Blur & Highlight

Hide what's private. Show what matters.

Blur sensitive details and spotlight the parts of the screen your viewers should see.

Features

Blur sensitive info

Drag a blur over passwords, email addresses, customer data — anything that should stay private.

Highlight an area

Mask everything except the part of the screen you want viewers to look at.

Time it to the frame

Drag either end on the timeline and the preview follows, so effects start and stop exactly where you want.

Blur anything, any time

Cover a field for two seconds or a whole sidebar for the entire video. Run several blurs at once and Tella keeps each on its own track, with nothing hidden behind anything else.

Pull attention where you want it

A highlight dims everything but the area you frame. Use it to walk viewers through a flow one step at a time, without a single arrow or annotation.

Frequently asked questions

Open your video in the editor, open Overlay in the sidebar, and choose Blur or Highlight. Click the plus button to add one at the playhead, then position and resize it on the canvas.
Blur hides the area you cover. Highlight does the opposite: it masks everything except the area you frame, so attention is pulled to the part that stays fully visible.
Yes. Add as many blurs and highlights as you need, including ones that overlap in time. Overlapping effects are placed on separate timeline tracks automatically.
Open the effect's three-dots menu in the Overlay sidebar and choose Duplicate. The copy keeps the same size, position, timing, and transition, ready to move or retime.
Blur and highlight timing follows your edited timeline, so removed sections are skipped and effects stay in sync with what viewers actually see.
