After Smart Blur

Here's your friendly reminder of the fact that an amazing effect called "Smart Blur" exists in Adobe After Effects. It removes the grains from older movies and smooths everything out. Depending on your footage, the settings may vary, but the settings for this shot is 20 on both radius and threshold.

So, making a “Fire and ice, but it’s only Teegra” video for editing purposes has been no easy task.

Once I had cut the movie so it was only the shots with Teegra in them, and then put the file into AAE, it kept saying there wasn’t enough space when I started rendering it with the smart blur effect on it.

Even though I have literally 1TB...

Just me advertising this AMAZING EFFECT in Adobe After Effects if you haven’t heard of it already;

I’ve showcased this before with Holli in my “Cool world in HD” where I’ve shared a download to all the Holli clips in a “remastered version” where I used this smart blur effect on all her scenes to remove the grains from her movie.

This is the bluray release of The Swan Princess, but it still has a lot of grains on it. No problem! Just add the smart blur effect; radius at 8.0 and threshold at 5.0 and the grains are gone.

I’m currently masking a bunch of Odette masks, and adding the smart blur effect to them, and those masks will be shared on my YT channel once I’m done with all 30 I’m planning on making.
