Well, Sometimes, you find yourself in a position about a thing you are in need and you don’t know whether you really have it or not. And not knowing, you find another way to do your work which sometime takes time.

Instructional Tutorial:

Anyhow, I have recently created a tutorial about blurring the background of a horizontal video clip where I,ve showed a work around of blurring the background in shotcut whereas shotcut has a filter that does the same work in seconds. And I have been informed about the filter in the comments section by “DaRunningMan . And I highly appreciate the help and support.

Anyhow, lets use the concerned filter to blur the background of a horizontal video clip and here you can see that I have already added the concerned clip in the timeline after bringing it into the shotcut.

And, to blur the background, Select the clip, and click on the filter tab. and if you don’t see the filter tab here you can find it here in the tool bar then click on the plus sign and search a filter named blur then from the provided options, select “Blur: Pad”.

Now, just select the top and bottom area and you can use the slider to blur the background according to your need and this is how you can blur the background of a horizontal video clip by using blur: pad filter and, I hope this will be helpful for someone out there and thanks for watching.
