Then I'd add the 'circle' effect, and set the blending mode to 'stencil alpha'. The size of the circle and position determine the mosaic amount. Finally I'd apply the 'CC Composite' effect and set it to 'behind', and then un-check the 'RGB only' box. > > You can use these 3 effects like this on the actual footage layer itself (save it as a preset), which would be fine if the entire duration of the clip needed some masking.
