How to blur in Capcut. “Blur” is an effect and technique in photography and videography that can make certain objects in an image become out of focus so that they appear blurry and indistinct.
The blur video effect can be created manually when taking or recording a video using the camera. The blur effect will be seen if you only focus the camera on one object, so that other objects that are not in focus will look blurry.
In addition, you can also give a blur effect to the video using video editing applications. You can use the blur effect in video editing apps to censor certain objects or parts of the video, make the video background blurry, and so on.
One of the video editing apps for Android devices that you can use to blur videos is Capcut. With this Capcut app, you can blur the entire video, or only in the background or certain parts of the video.
In the following I will give an example of a tutorial on how to blur videos in Capcut app for you to learn or if you need to practice.
