In this tutorial, we’ll show you three ways to blur the edges of a video: one for the free version of VSDC, and another two for the Pro version of VSDC. You’ll be able to control the blur levels and adjust the area that remains in focus.

Blurred edges are a great way to achieve a special, dreamy atmosphere in a video, highlight an object or better capture viewers’ attention.

As a bonus, we’ll also show you a quick trick to create a blurred-edge circle that will follow moving objects in the video.
