Newbie seeks help with 'pixellating' face.

Archived from groups: rec.video.desktop (More info?)

I know nothing at all about video editing, but I have a short 2.5 minute (10
meg) AVI file which has a Sky News article showing an item featuring a
friend of mine. I want to be able to 'pixellate' his face when it appears
on screen so that I can upload the video and keep his identity secret.

Are there any experts out there who could perhaps take a look at this AVI
file and do a quick edit on it to cover up my friends face? I really
wouldn't have a clue where to start. This will probably be the only piece of
video I will ever need to edit, so it isn't really worth it to go to the
time and expense of purchasing complicated editing software and learning how
to use it simply to edit 2 minutes of video.

If anyone can help, the raw footage is already online, so if you email me on
steve @ stuntguy.co.uk I can give you the details.

Steve.
