run a check of your hard drive (chkdsk on startup) or if the problem cascades and gets progressively worse on top of the first - like do you have to do hard restart or able to bring up Task Mgr and kill or better yet, Resource Mgr and see if you have any thread locks.
Safari is not well versed in multithreading and handling what you want to do and are doing. IE9 isi usually good but I found it could not handle a lot of tumblr photo streams and sites. Try Chrome. With Firefox, use noscript, blashblock and see how it goes.

My video blacks out and comes right back on...

Just got it up and running after getting TV working after lightning strike... Did the new update and Apple TV blinks/blacks out for just a second (during video or on dashboard) every 5 - 7 min... Internet speed is strong and connection seems fine.

Possibly more important, check this...
1. Open System Preferences > Security & Privacy > General. Click the padlock to unlock the preference pane and enter your admin password. Click the Advanced button at the bottom, then see if the option "Log out after N minutes of inactivity" (where N is the number of minutes) is enabled.
2. Open System Preferences > Energy Saver and configure Display Sleep to occur after the account is logged out, by dragging the slider to a number of minutes that is greater than N was set to in the previous step.
Important: If automatic log out is not needed, disable "Log out after Nminutes of inactivity" in System Preferences > Security & Privacy > General. This will also prevent the issue.
