HUD Controls
The HUD contains the following controls: Amount, Radius, and Crop.
Compound Blur
Blurs an object using the specified channel of a designated map image. You can use any
shape, text object, still image, or movie file 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 filter to blur specific 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 define the blurred area, then turn off the
original shape object in the Layers list or Timeline to hide the source of the blur. For more
information, see Editing Shapes.
