To all: How do you apply a Gausian Blur type filter in Video Post. I have used the VBLUR IPAS which has a variable of 0.6 to 1.0 which does not create enough bluring. For examples PhotoShop has a Gausian Blur filter which produces a nice defoucusing effect with a setting of 8 pixels or so. Any comments or suggestion is appreciated. -Reza

<< How do you apply a Gausian Blur type filter in Video Post. >> You'd need to use a Gaussian Blur *.exe that could run from VP, or perhaps use the Scripting Extensions to program your own filtering routine. There may be some plug-ins such as Filter Factory that feature a GBlur, I don't know. BILL

The circular blur in our disk#1 provides a blur that's very similar to a Gaussian blur. – G

Dear G: Thank you. I'll give it a try. -Reza

Have you tried using multiple entries of Blur in the VP queue? Otherwise maybe LenzFX would work better. Also note that the Blur routine in Vblur is not the same used in a Gaussian blur. You could manually blur in Photoshop – I've done this before for a transition over 45 frames which worked quite nicely. DM

Dear David: I've used PhotoShop's Gaussian Blur for a few frames also and it does work quite well. However, it is not a practical solution for creating long sequences. Yost group suggested that the circular blur in their disk#1 does a similar effect and I will give that a try. Thanks for your reply. -Reza

LENZFX from Digimation is REALLY nice, do racked focus etc, does blurring via the what the camera sees and can be a single object etc. REALLY nice, if you can live with YAD (yet another dongle) Jack
