Open the special effects panel, select the hand-painted mask under the video filter, and then drag it to the video material.

In the information window, double-click [Hand-drawn Mask] to enter its settings window. The window is shown in the picture:

Here you can set the settings that we do not want to be seen clearly. Use hand-painted masking on the parts. The one we want to mask here is the cat, so we just choose the elliptical selection tool.

After selecting the starting position of the cat, the [Shape] attribute will appear in the path setting window. Select it here and add key frames, then play the video and place every place where the cat moves. The hand-painted masks we painted were all keyframed.

Finally, add a mosaic effect to the inside of our mask in the upper right corner of the window.
