SoftFocus

Combines a blurred version of the source with the original to give a 'soft focus' effect. Adjust the Width and Mix parameters to give different types of looks.

Inputs:

Source:  The clip to be processed.
        

Parameters:

Width:   Default: 0.2,  Range: 0 or greater.
Scales the width of the soft focus blur. This parameter can be adjusted using the Width Widget.

Width Rel:   X & Y,   Default: [1 1],  Range: 0 or greater.
The relative horizontal and vertical blur widths. Set Width Rel X to 0 for a vertical-only blur, or set Width Rel Y to 0 for a horizontal-only blur. This parameter can be adjusted using the Width Widget.

Mix With Blurred:   Default: 0,  Range: 0 to 1.
If positive, mixes in more of the blurred version of the source.

Mix With Source:   Default: 0,  Range: 0 to 1.
If positive, increases the amount of original source in the result.

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.

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