Blur a single line of pixels across page?
Hi, I am trying to get a blur effect where you take a single row of pixels and blur them right across the screen. Does that make sense?
I’m not really sure how to describe it – It’s known as ‘vertical/horizontal blow’ in the VJ software resolume, and was used quite alot in timo schaedel’s ‘London Details’; you can see an example of it going in three different planes in the background of this image: https://www.onedotzero.com/uploads/london.jpg
I’ve tried all the blur modes and some distortion effects but nothing seems to give this effect, any help would be much appreciated!
Thanks,
Tom -

Thaat looks like Pete’s Smear to me, although to get the pic you showed you’d need to mask off the square pipes (foreground) in a dup layer or have them with alpha.

His Kaleidascope is worth the downlaod alone, more powerful than the CC version.
Oy, yes in AE Transition > CC Scale wipe is very similar, although Smear above has a few more options.

Hi there Tom,
Apply Keylight to the file you want this effect, then to to “Source crops” the last option of the plugin, then change the values of “Left, right, bottom or top”…
Is this the effect you need?
I hope it helps, big hugs from Brazil.

This does not look like blurring but more like extending the last pixel of an area based on some matte to define that region.
Something you can do with “RE:Fill Area” in mode Nearest Neighbor
All we seem to have on-line is another fill mode, “Mirror”, last example: https://www.revisionfx.com/rfilgal.htm but it should make the point. To remove flickering as the object moves and the object edges change color therefore, turn the Smooth knob to a large value.For Directional Blur, note SmoothKit:Directional supports control from a greyscale image (actually one for scale of directional blur and one to define direction). In this simple example a circular greyscale ramp is used as Direction Source and then for effects purposes the global rotate parameter is animated.
