I am making a try me activity on a software training. Employee names are in a row down the left side of the program. Is there a way to blur these out without going frame by frame for each screen cast? I have to do roughly 30 of these so that's a lot of frames. Is there a way to do it once so it applies to all the slides in the screen cast?
I don't know if there's a way to do a blur effect, but one option, if the names are in the same place throughout the screencast, is to create an object that sits on the slides above that area of the screencast.
I would probably create an image that mimics what the employee name list looks like visually, but using fake names. Then place that over the area of the screencast that has the employee list.
The new media library makes this easier because you can access the screen recorded images. Keep in mind that you'll need to remove the screen recording video clips from each layer since the data is also part of the video.
I want to make sure I understand. So using this method I would need to go in and take a screenshot, then edit to add blur, then delete the video...for each slide?

Here's a quick video on how it works:
