BlurDirectional In the S_Blurs Plugin. Blurs the source clip in a given direction using a gaussian, triangle, or box filter. It can also blur each channel by different amounts. Inputs: Source:  The clip to be processed.

Parameters:

Angle:   Default: 45,  Range: any.
The direction of the blur. An angle of 0 produces a horizontal blur, and an angle of 90 produces a vertical blur. This parameter can be adjusted using the Angle Widget.

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

Blur Red:   Default: 1,  Range: 0 or greater.
The blur width of the red channel, relative to Blur Amount.

Blur Green:   Default: 1,  Range: 0 or greater.
The blur width of the green channel, relative to Blur Amount.

Blur Blue:   Default: 1,  Range: 0 or greater.
The blur width of the blue channel, relative to Blur Amount.

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.

Bias:   Default: 0.5,  Range: 0 to 1.
Varies the weight of the pixels along the path of the blur, which gives the appearance of trails or streaks in a single direction. A value of 0.5 weights all pixels evenly. A value of 1 causes the weight to increase toward the direction of the blur, while a value of 0 has the opposite effect.

Shift:   Default: 0,  Range: any.
Shifts the image in the direction of the blur. A negative shift amount shifts the image in the opposite direction.

Shift Red:   Default: 0,  Range: any.
Additional amount to shift the red color channel.

Shift Green:   Default: 0,  Range: any.
Additional amount to shift the green color channel.

Shift Blue:   Default: 0,  Range: any.
Additional amount to shift the blue color channel.

Edge Mode:   Popup menu,  Default: REFLECT.
Determines the behavior when accessing areas outside the source image.

BLACK:  Areas outside the source image are treated as black, which can produce dark areas around the edges of the image. Select this for fastest rendering.

REPEAT:  Repeats the last pixel outside the border of the image.

REFLECT:  Reflects the image outside the border.

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

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

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.
