Screen, windows & UI · macOS · Windows

Effect: write (strongest supported action). Status: gated.

Gated means the tool requires an installed app, a connected account, permission, or runtime availability. Check those requirements on the listed platform before using it.

macOS

Purpose

Pixelates/blurs one or more rectangles over the video — the tool for redacting PII (an email pane, a name) before publishing a screen recording. Rects are in source pixels, top-left origin: [{x,y,w,h, start_ms?, end_ms?}] — omit the times to cover the whole clip. Great with a marker timeline's `bounds`. Returns the output path.

Required inputs

input — Path to the source video file.
regions — [{x,y,w,h, start_ms?, end_ms?}] in source pixels (top-left).

Permissions and confirmation

No explicit confirmation parameter is exposed in this snapshot. This does not grant permission to act: obtain user authorization before any real action.

Use only the apps, accounts and resources authorized by the user on this platform. Consult this tool's platform-specific description for its connection and permission requirements; this catalog does not assert additional OAuth scopes or OS entitlements.
