Gaussian blur.

Soften a layer with adjustable Gaussian blur.

Gaussian Blur softens a moving image while other layers stay sharp. Here a coastal shot becomes a quieter background as a title appears, with a separate translucent veil supporting contrast. The video, blur amount, veil and typography remain independent editable layers.

A prompt to start from

Use Strata. Create an eight-second silent landscape Strata blur reveal using the packaged coastal walking shot. Begin with continuous untreated full-screen footage. Between 1.2 and 3.1 seconds, animate its Gaussian Blur from 0 to 38, preserving the moving image underneath. Fade in a separate 35% Charcoal contrast veil as the blur builds, then a large neutral Bone Exposure -30 headline, “Find your focus.”, centered horizontally and vertically. Keep all text sharp above the effect. Use small Denim INK Strata and Gaussian blur labels at 96 px outer margins. Keep video, blur, contrast veil and typography independently editable. Required inputs: the coastal source clip and brand fonts. Review both the onset and settled composition for clipped blur edges and typography contrast.
