How to Blur License Plate Tags in Video?

I video of my car at the local race track that I'm cutting up for a project and would like to blur out my license plate tag. In some parts, my car is centered in the video and in others, it's moving around in the frame. How can I go about doing this in Premiere Pro CS3? I'm running on Windows, if it matters. I tried searching and couldn't come up with anything. It's been a while since I've used Premiere so be easy on me. Thanks in advance for any help.

there are hundreds of examples and tutorials on the web.

How to blur (non-moving) objects in video

Hi - I've been trying for 2 hours to just blur something out of a video to no avail, using rectangle mask, then 'gaussient' filter. All I see on the screen, even after increasing the "amount" of blur to maximum setting, is a red rectangle. The blur effect is barely noticeable. I can't see what I'm doing wrong? Additional questions:
1) How do I get the layer to "stick?" Just save or export the project as an mp4?
2) How do set the start and stop of the filter? (I can change the start with the 'handle bars' on the purple bar, but not the end).
OS/X 10.9.5 (although updating to Yosemite shortly!).
Thank you for any help you can provide.

If I'm understanding what you're looking to do, to blur a portion of footage:
Add your footage
Duplicate it
Add your shape mask to the duplicate footage
Add the blur filter to the duplicate footage*
*Be sure to add the filter to the footage and not the mask, otherwise you'll be blurring the shape mask (making it appear feathered, instead of blurring the footage).
Your Layers List should look like this:
     Group
          Footage copy
               Rectangle mask
               Gaussian Blur
          Footage
Not this:
     Group
          Footage copy
               Rectangle mask
                    Gaussian Blur
          Footage
Additional questions:
1) How do I get the layer to "stick?" Just save or export the project as an mp4?
2) How do set the start and stop of the filter? (I can change the start with the 'handle bars' on the purple bar, but not the end).
1) I'm not sure I follow what you're looking for here. Saving the project will allow you to open it in the future to modify or export it again. Once your project is finished, you can export it as a movie or image sequence or directly to a web service. It all depends on your delivery needs.
2) You've got it right, just like how you change the start, you can do that with the end.
It sounds like either you don't have your entire project visible so you're not seeing the end of the filter. Try zooming out of the Timeline. (lower right corner is a slider, or click the Timeline area and hit shift+z).
Or the filter is applied to an object that is bigger than your project. Set the playhead to where you want the filter to end and with it selected, hit o. This sets an outpoint for the selected object. You can also adjust the timing for any object in the Properties tab in the Inspector. Twirl open the Timing brick and you'll see scrubbers for In, Out and Duration.
Hope that gets you going.

Apply effect to an area of the video - eg, blur a license plate

Hello,
Is it possible to apply an effect to an area on the screen? Eg blur a license plate or someone's face?

Hi(Bonjour)!
Yes it's possible to apply any effect on area of a clip only. Simply duplicate the footage in timeline, apply the filter and use a 4 or 8 point garbage matte to isolate the desired portion.
For blur/witness protection, there are many free plugins on the WEB that apply witness protection/blur on the clip like Andy's region blur:

How can I get QT Pro 7 to blur a portion of my video

Trying to make a video of a rack install on a Jeep. I need to blur the license plate. I tried adding text but it seems to be anchored to the top left of the screen. How can I move the text where I want?
--- or ---
How can I blur out the license plate?
--- OR ---
How can I just add a subtitle to the video near the middle bottom of the video so it obscured the plate?
Whew~!

After you've added the new track (text or image) you can adjust its dimensions and "offset".
Default offset value is 0,0 (upper left corner). You can change these values in the Movie Properties window.
Open the file and then open the Movie properties window. Single click on the video track and you'll notice the tabs in the lower half of the window will change names. Click the "Visual Settings" tab and enter new values for the dimensions (if needed) and the offset to position the new track where you want it.

How do i deblur a license plate

how do i deblur a license plate

Hi there -
It's extremeley difficult to reverse a blur, expecially one that intentionally hides something like a license plate.
Most tutorials that I found online deal with sharpening slightly blurred photos using the smart sharpen filter, which you can access by going to Filter > Sharpen > Smart Sharpen. When I tried using this method on an extremely blurred photo, I got very sub-par results. It might be worth a try, but not necessarily a perfect solution.
Your issue is probably better suited for the general Photoshop forum. The folks over there have many years of experience with Photoshop and may have a solution for you. You can find the forum here: http://forums.adobe.com/community/photoshop/general

How to blur the face of the person in the video using Adobe Premier Pro CS5

Hi
I have a video captured from a flipcam. I have Adobe Premier Pro CS5 and I don't have any knowledge of Adobe Premier Pro CS5 . Please can some one post a tutorial as how to blur the face of the person in the video using Adobe Master Collection CS5
Any help will be grateful .
Thanks

You are not really in the right place. I don't think you can edit video with Photoshop CS5, but Premier Pro CS5 can definitely do it. Off the top of my head, copy the video track on the timeline, (hold down the Alt/Opt key and drag).
Then Effects > Video Effects > Stylize > Mosaic.
Adjust number of blocks in Effects controls.
Then add Video effects > Keying > Four point matte
Adjust position of matte in effects controls.
If you want the matte to track with the video, move to start point on time line and adjust position. Move to end point and edit position. Matte will now move from one point to the other.
If you want more and better help, go to the Prem Pro forum.

Blur out license plates in shots?

I am working on a car and driver series and need to blank out license plates. I was using a color matte, matching the color of the plate in the shot and distorting it over the plate but my client wants the plates just blurred out. I can't do the same thing with a blurred matte because it doesn't blur and I can't distort a copied and blurred overlay of the same shot. Is there anything in FCP that can allow me to keyframe a blur over these plates or is it only an after effects job. Keep in mind that a simple box won't do. I have to keyframe a shape over the plates as the shot moves.
Thanks

You can take a lookat the demo movies from CHV on the MotionTracker-collection. http://www.chv-plugins.com/movies1.html
And then download a demo plugin here: http://www.chv-plugins.com/motion.html

How to mask a license plate and thus start license plate recognition.

I am trying to develop a license plate recognition system using Labview/vision assistant. Any tech help, example code or suggestions would be greatly appreciated.
Cheers Sgt F.

Hi Sgt F.
The difficulty of this task is going to vary depending on the consistency of the images you will be analyzing.
For instance:
Where will the camera be located relative to the vehicle?
Will the angle of the vehicle be consistent?
What portion of the entire image will be filled by the license plate?
Will the camera be located indoors with constant lighting, or will it be required to work outside 24 / 7?
Will the type of vehicle (and position of license plate) be consistent or are you aiming for the system to work on everything from motor bikes to HGV?
My suggestion would be to obtain as many example images as possible. If you can obtain a range of images the system will have to work with it will allow you to build up the best possible system. If you could post up an example image and answer the above questions it will be easier to offer you more specific advice.
Thanks,

Trying to make out this license plate

I have been trying to make out a license plate for some time now. It from cctv footage taken at night and I am wondering if there are any plugins or suggestions of how to go about it. I would appreciate any suggestions. Thank you. I realize there is probably no way to make out the numbers but worth a try.

Now, if you could only get your hands on a copy of Photoshop CSI:
I think that Noel might be the only person, outside of TV, who has a copy...
Good luck, and I have been exactly where you are. In my case, I had daylight images, and the community's security camera got a good shot of the license plate. That part, plus my video, all went well. The one thing that was missing was a 100% positive ID of the driver. The community added two more cameras at the gate, to record both the driver's face, plus any front-seat passenger's face. However, that was too late in my case.
Hope that you can extract that data,
Hunt

How can I embed a self hosted video into Adobe Muse?

How can I embed a self hosted video into Adobe Muse? I successfully use a Wordpress plugin to post self hosted videos to a Wordpress blog, however I would like to link the same video to a web site built in Muse. I understand that Muse looks for an embed code, however on self hosted video does anyone have any experiences on how that embed code can be obtained?

There's quite a lot of discussion on this forum about embedding videos.
So you can use HTML5 video tag to embed self hosted videos that you can insert in Muse through Object -> Insert HTML option. Refer to the following article - http://www.w3schools.com/html/html5_video.asp.
And here's how it would look - http://www.w3schools.com/html/tryit.asp?filename=tryhtml5_video_all.
