BlurPro From the CreativEase™ Blur Effects Pack Typical blur effects alter the entire scene and are difficult to effectively mask, limiting their usefulness for digital video. BlurPro™ combines several blurs and unique blend/mask tools into one plug-in, making it easy to SELECTIVELY SOFTEN your clips and/or create fresh animated blur effects. You can even use it to nicely SHARPEN scenes without introducing typical sharpening artifacts. BlurPro therefore is very versatile for digital video. You gain the power to: . ••• To view LARGER images, click any image below ••• Soften Yet Retain. Soften areas AND retain edge definition (i.e. smooth skin but keep fine hair, eyelashes) so the overall scene does not blur or lose depth. Reduce Artifacts. INTELLIGENTLY reduce compression 'block' artifacts in DV/MPEG/JPEG clips, and 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 for 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 effects. Be Abstract/Arty. Selectively soften scenes STRONGLY (while retaining edge definition) to easily create unique abstract/arty styles. Improve OTHER Effects. Get better/cleaner results by pre-conditioning the image with BlurPro before applying OTHER video effects to a clip. SHARPEN Better, Too! BlurPro is also for sharpening! SHARPEN only desired areas, accenting details more effectively and reducing sharpen 'halos.'     To view a cool movie of this effect, click here. BlurPro leverages the soft/organic masking power of Pixelan "spices" (derived from our popular SpiceMASTER plug-in) 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. Previous  |  Next
