Скачать или смотреть After Effects Classic Courses: Compound Blur 1 - The Pros

An important concept in After Effects is the idea of a “blur map”: a layer that tells you how to blur another layer. This is often used in compositing – often in conjunction with multi-channel 3d renders – to help you create a sense of depth by blurring areas that the camera’s not focused on. But it there are also a lot of creative uses for blur maps, as well.

This first movie focuses on how to put it the original Compound Blur effect to good use. The second will point out some of its shortcomings, and suggest an alternative.

These movies previously appeared in our Insight Into Effects course on Lynda.com/LinkedIn Learning. They've retired that course from their library, so we're making them available publicly for free. These videos are usually accompanied by short posts on our ProVideo Coalition blog channel: https://www.provideocoalition.com/c-t...
