1. A method for combining a mask with a selectively progressing video stream, the method comprising:
receiving a selection of at least one mask with a mask zone for obscuring at least a portion of the video stream;
receiving a selection to emplace the at least one mask at a first location within the video stream;
receiving a selection to enable a tracking icon to move the at least one mask to a second location within the video stream while the video stream progresses; and
generating a combined output of the video stream and the selective emplacement and movement of the at least one mask during the video stream progression.
