Gaussian Blur
What is gaussian blur and when should it be used?
GLOSSARY
Gaussian Blur is widely used in motion graphics and photography to create a soft-focus effect by blurring the edges of pixels. This technique helps in reducing noise and detail in images, making it ideal for creating backgrounds, transitions, and focus effects that don't distract from the main elements.
In a motion graphic piece focused on a product, applying Gaussian blur to the background elements can help in drawing the viewer's attention directly to the product, ensuring it stands out sharply against a softly blended backdrop.
In the Majestic Elegance Background template from Videobolt, Gaussian Blur is utilized to enhance the luxurious and sophisticated feel of the animated background. This effect blurs parts of the scene, adding depth and focusing the viewer's attention on key elements, such as text or specific animations. By softening the edges and blending the transitions, Gaussian Blur helps create a visual experience that elevates the overall aesthetic of any project.

Technical definition
Gaussian blur works by averaging the pixels around a target pixel within a defined radius, smoothly transitioning the colors. Adjusting the radius size controls the extent of the blur, allowing for subtle to extensive diffusion effects.
