Description

This effect/filter pixelizes the input image. It works similar to the Obscure effect but allows you to control the block size individually and independently from the image size, but by contrast applies it to the entire frame. In order to apply the effect only to a certain region use it in combination with the Alpha Shapes (Mask) effect.

The result is the same as using the Pixelize (basic) effect, but Pixelize (advanced) allows to choose the pixelization mode and which color channel to apply the pixelization to.
