## Caption

No rotoscoping. No detour into After Effects. Premiere's AI Object Masking locks onto a moving subject, tracks it through the shot. Then, add a blur effect in seconds.

In this tutorial, you'll discover how to:
- Drop an ellipse mask over your subject and feather the edges so it blends into the shot
- Let AI track the mask forward and backward through the clip with no manual keyframing
- Apply a Gaussian Blur to just the masked area and dial in the intensity
- Animate the blur with keyframes to reveal your subject at the perfect moment

Perfect for face blurs, hiding logos or license plates, and revealing subjects with smooth, intentional transitions.
What would you track and blur in your next edit? Comment below and save this tutorial for your next project.
