Compound Blur
Blurs an object using the specied channel of a designated map image. You can use any shape,
text object, still image, or movie le as the map image. You can select any red, green, blue, alpha,
or luminance channel to create the shape of the blur.
Tip: Use this lter to blur specic sections of an image. For example: trace the subject of the
image to blur with a Bezier or B-spline shape, then assign this shape as the Blur Map image. Use
its Luminance or Alpha channel to dene the blurred area, then turn o the original shape object
in the Layers list or Timeline to hide the source of the blur. For more information, see Edit shape
ll, outline, and feathering on page 837.
This lter causes rasterization in 3D groups. For more information on rasterization, see Groups
and rasterization on page 1045.
