Are there any FOSS video editing programs that can use a filter to safely edit a person's identifying characteristics out of a video? But if so, could those filters be reversed by someone trying to find that person's identity?

Use case would be Privacy for content creators. Removing the ability to ID the subject of a video by facial & gait recognition.

Would be nice if such a program could remove metadata as well, like a single solution to anonymize content. Could save #[0] on his green suit / pillowcase budget #[1]

Kdenlive is incredibly powerful but a bit difficult to use, like most FOSS there is a bit of a learning curve: https://kdenlive.org/en/

Signal has a built in tool that does what you describe but I think that is only for images, but may also work for video.

Great, I'll look into it. Didn't run across this one when I was searching earlier. PV 🤙

Do you know if an interested party could ‘unscramble’ the masking filter? Since KDEnlive is open source code, I’d guess that the pixelation algorithm would be viewable and potentially reversible - but maybe there’s just not enough data in the video file to do so.
