Fine Tuning Gaussian Blur...?

What happens when 0.001 in gaussian blur is still too much. Where do you (can you) go from there?

don't know. Sadly, sony never released a plain "blur" plugin. :'(

Maybe there's another blur plugin out there?

What about rendering the video not to an intermediate, but rather something that will soften the video?

scale up the project. if its 720x540, change project to 1440x1080.

not great for workflow but an option :)

The project is 1920x1080.

Have moved to MB and fine tuned the diffusion filter. Should have thought of that before posting.

Thanks, guys!

You could try increasing project resolution to 4K.

What I do is Duplicate Track.
Top track, no Gaussian Blur.
Bottom track, smallest Gaussian Blur.

Top track, lower the % opacity as desired.

Of course, plan a several day render.

Edited: Spot gave me a heads up on this technique
