# Stylize Effects

> Soften, sharpen, frame, and reframe clips with blur, vignette, and crop.

export const DemoVideo = ({src, poster, caption, aspectRatio = "16 / 10", className = ""}) => {
  return <figure className={`not-prose my-6 w-full ${className}`}>
      <div className="overflow-hidden rounded-2xl border border-gray-950/10 bg-gray-100 dark:border-white/10 dark:bg-white/5" style={{
    aspectRatio
  }}>
        <video src={src} poster={poster} loop autoPlay muted playsInline className="h-full w-full object-cover" />
      </div>
      {caption && <figcaption className="mt-2 text-center text-sm text-gray-500 dark:text-gray-400">
          {caption}
        </figcaption>}
    </figure>;
};

Four effects handle the look of a clip beyond color: blur and sharpen for focus, vignette for framing the eye, and crop for masking edges.

## Blur

Blur lives on the **Transform** sub-tab, next to scale and position. The **Blur** field sets a Gaussian blur radius from 0 to 64 pixels — 0 is fully sharp, and even a few pixels reads as soft focus.

Blur is keyframable: click the diamond next to the field to set a value at the current frame, then set a different value later to animate a rack-focus or a defocused intro. Blur keyframes show up as their own row in the [timeline's keyframe view](/studio/timeline#keyframes).

## Sharpen

Add **Sharpen** from the **Effects** rack. Its **Amount** slider (0 to 2) boosts edge contrast to recover crispness in soft footage. Push it gently — high values exaggerate noise and halo edges.

## Vignette

Add **Vignette** from the **Effects** rack to darken the frame's edges and pull attention to the center:

| Parameter     | Range | Default | What it does                                                                                   |
| ------------- | ----- | ------- | ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- |
| **Amount**    | 0–1   | 0       | How dark the edges get                                                                         |
| **Feather**   | 0–1   | 0.5     | How gradually the darkening ramps in — low values give a hard ring, high values a soft falloff |
| **Roundness** | 0–1   | 0.5     | The shape of the vignette, from a wide oval matching the frame to a tighter circle             |

## Crop

Add **Crop** from the **Effects** rack to mask the clip's edges. Four sliders — **Left**, **Right**, **Top**, **Bottom** — each trim away a fraction of the frame from 0 (no crop) to 1 (the full dimension). The cropped area becomes transparent, so anything on tracks below shows through.

<Tip>
  Crop trims within the clip's own frame. To change how the clip fills the canvas instead, use the **Fit** setting on the [Compositing tab](/studio/inspector#properties).
