Blurs

Gareth Casey Updated by Gareth Casey

If there is anything that you don't want to show in your video because it private or sensitive, you can add a Blur to hide that part of the video image.

Adding a Blur

You can add a Blur by going to the Elements tab of the Media Panel, selecting Blur and then dragging and dropping the Blur object on to either the Canvas or Timeline.

If the Blur is dropped on to the Canvas, the Blur will appear in the exact spot on the Canvas where it was dropped and it will appear on top of any other objects that have already been added to the project. A Blur object will also appear on the Timeline beginning at the current frame with a default display duration of 10 seconds.

Or, if the Blur is dragged on to the Timeline, the Blur object will begin at whatever time it was dropped at and the BLur that appears on the Canvas will be positioned in the default position in the center of the Canvas.

Resizing a Blur

Blurs can be resized by clicking and dragging the corners of the image. The proportions of the Blur will be locked when resizing in this way, so the height and width wil change together to maintain the same aspect ratio.

Alternatively, clicking and dragging on the edges of the Blur will change the size in just the single direction. This allows you to change the shape of the Blur.

Customizing a Blur

When a Blur is selected, either on the Canvas or on the Timeline, it's style properties will appear in the Style Panel allowing you to customize the following:

Strength - Set how blurred any image that is placed behind the Blur will appear. The higher the strength, the harder the image below will be to see.
