How to blur the outside of the frame, but keep the center/subject in focus?
Hi there!
My video is simple interviews, and I was wondering how I could keep the subject’s face in focus, but then blur the outside/edge of the movie frame.
Is this something that involves “masks”? If so, masks are something I have always struggled to understand and use! Any help is greatly appreciated!
Oh, and by the way, I have old Premiere Pro 2.0. Thanks!
Andy

You need to tweek the parameters to suite the image.

Take a look at this video tutorial to see how it can be done with an “adjustment layer” in CS6.
The concept here shows how making a transparency/opacity map allows effects to apply across the map and certain regions. The gradient of the map allows for a blur effect to start heavy at the full opacity areas and thin out over the gradient.

Barrie, don’t think Premiere Pro 2 has Adjustment Layers 😉
