Parameters:
Blur Type “Constant” creates full radial blur; “Soft” applies gentle swirl. One-Way versions add offset motion.
Size Controls blur strength. Range –4.0 to 4.0. Negative values flip blur direction.
Variation (Size) Fluctuate blur power over time. Set to 0.0 to vary only direction or mask.
Distribution Softens blur near center or edges. Higher values limit blur at image center.
Direction Defines blur style. 0.125 = spiral; 0.25 = spin; randomized values animate transitions between types.
Variation (Direction) Animate or randomize blur style over time. Set to 0.0 for static direction.
Center Defines blur origin. Animate to track subject or shift blur location dynamically.
Variation (Center) Randomizes or animates blur origin for complex shake or zoom effects.
Blend Mode Chooses how blurred image mixes with original—channel-specific motion, highlight-only shake, or full overlay.
Opacity Controls blending strength. Range –20.0 to 20.0. 1.0–2.0 = combined blur and blend. Outside 0.0–2.0 can produce surreal effects.
Variation (Opacity) Time-based opacity fluctuation produces flashes, inversion, or animated transitions between blur states.
