Variable Cross Blur – Radial Mask
This filter lets you control blur strength within the frame using a radial mask. You can focus blur around your subject or invert the effect for soft framing, all dynamically adjusted with animation-ready controls.
| Parameters: | |
| Blur Type | "Constant" for strong blur, "Soft" for subtle results. |
| Blend | Controls combination of horizontal and vertical blurs. |
| Size | Sets blur intensity. 1.0 = maximum, up to 4.0 for extra blur (with some quality reduction). |
| Direction | 1.0 = full rotation; animate up to 100.0 for spinning blur. |
| Round | Toggles circular shape. Off uses frame aspect ratio instead. |
| Distribution | Values above 0.5 = stronger edge blur; below 0.5 = central blur. |
| Center X, Y | Sets mask center position. Animate to follow your subject throughout the frame. |
