How to load saved 'video effects / facial bluring' onto a new video??

I have a video, used Magix to add facial blurring at various stages & positions (tracking the face movement using mask effects feature).

I saved that project, plus also saved those video effects as a file, and also saved that video.

I have the exact same raw video, but without my copyright logo, and so want to just stick this video into magix, then have those exact same facial blur effects automatically added at the same times/durations/and positions as in the previously saved....
How exactly can I do this though please??

As when I added new video, then clicked ''load movie effects'' for that previously saved template it doesn't work properly! :(

Just saw John EB's video and that is more elegant and simpler than the description that I gave. I have to stop for the day. I'll show the other way to apply masks that is simpler, unless John EB gets there first.

Under Templates, Image objects, do you see a folder called Layer Masks?

Hi John

. . . . the other way to apply masks that is simpler. . . . folder called Layer Masks . . .

Linking the 2 together I presume you mean adding the layer mask from that folder?

That does make the need for ungrouping the mask from the object unnecessary, however it does mean more clicks and also the length is not automatically adjusted to the video so length adjustment may be necessary, before adding the tracking

Hi John EB,

Yes, it is slightly longer to set up but permits the use of more than one mask and it allows one to simply copy the mask object from one movie and paste to the other bringing along its effects; no need to load the mask in the second movie and then copy/paste the effects for the mask from one movie to the other.

Hi John

Very true - and definitely the way to go for multiple masks.
