BlurMonochrome In the S_Blurs Plugin. Similar to Blur, but first makes the source monochrome, and then blurs the resulting single channel. If you are blurring a monochrome clip, use this option for faster processing. Inputs: Source:  The clip to be processed.

Parameters:

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

Blur Rel:   X & Y,   Default: [1 1],  Range: 0 or greater,  Shared.
The relative horizontal and vertical blur widths. Set Blur Rel X to 0 for a vertical-only blur, or set Blur Rel Y to 0 for a horizontal-only blur. 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.

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

Subpixel:   Check-box,  Default: off,  Shared.
Enables blurring by subpixel amounts. Use this for smoother animation of the Blur Amount or Blur Rel parameters.

Mix With Source:   Default: 0,  Range: 0 to 1,  Shared.
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.
