Add background blur

I have a recording from a webcam, where I would like to blur the background, so the face in the video is clear, but the background is blurred.

The face moves around so I guess some kind of tracking would be needed.

Vegas has blur Fx and bezier masking with motion tracking- check "mask Fx" in bezier masking to blur Fx after it in the plugin chain.

If using VEGAS 20, duplicate the track your video is on, temporarily mute the bottom track, then on the top track, try the new smart mask, have it draw the basic mask around you, then fine-tune it manually from there until you are masked completely out of the background. Now unmute the bottom track, and apply a gaussian blur effect to it until the background is blurred to your liking.
