He said that he was a taxi driver in New York.  And he showed me a QuickTime movie to prove it.  Then he goes, &#8220;You see what the problem is?&#8221;  Well, I didn&#8217;t.  He said that he wanted to hide the license tag of his taxi.  I thought I could blur the number plate dynamically by placing key frames but that it could take hours to do the job manually.  &#8220;Wait!  Perhaps, I could do it with Apple Motion,&#8221; I said.  So I launched Motion 3 on my iMac.  In a matter of 8 and a half minutes or so, I managed to hide his license tag.  After seeing the edited movie, the taxi driver looked content and went back to New York City.<\/p>\n<p>The following video tutorial shows how to use Motion 3 to place key frames and hide a small area dynamically by using a <u>motion tracking function<\/u>.
