Gaussian Blur
A type of blur effect using a Gaussian function.
What is a Gaussian blur in ScreenFlow?
A Gaussian blur in ScreenFlow is a type of visual effect that can be applied to video or image elements within the software. Named after mathematician Carl Friedrich Gauss, the Gaussian blur is a type of image-blurring filter that uses a Gaussian function. This effect is typically used to reduce image noise and detail, creating a smoothing or blurring effect.
In ScreenFlow, a video editing and screen recording software, the Gaussian blur effect can be applied to any video or image element in the timeline. This can be used to blur out sensitive information, create a depth of field effect, or simply to create a stylistic visual effect. The intensity of the blur can be adjusted, allowing for a range of effects from a subtle softening to a more pronounced blur.
How to add Gaussian Blur in ScreenFlow?
In ScreenFlow, adding a Gaussian Blur effect can be done through the video properties panel. First, select the clip you want to apply the blur to. Then, navigate to the video properties panel, which is typically located on the right side of the screen.
In the video properties panel, you will find a variety of options for modifying your clip. Look for the "Video Filters" section. Click on the "Add Video Filter" button, which will open a dropdown menu with a list of available filters. Scroll down until you find the "Gaussian Blur" option and click on it.
Once you've added the Gaussian Blur filter, you can adjust the intensity of the blur using the slider that appears under the filter in the video properties panel. Move the slider to the right to increase the blur, or to the left to decrease it. Remember to preview your changes to ensure the effect is as desired before finalizing your video.
How to adjust the intensity of Gaussian Blur in ScreenFlow?

Why is my Gaussian Blur not working in ScreenFlow?
There could be several reasons why your Gaussian Blur is not working in ScreenFlow. One common issue could be that the software is outdated or not updated to the latest version. ScreenFlow regularly releases updates to fix bugs and improve performance, so make sure you have the latest version installed.
Another possible reason could be related to the specific settings you are using for the Gaussian Blur effect. If the settings are not correct, the effect may not work as expected. Make sure you have correctly set the radius and the standard deviation parameters.
