    About

    In practice. What you can do with Universe Spot Blur.

    Universe Spot Blur is a Universe postproduction plugin. Its purpose: blur inside or outside a rectangular or elliptical region.

    Compare the result with functions already available in your host. Judge control over a real shot rather than the number of available presets.

    Access is through Universe, also included in Red Giant and Maxon One. This is not a standalone purchase priced at the cost of the suite. Check the plugin against your exact host version. Archive source material and a final render rather than relying only on a plugin-dependent project.
