About Pixelan BlurBlender Pro
Pixelan BlurBlender Pro is a blur‑effects plugin for After Effects (CS5‑CC+) and Premiere Pro (CS4‑CC+) that provides more than 650 GPU‑accelerated blur presets. Users can shape, blend, and mask these blurs, apply them to titles, lower‑thirds, and other alpha‑channel graphics, and control where the blur appears in a scene. The plugin supports keyframing of blur direction, length, and other parameters for wind, flare, light‑ray, spot, edge, and tilt‑shift styles, and offers randomisation within precise constraints. A large Effects Browser lets you compare, mark, and organise presets per project or client, while Section Presets supply multiple variations for blur or sharpen controls. Near‑real‑time rendering relies on a DirectX 9‑compatible graphics card with Shader Model 3.0 on Windows, and the same GPU‑based acceleration on macOS (Intel or M1) using supported hardware.
