Background Blur

[MusicalBox]

Hi @MandoKeith

Read this thread:

[Resolved] How to focus blur?

I need to focus on part of my video and blur around it. I know programs like GIMP have feature called Focus Blur, but I don’t seem to find it in Shotcut. Searching tutorials did not help me either or I did not find the right one. I need a simple effect like this, what is the trick to make it happen in Shotcut?: [image]

You can probably adapt the method explained there to fit your need.
You’ll probably just need to change the shape and/or dimensions of the mask.
Note thought that not ALL the background will be blurred.
