Interesting glow effects can be created by using the Matte Channel menu to blur pixels based on their Lightness or Luma channel values.Use this parameter to animate the effect from the unfiltered to the filtered image without adjusting other settings, or to reduce the effect of the filter by mixing it with the source image. Mix with Original blends the source and filtered images. You can blur all four channels (RGBA), just the RGB channels, just the Alpha channel, or any combination of the Red, Green, and Blue channels. Use the Channels menu to specify which channels to blur. If this is selected, the filter always performs “Better” Alpha Blending. Note that this will cause the edges of an opaque image that is the full size of the project to become partly transparent (just as some hosts such as After Effects’ built-in blurs do). The Avoid Clipping checkbox allows you to render outside the source image. If Lock Blur is checked, Horizontal Blur sets the blur amount in both directions. Increasing these values increases the amount of blur that is applied to the image. Horizontal Blur and Vertical Blur control the amount of blur in each direction. If your source is partially transparent, deselect this option for best results. If the source image is opaque, selecting the Opaque Source checkbox can speed rendering and preview times. FunctionīCC filters come with a library of factory installed presets plus the ability to create your own custom presets and preview them with the BCC FX Browser™.īCC filters also include common controls that configure global effect preferences and other host-specific effect settings.įor more information about working with presets and other common controls, Click Here. This filter allows you to blur the horizontal and vertical components of the image independently. Blur emulates the look of shooting in soft focus or with lens diffusion.
