Dean,
Excellent!! This is exactly what I was looking for. It seems that my
mask is applying to the entire length of the track though. Is there a
way to get it to only apply to a specific part of the track? I suppose
I could copy the entire upper track and put it in the lower track so
you wouldn't notice the mask except for the part that had the
downsample effect, but that seems like overkill.

Create a second video track below the existing one and copy the clip(s)
into it. Add a 'Downsample' video effect to the lower of the two
tracks. Arm the upper track and disarm all the others, then go into the
compositor and create a mask around the bit that you want to pixellate.
Set the mask mode to 'Subtract alpha' and put the 'Value' right up to
100. Now the pixellated lower track should be showing through in the
mask. Adjust the downsample parameters to get the level of pixellation
that you want. Then use autokeyframing to animate the boundary of the
mask so that it follows the object to be pixellated.
