Pixelate Faces in the VSE I need to hide faces from videos I make. I've found tutorials on blurring, which are great, but the render times are too long to be practical.

So in place of that, is there a way to pixelate the face in using the Video Sequence Editor?
You can use a VES transform effect first to shrink the image...



Make sure to set interpolation to off.



Next and another Transform effect onto the first, and reverse the scale. Enlarging the image. Make sure that Interpolation is off again.
