      The video was edited in Kdenlive. The pixelation was done with the motion tracker filter: I usually slice the parts of the videos where I need to obscure things - in this case the entire video - in 10-second slices, then run the motion tracker in each 10-second segment. I do that because it tends to loose track after a while, so I manually set it back on target at the beginning of each segment.

      Also, while this is an equirectangular 360° video, in this case, I could pixelate my face directly in the video without doing a equirectangular-to-rectilinear then rectilinear-to-equirectangular transforms before and after the pixelation, which makes rendering a lot faster. With the 360° transforms, it’s dog-slow. But my face is usually close to the vertical center of the image, near 0° pitch, because I tend to shoot my videos at eye level, so there isn’t too much distortion to worry about.
