Linear Blur
The Linear (Motion) Blur filter applies blur in a single direction, simulating movement from camera or object motion. It’s ideal for adding visual momentum or smoothing transitional effects.
| Parameters: | |
| Blur Type | "Constant" produces true motion blur; "Soft" applies subtle directional blur. One-Way types also simulate implied motion. |
| Size | Controls blur strength. Values range from -4.0 to 4.0. Negative values reverse the blur direction in One-Way modes. |
| Direction | Sets the angle of the blur. 1.0 equals a full rotation (360°). You can animate this value for rotating directional blur. |
