How to use the Inverse blur mode?

How to, why and when you would use the inverse blur mode.

Invert blur is commonly used on TV when they are filming in the street, and they blur a child or officer walking by for example. Like the auto-blur, you can use the auto-tracking feature with the Inverse Blur mode. The target this time is the person you wish to redact instead of the person you wish to be seen clearly.

You can track more than one person by going through the same process and starting a ‘New Track’ before clicking ‘Export’. When you click ‘Export’ the clips will be merged to allow you to see multiple people blurred whilst others are in clear view.
