S_DissolveBlur Transitions between two input clips while blurring each. The first clip is blurred and faded out while the second clip is unblurred and faded in. The Dissolve Amount parameter should be animated to control the transition speed. In the Sapphire Transitions effects submenu. Inputs: From:  Starts the transition with this clip. To:  Ends the transition with this clip.

Parameters:

Dissolve Amount:   Default: 0,  Range: -0.5 to 1.5.
The transition ratio between the From and To inputs. A value of 0 gives only the From input and a value of 1 gives only the To input. By default this parameter automatically animates from 0 to 1 to perform a complete transition.

Blur Amount:   Default: 0.5,  Range: 0 or greater.
Scales the width of the blur.

Blur Rel:   X & Y,   Default: [1 0],  Range: 0 or greater.
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.

Blur Rel From:   Default: 1,  Range: 0 or greater.
Scales the amount of blur applied to the first clip. Set to 0 to fade out with no blur.

Blur Rel To:   Default: 1,  Range: 0 or greater.
Scales the amount of blur applied to the second clip. Set to 0 to fade in with no blur.

Blur 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.
