Ignore the first paragraph if you’d like, just bullshit anyway.
A few months back there were a few movies released on TPB that I wanted to see badly, but they had hardcoded Korean or Chinese subtitles. I, being impatient (and not Korean or Chinese) watched them anyway and afterwards thought to myself, I could swear that I had seen movie releases with a big blurred bar on the bottom, where is that release? Better yet how does one blur a subtitle? Which software do I use? Which filters must I get? All these questions were soon (Ha-ha soon as in weeks) answered by typing variation after variation of the phrase “How to blur subtitles” into Google’s all-knowing search bar. Then out of all the bullshit and useless information I came across this method which I will share with you now…
The program I use is called “Aviutl”, and the filter used to do the blurring is “ImasUncaption”. Here are some links to get you started on your way.
Program Links
Aviutl (Download the Extra Pack 1.6 version as Imas Uncaption comes with it)
Aviutl
Aviutl alone will get you on your way but for those who do not wish to export their videos in Avi format, here is an addon which allows you to export in x264. Download the "x264guiEx_2.13" zip file. Unzip and run the "auo_setup". The whole damn thing is in an Asian language so good luck.
x264guiEx_2.13
Written Tutorial (After all is installed)
1. Open video file you will be editing.
2. On top bar next to "File" click filter and check "Imas Uncaption"
3. Enable Imas Uncaption by checking the box in the top right corner.
4. Check "*Visualize effective area" and "Set effective area by mouse click" and adjust the black box inside the main window to cover the subtitles using mouse along with "Start X", "Start Y", "Width", and "Height" options.
5. Move forward within the movie in order to determine if the black box is the correct size to cover all subtitles.
6. Check "Chroma analysis", "Remove subtitle", and "Blur detected edge" and adjust settings to your liking.
7. Uncheck "*Visualize effective area" and then go to File>Export with plugin>YOUR CHOICE (x264 if you installed it earlier)
Here is an awesome tutorial written by someone else that also explains the process if I am confusing you in any way.

Some people will receive errors when first installing “Aviutl” such as DLL errors and such. If it is a DLL error just search the missing one on google and it will tell you what you are missing, such as “Microsoft .NET Framework”.
Some other errors can be solved by installing K-Lite Codec Pack which can be found here. I would get the full just to be safe.
K-Lite Codec Pack
Also if you get errors attempting to export as an “MKV” file then you are missing the “mkvmerge.exe” file which can be found here.
MKVToolnix 7.0
Download and install MKVToolnix and the needed “mkvmerge.exe” will now be in the installation path. Just point Aviutl in the direction of this .exe file when exporting as seen here.

Final Thoughts
I will answer as many questions as I can so feel free to ask! Also I am no expert so experiment with the settings and if anyone has suggestions or anything to add, please do.
If you do not wish to attempt this, I do upload blurred subtitle movies so check out my torrents here (I have some other stuff also).
