hey angela! I see that you also blur captions on your gifs sometimes and I was wondering if you could help me with something: sometimes the part that I want to blur appears later on the gif (i.e. on frame 12) and I couldn't figure out yet how I can make the blur also starts on frame 12 (similar to what you did on the 2nd gif here: /post/166005251797/). thank you and hope you have a great day/night!
okay this is assuming you use the method where you
Convert the gif to a smart object
Convert to video timeline
Mask the section you want to blur
So the example you linked is a tad different because I like animated the mask to move with the text as it scrolls up, but if all you need to mask out is stationary and just pops in after a certain flame then it’s much easier
You basically do all the steps above to blur out your captions first, and then in your video timeline you find the first frame when it pops up
now on that top layer if you hover on the left edge of it you should see your cursor change
now just click and drag from that top frame to where you’ve indicated your first blurred frame was, and now it should look something like this
and now you’re done ^^ you blurred section should only start from where you’ve set it now. Afterwards you just flatten your frames back as usual
