Hi I'm trying to blur a face with cookie cutter and the person is moving around a lot so i have to animate the location of the cookie cutter circle and it's extremely tedious. What doesn't help, is when I add points to the FX timeline in the separate window, I can't really match it up to the normal timeline if that makes sense? I'll add a point and change the location on the preview screen outside of the window, but when I play the video, well it just doesn't match up and i can't seem to add them in the right spot. Any advice to help me? I've also come across this inconvenience with other effects. I'm using movie studio 13.

You can sync the FX timeline with the normal timeline by clicking "Sync Cursor to Media Timeline" button. That's the first button (cursor and lock symbol) just left below the FX timeline.
