Masking in video stream

1. A method for combining a mask with a selectively progressing video stream, the method comprising:

receiving a selection of at least one mask with a mask zone that obscures at least a portion of the video stream;

receiving a selection to emplace the at least one mask at a first location within the video stream;

receiving a selection to enable a tracking icon to move the at least one mask to a second location within the video stream while the video stream progresses, wherein the video stream progression is started by receiving the selection to enable the tracking icon used to move the at least one mask; and

generating a combined output of the video stream and the selective emplacement and movement of the at least one mask during the video stream progression.

2. The method of claim 1 , wherein the at least one mask is associated with a persistent subportion within the video stream.

3. The method of claim 2 , wherein the persistent subportion comprises at least a portion of an object visible within the video stream.

4. The method of claim 3 , further comprising:

linking the movement of the at least one mask to movement of the at least a portion of the object.

5. The method of claim 3 , wherein the persistent subportion comprises at least a portion of a face of an individual.

6. The method of claim 1 , wherein the combined output of the video stream includes one or more of modifying image information in the video stream to add blur corresponding to the at least one mask and adding blur in the video stream corresponding to the at least one mask based on metadata.

7. The method of claim 1 , further comprising:

receiving an identification of a portion of audio associated with the video stream to edit; and

editing the audio associated with the video stream to obscure the identified portion of audio.

8. The method of claim 7 , wherein generating the combined output of the video stream and the selective emplacement and movement of the at least one mask during the video stream progression further includes the edited audio.

9. A method for combining a mask with a selectively progressing video stream, the method comprising:

receiving a selection of at least one mask with a mask zone that obscures at least a portion of the video stream;

receiving a selection to emplace the at least one mask at a first location within the video stream;

receiving a selection to enable a tracking icon to move the at least one mask to a second location within the video stream while the video stream progresses;

generating a combined output of the video stream and the selective emplacement and movement of the at least one mask during the video stream progression; and

determining a mask duration with a start time and an end time for the at least one mask corresponding to a time period when the at least one mask is inserted into the video stream.

10. A computer device comprising:

a memory to store data and instructions;

a processor in communication with the memory; and

a video editor application accessible via the memory and the processor, wherein the video editor application is operable to:

receive a selection of at least one mask with a mask zone that obscures at least a portion of the video stream;

receive a selection to emplace the at least one mask at a first location within the video stream;

receive a selection to enable a tracking icon to move the at least one mask to a second location within the video stream while the video stream progresses, wherein the video stream progression is started by receiving the selection to enable the tracking icon used to move the at least one mask; and

generate a combined output of the video stream and the selective emplacement and movement of the at least one mask during the video stream progression.

11. The computer device of claim 10 , wherein the at least one mask is associated with a persistent subportion within the video stream.

12. The computer device of claim 11 , wherein the persistent subportion comprises at least a portion of an object visible within the video stream.

13. The computer device of claim 12 , wherein the video editor application is further operable to link the movement of the at least one mask to movement of the at least a portion of the object.

14. The computer device of claim 11 , wherein the persistent subportion comprises at least a portion of a face of an individual.

15. The computer device of claim 10 , wherein the combined output of the video stream includes one or more of modifying image information in the video stream to add blur corresponding to the at least one mask and adding blur in the video stream corresponding to the at least one mask based on metadata.

16. The computer device of claim 10 , wherein the video editor application is further operable to:

receive an identification of a portion of audio associated with the video stream to edit; and

edit the audio associated with the video stream to obscure the identified portion of audio.

17. The computer device of claim 16 , wherein generating the combined output of the video stream and the selective emplacement and movement of the at least one mask during the video stream progression further includes the edited audio.

18. A computer device, comprising:

a memory to store data and instructions;

a processor in communication with the memory; and

a video editor application accessible via the memory and the processor, wherein the video editor application is operable to:

receive a selection of at least one mask with a mask zone that obscures at least a portion of the video stream;

receive a selection to emplace the at least one mask at a first location within the video stream;

receive a selection to enable a tracking icon to move the at least one mask to a second location within the video stream while the video stream progresses;

generate a combined output of the video stream and the selective emplacement and movement of the at least one mask during the video stream progression; and

determine a mask duration with a start time and an end time for the at least one mask corresponding to a time period when the at least one mask is inserted into the video stream.

19. A non-transitory computer-readable medium storing instructions executable by a computer device, comprising:

at least one instruction for causing the computer device to receive a selection of at least one mask with a mask zone that obscures at least a portion of the video stream;

at least one instruction for causing the computer device to receive a selection to emplace the at least one mask at a first location within the video stream;

at least one instruction for causing the computer device to receive a selection to enable a tracking icon to move the at least one mask to a second location within the video stream while the video stream progresses, wherein the video stream progression is started by receiving the selection to enable the tracking icon used to move the at least one mask; and

at least one instruction for causing the computer device to generate a combined output of the video stream and the selective emplacement and movement of the at least one mask during the video stream progression.
