Double click on the node to open its parameters:

Blurring the mask

  • In the drop-down box, choose one of the four blur effects:
    • Swirl clockwise
    • Swirl counter clockwise
    • Zoom in
    • Zoom out

The first two produce a blur effect in the form of a swirl: clockwise for the first and counterclockwise for the second.

The other two effects create a blur effect by zooming in or out of the mask.

  • Intensity: Defines the intensity of the blur to apply.
  • X and Y: Defines the center of the blur to be applied by modifying the X and Y parameters or by dragging the manipulator. The image below shows an example of a blur with two different positions for the center.
