BlurPro -- In the CreativEase™ Blur Effects Plugins Pack

Typical video blur effects alter the entire scene and are difficult to effectively mask, limiting their usefulness for digital video. BlurPro combines several blur effects and unique blend/masking tools into one video effects plugin, making it easy to SELECTIVELY SOFTEN your clips and/or create fresh animated blur effects. You can even use it to nicely SHARPEN scenes witho ut introducing typical sharpening artifacts. BlurPro therefore is uniquely versatile for digital video. You gain the power to:

Soften Yet Retain. Soften areas AND retain edge definition (i.e. smooth skin but keep fine hair, eyelashes and other details) so the scene does not blur or lose depth.

Reduce Artifacts. INTELLIGENTLY reduce compression 'block' artifacts in video clips/JPEGs and reduce pixel 'noise' -- by targeting softness ONLY there.

Enhance the Sensual. The opposite of above is also handy… easily soften ONLY certain details (i.e. blemishes, harsh reflections) to produce lush/sensual visuals.

POP Your Subjects. De-emphasize specific details or entire background areas to enhance your scene's center of interest -- where you want your audience to FOCUS.

Be Dreamy/Surreal. Apply just the right touch of SELECTIVE softness to create wonderful dreamy/ surreal looks in wedding videos, dream segments, etc.

Blur Animated. Apply creative blurs and ORGANIC animation that are difficult/impossible with standard blurs, leading to unique new video effects.

Be Abstract/Arty. Selectively soften scenes STRONGLY (while retaining edge definition) to create unique abstract art/creative styles in your video clip.

Improve OTHER Effects. Get better/cleaner results by pre-conditioning the clip's image with BlurPro before applying OTHER video effects to the same video clip.

SHARPEN Better, Too! BlurPro is also for sharpening! SHARPEN only desired areas, accenting details more effectively and reducing sharpen 'halos.'

BlurPro leverages the soft/organic masking power of Pixelan "spices" (derived from our popular SpiceMaster plugin) to control blur location and animation. With the powerful Mixer control, you can also use a clip's luminance to define effect areas -- an easy way to soften only light or dark regions, for example, or to create compelling new blur effects. Last but not least, BlurPro's bezier keyframing can form incredibly DYNAMIC blurs that smoothly change and evolve over time.
