Delete blur tracking after the face is out of frame?

Hi all! I'm a bit new to blurring in FCP and am running into an issue. I'm wondering how to remove a face tracking blur after the face is no longer visible? For example, I blur a face but then the face goes behind a wall. However, the blur circle that was tracking the face survives even after the face is gone. I can't seem to figure out how to get rid of the surviving blur circle!

I may get that opportunity in a couple of weeks or so... I'll have a lot of catching up to do!

The tracking function is just a series of key frames, and I have never been able to obtain satisfactory analysis results. The current situation is to modify the keyframes yourself.😅 *Verified with FCP10.7

Fox, who has a brilliant mind, would probably feel that this is a trivial function and would be better controlled using traditional keyframes. You may find it useful in cases where precise control is not required.


I use tracking for one reason only. This is useful when reusing related clips and effects, such as multiple shape masks. It is good in that it can be applied all at once👍, but the tracking function itself is not good.👎
