Mosaic
You can also use the Mosaic effect to cover up an image that needs to be
protected or disguised. When you select the Mosaic effect, the Key Shape effect
automatically turns on. This is because you need the Key Shape effect to select
the size, shape, and position of the mosaic. Unlike the Blur effect, however, you
can turn off the Key Shape effect, giving the entire image a mosaic effect.
When covering up an image throughout a clip, you probably have to move the
mosaic effect several times in order to cover the image as the clip plays. You
can do this quickly using the keyboard keys.
