Radial Blur is a visual effect that simulates the appearance of motion caused by rotating or zooming the camera. It creates streaks that radiate outward from a central point (like a spinning wheel or an explosion), or swirl around a center (like a vortex). In FL Studio, this effect is found within the Video Player and ZGameEditor Visualizer plugins, and can also be applied to automatable control elements.
Note: FL Studio is primarily digital audio workstation (DAW) software, but it includes powerful video and visual effects (mostly via ZGameEditor Visualizer). Radial Blur is a visual effect, not an audio effect. fl radial blur
Center and Size: You can move the center point of the blur effect by clicking and dragging the cross in the grid to a new location. This changes where the blur radiates from. Radial Blur is a visual effect that simulates
Apply and Adjust: Click OK to apply the effect. If needed, you can go to Edit > Fade (or use the shortcut Ctrl+Shift+F or Command+Shift+F) to adjust the opacity and blending mode of the blurred layer. Note: FL Studio is primarily digital audio workstation
Once you add a Radial Blur effect in ZGameEditor, you will see adjustable properties. These may vary slightly by preset, but generally include:
| Parameter | What it does | |-----------|----------------| | Center X / Y | Sets the point from which the blur radiates (0 to 1 range; 0.5,0.5 is center). | | Amount | Intensity of the blur. Higher values = longer streaks. | | Falloff | How the blur fades toward the edges (soft vs sharp radial effect). | | Angle | Direction of the blur (0° = pure zoom out, 90° = circular swirl, etc.). | | Samples | Quality setting – more samples = smoother but heavier on CPU/GPU. | | Opacity | Blend the blurred image over the original. |
Some advanced presets also include:
