Grass Valley Aurora Edit LD v.7.0 - Manual (Page 170)

Blur & mosaic video effects
Blur video effect
You use the Blur effect to cover up an image that needs to be protected or disguised.
When you select the Blur effect, the Key Shape effect automatically turns on. This is
because you need the Key Shape effect to select the size, shape, and position of the
blur. You cannot create a Blur effect without using the Key Shape effect as well.
When covering up an image throughout a clip, you probably have to move the blur
effect several times in order to cover the image as the clip plays. You can do this
quickly using the keyboard keys.
Description Range Option
0 is no blur and 5 is the heaviest blur. 0 to 5 Defocus
0 is no softness and 100 is full softness for the outside region of
the shape. 0 to 100 O-Soft
Mosaic video effect
You use the Mosaic effect to cover up an image that needs to be protected or disguised.
When you select the Mosaic effect, the Key Shape effect automatically turns on. This
is because you need the Key Shape effect to select the size, shape, and position of the
mosaic. Unlike the Blur effect, however, you can turn off the Key Shape effect, giving
the entire image a mosaic effect.
When covering up an image throughout a clip, you probably have to move the mosaic
effect several times in order to cover the image as the clip plays. You can do this
quickly using the keyboard keys.
