  blurring in & out

  Posted by Paul Clark on August 16, 2012 at 9:08 pm

  Hi Guys,
  New to all this so it probably sounds really daft.
  How do you get a video file in Adobe After effects or Premier cs3 to slightly blur in and out as it plays,
  intermittently and subtly?

  I have some flowers that I’ve filmed, swaying gently in the wind,
  and I just want some periods where it goes slightly out of focus,
  then back in.

  Cheers

  Paul

  Hey Paul,

  In AE go to Effects > Blur & Sharpen > Gaussian blur. Then change the Bluriness values, set a key frame, move your time slider, change the value again (this should set a new key frame automaticly)

  This solution will put your entire footage out of focus, not just a single flower.

  Thanks Ruud,

  Good man! 🙂
