Video artistic effects

Apply artistic and visual effects to your videos, including blurring, stabilization, a vignette, and visual noise.

Blur

Use the blur video effect to add a level of blurriness to a video. You can control the strength of the blur with a parameter (range: 1 to 2000). When working with video overlays, you can also add the blur to the container or to the overlay.

For example, the container video plays a blurred version of the video, while a smaller overlay plays the video clearly:

Try it out: Blur.

Deshake

The deshake video effect applies a filter that attempts to fix small changes in horizontal and vertical motion shift. This filter helps remove camera shake from hand-holding a camera, bumping a tripod, moving on a vehicle, etc. A value between 0-64 can also be specified that determines the maximum extent of movement in the horizontal and/or vertical direction in pixels, with the default set to 16 pixels.

In this example, the deshake effect is applied to a home video with the default max shift of 16 pixels:

Vignette

Fade the edges of videos into the background using the vignette effect.

See full syntax: e_vignette in the Transformation Reference.

Visual noise

Use the noise video effect to add visual noise to a video. Noise is a random pattern superimposed on the video, visible as a random flicker of "dots" or "snow". The amount of noise added to the video is set by adding an integer value to the parameter, ranging from 0 (no noise) up to 100. In this example, the noise effect is added to the video with the max value of 100:
