What are blur and shadow effects, and how to use them?

Blur and shadow effects are basic editing tools that help you customize the look of your video elements. You can use them to make your content look more polished, or add more visual depth to your video.

What Is the Blur Effect?

The Blur effect softens the appearance of a selected video element. It can be used to create a smoother look, reduce sharp details, or make certain visuals feel more subtle in the background.

Blur can be useful when you want to:

  • Soften a video, image, or visual element

  • Create a background-style effect

  • Reduce distractions in a specific part of your video

  • Give your video a more polished or stylized appearance

What Is the Shadow Effect?

The Shadow effect adds a shadow behind the selected video element. This helps the element stand out more clearly from the background and can add depth to your design.

Shadow can be useful when you want to:

  • Make a video, image, or visual element more visible

  • Add depth to your layout

  • Help an element stand out from the background

  • Create a more professional-looking design
