Radial Blur
The Radial Blur filter creates zoom, spin, and spiral motion effects radiating from a center point. You can dynamically adjust direction, intensity, and distribution for dazzling transitions or dynamic subject focus.
| Parameters: | |
| Blur Type | "Constant" gives full zoom/spin motion; "Soft" provides gentle variations. One-Way modes create visual movement. |
| Size | Controls blur intensity. Range: -4.0 to 4.0. Negative values flip direction in One-Way modes. |
| Distribution | Controls where blur is strongest. Higher values lessen blur in the center. |
| Direction | Adjusts blur motion: 0.125 = spiral, 0.25 = spin. Intermediate values allow for hybrid effects. |
| Center | Sets the origin point for the blur. Animate to follow your subject’s movement across the frame. |
Spiral Blur: By adjusting direction, you can morph between spin, spiral, and zoom styles for dramatic effects.
