Blur or obsure info in Replay
Hi there,
Is there a way to blur or obsure areas of the video after you create it? Kind of like on TV when they blur faces or unmentionables! I need to block out sensitive information but still show folks how to perform a task.
Thanks!

I'm having the same issue today, 3 years after the last comment
What I ended up doing was using my Windows snipping tool, then pasting that image into MS PAINT, and using the eraser tool. Then I imported the still image into Replay, with crossfades between stills. So no video with blur, but it was something.
Hi Pete, I work in health care too and this is exactly what I am looking for! This still has not been considered, and it looks like requests have been ignored. When I saw that this thread is now 11 years old, nearly a generation old now, it's obvious that either there is no interest in adding this function, or there is not enough demand for it.
Working in healthcare being able to blur video of a process recorded in Replay would be super helpful. The alternative is spending hours creating fake data...
+1 That would be a great feature to have.
Quite amazing that something so simple as being able to blur out parts of a video recorded in Storyline 360, cannot be easily accomplished!
I could really use this. It's disappointing to see so many requests from years back then never get actioned. I'm seriously considering switching back to Captivate.
I just found this thread in a search for a solution. Same issue here, I have a video that shows passwords and account numbers, and I'd like to blur them. So, my interim solution was to take the video, put it in Microsoft Video Editor to remove the audio first. Saved as an .mp4, and now I'm working with it in Storyline, where I will take a screenshot of an area I'd like to blur - blur it in SnagIt and copy it back over the top of that part of the video. Clunky solution, but ya gotta do what ya gotta do. Please light a fire under the developers on this one! Thanks!
I also need the blur feature. I had to purchase Adobe Premiere Pro to do what is needed. I would rather use 1 product.
Hello Vincent, and welcome to E-Learning Heroes. 😊
Thank you for reaching out, and no worries about resurrecting older discussions to ask questions.
We do not have a customer-facing list or status of feature requests, but I can assure you that this one is still open, and we are continuing to track user requests. I wanted to share some information about how we manage these feature requests, which may be helpful. This conversation is linked so we can share updates with you here in the future.
Hi Team,
Sorry to necro such an old discussion, but it appears to be the most relevant when Google searching for this feature.
Is there somewhere to review the status of this feature request for Replay, Peek, or others?
Ideally having the solution in the Articulate features included with the subscription would be fantastic especially with such sensitive topics of GDPR and CCPA and future data sensitivity legal requirements which are bound to follow.
The solution(s) I found provided links to external platforms that in some cases require additional cost. Any information would be appreciated.
