Clarity Obscured | All I can see is Bokeh | My focus is lost
A quick introduction to using blurs in After Effects and Fusion 5. We cover the Box Blur, Gaussian Blur, and the Lens blur. Custom blur shapes and how to match the bokeh pattern from a specific lens are covered in Fusion 5.
Here’s a link to the wikipedia and flickr pages that I mention in the tutorials:

Here’s a link to the Awake plugins that I use in Fusion:

hellow sir. i watched this tutorial. Its great and awasome. I like digital fusion. but the problem is i’m perfect with Aftereffects. but it loves more ram. and more disadvantages when we comparing AE and Fusion. And also I’m a Maya user. I think its better to Shift to Fusion fropm AE.
So I like to knw; if you can please give us basic lesson series on Fusion. its better for new beginners like me. . . so anyway; please do it if you can. i hope more fusion tutorials in future . . .
ok?
Thank you very much sir . . .

Hi Amila,
Some basic fusion tutorials sound like a great idea. I’ll be sure to add that to the list of tutorials that i’ll be doing. I’ll try and get to that one sooner than later!
Thanks!

very cool! thanks
let me ask you something – how fast does fusion run on parallels? in this case, is it worth doing VM instead of bootcamp?
October 23rd, 2009 at 9:52 am
Hey Plugues,
Fusion runs ok on Parallels. I wouldn’t want to be running anything else on the system at the same time, as fusion is very RAM and processor hungry. I have Bootcamp installed as well, and when i’m doing anything intensive, I always switch into Bootcamp to run Fusion.
For simple tutorials and messing around, Parallels is fine, but for anything serious, I have to go to Bootcamp.

Would be great if you throw some knowledge on motion blurs too
October 26th, 2009 at 9:11 pm
Sure thing. I’ll definitely add that to the list!

Very great tutorial! This is ninja style ; ) Keep on doing! Do you have a 64Bit version of Windows running on Bootcamp?
December 18th, 2009 at 4:13 pm
No Win64 yet on Bootcamp. I haven’t given that a try yet, since 32bit has been working out ok for me so far
Thanks!

Hi,
great tutorials. I appreciate investigating core principles rather than one click solutions.
Quick question, is the frequency blur a plugin? I can’t seem to find it.
Thanks, Liam.

Hi Liam,
Glad you’re enjoying the tutorials! Yes, Frequency blur is part of the Awake plugins from Frantic Films (prime focus). You can get them here:

They’re also linked at the top of this page in the info section.

[...] exact than Motionworks’ quicktip but branching to other territory is Blur 100: Introduction to Blurs, a video by Vfx Hauiku. He doesn’t talk about Frischluft Lenscare, an AE filter used by many [...]
