How can I get QT Pro 7 to blur a portion of my video

Trying to make a video of a rack install on a Jeep. I need to blur the license plate. I tried adding text but it seems to be anchored to the top left of the screen. How can I move the text where I want?
--- or ---
How can I blur out the license plate?

--- OR ---
How can I just add a subtitle to the video near the middle bottom of the video so it obscured the plate?

Whew~!

Home Built- so not a MAC, Windows XP Pro, It looks like a big Tylenol

After you've added the new track (text or image) you can adjust its dimensions and "offset".
Default offset value is 0,0 (upper left corner). You can change these values in the Movie Properties window.
Open the file and then open the Movie properties window. Single click on the video track and you'll notice the tabs in the lower half of the window will change names. Click the "Visual Settings" tab and enter new values for the dimensions (if needed) and the offset to position the new track where you want it.

QT Kirk,

OUTSTANDING help! This has been driving me crazy. I still can't get QT Pro to do what I want (track an object and keep it blurred) but at least I can blur a stationary object now.
