Chapter 4, Setting Up Realtime Effects with Adobe Premiere Pro
Creating a blur/soft focus effect
The Matrox blur/soft focus effect lets you create unique effects and simulate
camera defocus.
° To set up a Matrox blur/soft focus effect:
Click the triangle next to Matrox Blur/Soft Focus to expand the property list.
• Blur Amount Use this to change the amount of blurring in your clip.
• Source Blend Factor Use this to superimpose the original image on top
of your clip after you’ve applied blurring. A value of zero will show only the
blur result, and a value of 100 will show only the original image. Anything in
between will result in a blending of the blurring with the original image,
therefore creating a soft focus effect.
• Lock Colors Select this option to proportionally increase or decrease the
red, green, and blue color gain. For example, any adjustments you make to
the
Red Color Gain will be used for the green and blue color gain as well.
• Red Color Gain Lets you increase or decrease the red present in your
image.
• Green Color Gain Lets you increase or decrease the green present in your
image.
• Blue Color Gain Lets you increase or decrease the blue present in your
image.
• Crop Allows you to crop the edges of your clip. For more information, see
“Cropping your clip” on page 55 .
¦ Note If you are working in HD, the blur/soft focus effect may require
rendering based on certain setting combinations.
