Apply OrganiBlur to a clip in your timeline, like any built-in video effect. (Don't know how? Click here to see how to apply and use CreativEase effects.)
After the OrganiBlur interface appears, either:
Choose a pre-made effect. Choose a saved setting or one or more section presets to INSTANTLY form a particular look.

| Click the 'load' button at the top of our plugin to select a saved
setting, which will instantly configure ALL CONTROLS into a cool effect.Several
subfolders are included, organized by style. Single-click any saved
setting to quickly preview and compare it with others. Double-click your final choice. |

Click any section's Section Presets button, which will instantly configure controls ONLY
IN THAT SECTION into a powerful combination. Presets are a great way to QUICKLY build USEFUL effects from scratch, or to modify a saved setting. Try a few -- THOUSANDS of combinations are provided! |
OR create a custom effect by manually adjusting. For
this latter approach, generally the power of OrganiBlur is most easily accessed
in three steps:
STEP 1. Select the blur geometry. OrganiBlur
uses the luminance of your clip's image or the luminance of a selected spice file
(or a variable mix of both) as the basis for the blur. To select from
hundreds of available spice geometries (instead of using the default Elliptic1
C spice file), click the Choose Spice File button at the top of the OrganiBlur interface.
Note: With the Blur Angle slider (described further
in Step 2 below), you can control the blur direction, thus the default Elliptic1
C spice file for example can also be used for spin, zoom and even spiral
blurs. There is no need to select a spice file with exactly the desired blur DIRECTION
-- selecting the basic geometry alone is usually enough. Spice files that are curved in their geometry instead of rectilinear usually work best with this effect.
To instead use the clip's luminance to form the blur, set the Mixer slider in the Spice section of OrganiBlur to 100%.
To mix the spice geometry AND your clip's luminance,
adjust the Mixer to an intermediate value, such as
50%. Experiment -- the Mixer is one of OrganiBlur's
most unique and powerful controls. Keyframing the Mixer slider can lead to incredible organic flowing blur effects.

STEP 2. Adjust
the blur direction and power. With Progress at its default 50%, adjust the Blur Angle slider
to the desired blur direction. Next use Progress, Blur Amount, and Spread sliders to adjust the blur's power. Progress is typically
used to ramp the entire effect over time from 0% to 100% or back.
(If you are familiar with our SpiceMASTER plug-in, Progress is much like Completion in SpiceMASTER.) Blur Amount controls the overall blur strength.
STEP 3. Fine-tune
the effect. Spread controls how wide
the blur appears from its origin. Ramping controls where within a directional blur the blur appears strongest. For example,
with the default Elliptic1 C spice file, set Progress to 50% and Spread to 1.0. Now set Ramping to 100% -- you get a standard radial blur that has the maximum blur at the frame
edge. Now set Ramping to 0%. You get a new
radial blur effect with its maximum blur at the center.
