Hello again,

I'd to "black-blur" a frame and keep a certain part of the frame clear.
For instance, i want to have a table with books on clear, but the shape of it is not specific, i mean like a square shape.
So, how i could outline my object and make the rest of the frame black-blurred??

Sony Movie plat 12.0 is my program.

thanks in advance

I can't picture exactly what you mean, however I think the Cookie Cutter Tool will help you out.
You would create a carbon copy of your video clip / still image and place it directly above your main video on a new video track.
Then apply a Cookie Cutter Shape on the top video - position and resize it.
Then apply Blur or something similar to either the top video or bottom video.

I have a tutorial which will show you something similar, which you can then adapt.

you're right, i don't describe it very well.

okay, let's just say we have the frame(like the snapsnot that you show in the freeze tool) of an opened wardrobe. in this snapshot i need something like a crop tool
in order to outline a t-shirt for instance, and make the t-shirt zoom in and then zoom out in the frame (that would be my next question on making an object zooming in and out, i hope it's not a problem for you to answer it here). but only the t-shirt, not the whole frame.
also, i want the rest of the frame to be blurred, so that when you watch it, you focus on the t-shirt!

thanks in advance for you time and help :D

If you want to Mask out irregular shaped objects, you need a Masking Tool.
The Masking Tool is only available in Vegas Pro - it has never been part of the Movie Studio range.
In Vegas Pro, the Masking tool lines in the Event Pan/Crop window.
