Jacob Swing covers tracking and blurring faces in Blender’s Compositor.

Blender’s compositing capabilities are on par with any other compositing program out there. Unfortunately, few editors think to use Blender to satisfy their compositing needs. 

This tutorial goes through a staple in the video editor’s arsenal – quickly blurring faces or anything else in the scene. The tutorial covers tracking (to cut down on the number of manual keyframes), manual keyframing a mask, and then using the compositor or VSE in conjunction with a mask to apply a blur effect.
