Directional Blur

Directional Blur

Blurs an object along a specific angle, to create a blurred streaking effect.

Note: The more filters you use in a project, the more you impact the performance of Motion.

Adjust this filter using the parameter controls in the Filters Inspector:

  • Amount: Sets the radius of the blur. You can also drag the arrow onscreen control in the Canvas to adjust the amount (and angle) of the blur.

  • Angle: Sets the angle of the direction of movement. You can also drag the arrow onscreen control in the Canvas to adjust the angle (and amount) of blur.

  • Crop: Sets whether the filtered image is sharply cropped at its original boundaries. When this checkbox is deselected, the filter affects the edges of the image.

  • Mix: Sets the percentage of the original image to be blended with the blurred image.

  • Publish OSC: Publishes the filter’s onscreen controls in Final Cut Pro X. For more information on creating content for use in Final Cut Pro, see Final Cut Pro templates overview.
