Trying to Sync Blur effect with drum

[Juggernaut]

is this possible to do in Edius? what i want to do is when it gets to a certain sound, which will be a drum sound, i want the picture to blur real fast, thanks for any help

You can do it a couple of ways, depending on how much finess it requires.

The simple way is to use Blend and then key frame a blur filter appropriately. I'd also suggest combining the blur with a Raster Wipe (adjusted) to give a 'wobbly' effect too. Experiment with this..

Thanks alot for the quick reply! ill let you know what i come up with

[pjsssss]

Mercali has a "camera shake" plugin that might help

still slightly new to Edius, where do i go to add a keyframe? sorry , thanks guys

Use the "Blend Filters" filter.

Hmm the only problem I see with Blend filter is that it just adjust the opacity of the effect (in this case blur) so it does not really adjust the blur value. But to the OP, give it a try to see if it's what you're looking for.

okay the only problem im having now is getting it to only blur when the drum goes off, im not seeing anywhere where i can adjust it to go of the moment the drum goes off

[Fred Dwyer]

I would expect you can clearly see your drum beats on your audio waveform. Set your blend filters keyframes to Max blur at each of those points, and down to blur off in between.
