Parameters in the Inspector
Look: Sets the type of blur operation. This pop-up menu has two options:
• Variable: The blur increases toward the edges of the image. This option is faster when
using high blur values.
• Uniform: The blur is consistent from the center of the image outward.
Amount: Sets the radius of the blur. Drag the small circle (above the Center onscreen
control) to adjust the amount of the blur in the Canvas.
Swirl: Sets the quantity and direction of the swirl. Positive and negative values affect the
direction of the swirl.
Center: Sets the position of the center of the blur. Drag the Center onscreen control to
adjust its value in the Canvas.
Crop: Sets whether the object is cropped at its original boundaries.
Mix: Sets the percentage of the original image to be blended with the blurred image.
Publish OSC: Publishes the filter’s onscreen controls in Final Cut Pro X. For more
information on creating content for use in Final Cut Pro, see Creating Templates for
Final Cut Pro X.
