RGB Blur Node
 
 
 

Use the RGB Blur node to apply a Gaussian blur to colour images. You can add an RGB Blur node to any part of the pipeline except to the Front and Matte pipes of MBlend nodes and the Matte pipes of CBlend nodes. To blur a matte, use the Blur filter in the Edge node. Both the RGB and Edge node blurs are Gaussian.

NoteUsing this node before the MBlend node on the Matte branch is the equivalent of the KeyIn Filter in the traditional Keyer.

You can animate a blur using the Channel Editor.

To blur a colour image:

  1. Place the RGB Blur node at the appropriate point in the pipeline. See Adding Nodes to the Pipeline.
  2. In Move mode, click the RGB Blur node to display the RGB Blur menu.
  3. If you want the image to be equally blurred horizontally and vertically, click Proportional to enable a proportional blur.

  4. Set the width and height of the blur. When Proportional is enabled, enter a value in either field. The higher the number, the greater the blur.
    NoteIncreasing the blur increases the processing time.
