How to blur part of a video

Pause where the thing shows and drag a box over it. It blurs from that frame to the end of the video. Play to where it should stop and press Stop here, or Start here to begin it earlier. If the thing moves, pause there and drag the box onto it: it moves from that frame on.

What to expect

Supported inputs
Any video this browser can play.
What happens
Nothing is guessed: every box blurs exactly where and when you put it. Beside each box you can see the frames either side of where it starts and stops, without the blur, and move either end a frame at a time. The picture is re-encoded; audio is unchanged.
Limits
There's no length limit, but a long video takes longer to blur. Something that moves needs the box put on it each time it moves.

Questions

Draw the box over it, then play to where it goes and press Stop here (or O). Start here (or I) begins it on the frame showing. You can also drag the ends of its bar on the timeline.

Pause where it is after the move and drag the box there. The box moves from that frame on. If you only meant to fix where it sits, pick Move it for all of it.

Click a time in the box's panel to show the first or last frame it blurs, then step one frame with the arrows beside play. If the thing still shows on a frame outside the blur, press Start here or Stop here on it.
