Body Effects
Filmora comes with a library of Body effects that can be used to enhance emotions, emphasize reactions, and add personality to your video. The face-tracking mask effects are image-based effects, with cute and fun elements such as cats, bears, pandas, koalas, bunnies, glasses, and much more.
Note:
Mask effects work best when applied to a person facing the camera. If there is more than one person in the frame, the mask effects will be applied to whichever face it detects.Index
There are three ways to add mask effects to a video:
Method 1: Open your project, go to Effects >Body Effects, and then select the effect that you want and add it to your project.

Method 2: Hover your mouse over the effect you want. When you see a Plus icon in the middle, click it. Then the effect will be added to the timeline.

Method 3: Drag it the track above the video in the Timeline.

Double-click on the effect in the timeline to customize its position and other settings. Then, you preview how your clip looks with the effect applied to it in the Preview Window.

If you only want to add the mask effect to a small part, you can drag the edge of the effects to adjust the duration.

Now, you can play the video and you will see the mask effect. You can repeat the steps above to add multiple Mask Effects to your video.
To remove the applied mask effects, right-click the Effect in the Timeline and select Delete.

Or press the Delete button on your keyboard when you have chosen the Effect.
