BlurChannelsMask In the S_BlursMask Plugin. Blurs each channel of the source clip by an arbitrary amount using a gaussian, triangle, or box filter. This is similar to BlurChannels, but a Mask input specifies which areas of the source are to be blurred. Inputs: Source:  The clip to be processed. Mask:  The blur is only performed on regions of the source clip specified by the bright areas of this input. Pixels outside this mask are not blurred, and do not contribute to the resulting blurred pixels within it. Only the red channel of this input is used.

Parameters:

Blur Amount:   Default: 0.5,  Range: 0 or greater,  Shared.
Scales the width of the blur for all channels. This parameter can be adjusted using the Blur Amount Widget.

Blur Red:   Default: 0,  Range: 0 or greater.
The blur width of the red channel, relative to Blur Amount. This parameter can be adjusted using the Blur Amount Widget.

Blur Green:   Default: 0.5,  Range: 0 or greater.
The blur width of the green channel, relative to Blur Amount. This parameter can be adjusted using the Blur Amount Widget.

Blur Blue:   Default: 1,  Range: 0 or greater.
The blur width of the blue channel, relative to Blur Amount. This parameter can be adjusted using the Blur Amount Widget.

Blur X:   Default: 1,  Range: 0 or greater.
The relative blur amount in the horizontal direction. If 0, a vertical-only blur is performed. This parameter can be adjusted using the Blur Amount Widget.

Blur Y:   Default: 1,  Range: 0 or greater.
The relative blur amount in the vertical direction. If 0, a horizontal-only blur is performed. This parameter can be adjusted using the Blur Amount Widget.

Filter:   Popup menu,  Default: GAUSS.
The type of convolution filter to blur with.

BOX:  uses a rectangular shaped filter.

TRIANGLE:  smoother, uses a pyramid shaped filter.

GAUSS:  smoothest, uses a gaussian shaped filter.

Scale Result:   Default: 1,  Range: 0 or greater,  Shared.
Scales the brightness of the result.

Scale Red:   Default: 1,  Range: 0 or greater.
Scales the blurred red channel.

Scale Green:   Default: 1,  Range: 0 or greater.
Scales the blurred green channel.

Scale Blue:   Default: 1,  Range: 0 or greater.
Scales the blurred blue channel.

Subpixel:   Check-box,  Default: off,  Shared.
Enables blurring by subpixel amounts. Use this for smoother animation of any of the blur amount parameters.

Offset Darks:   Default: 0,  Range: any.
Adds this gray value to the darker regions of the result. This can be negative to increase contrast.

Offset Red:   Default: 0,  Range: any.
Adds this value to the red channel of the result.

Offset Green:   Default: 0,  Range: any.
Adds this value to the green channel of the result.

Offset Blue:   Default: 0,  Range: any.
Adds this value to the blue channel of the result.

Mix With Source:   Default: 0,  Range: 0 to 1.
Interpolates between the blurred result (0) and the original source (1). 0.1 can give a nice misty effect since it mixes only a little of the source in.

Invert Mask:   Check-box,  Default: off.
If enabled, inverts the mask input so the effect is applied to areas where the Mask is black instead of white.
