Frequently Asked Questions

What is radial blur?

Radial blur creates blur that radiates from a central point, simulating spinning or zooming motion instead of straight directional movement.

How is radial blur different from motion blur?

Motion blur adds linear, directional streaks, while radial blur creates circular or zoom-based blur around a center point.

Can I control the center of the blur?

Yes. You can adjust the center point and intensity to control where the blur originates.

Does radial blur work on videos?

Yes. Radial blur works on both images and videos and can be applied in real time.

Can radial blur be combined with other effects?

Absolutely. Radial blur pairs well with glow, bloom, color effects, and distortions for dramatic visuals.
