SUMMARY

It is not possible to add a second rectangle to pixelate a second area,
but instead the first filter is just moved.

Do you work with automask. If so you can put a second automask on the clip to have a second region to pixelate.

That did not work for me, it always replaced the previous one for me.

Ah, the issue about automask is that the previous selected area cannot be changed or deselect anymore once a another automask region has been set. All individual automask regions should stay controllable.

For 2 pixelate fields you have to apply 2 times the automask effect on the same clip.

Hello and thanks for your report. 

The automask effect if being rewritten for the next major release of MLT (version 7). We are tracking progress of this task here in case you'd like to follow up: https://invent.kde.org/multimedia/kdenlive/-/issues/991

Will close this issue here. Do test after the release and let us know if it still happens.
