Dynamic Gaussian – Linear Mask

Apply blur dynamically to one side of the frame using a linear gradient mask. Adjust blur intensity and variation over time or randomize direction. Perfect for simulating motion blur from one edge.

Parameters:
Size Controls blur power. 1.0 is max quality, up to 4.0 allowed for heavier blur at reduced quality.
Variation (Size) Controls time-based or randomized blur strength. Setting Variation to 0.0 disables blur changes and enables dynamic masking only.
Area Controls how much of the image is affected. 0.0 = no soft area, 1.0 = entire frame.
Variation (Area) Dynamically changes size of masked region.
Side Direction of mask: 0.0-left, 0.25-top, 0.5-right, 0.75-bottom.
Variation (Side) Applies blur randomly to different image edges.
Distribution Softens the mask edge. Higher = smoother transition between blurred and sharp regions.
