Gaussian Blur

The Gaussian Blur effect softens the image and eliminates noise. Adobe Media Encoder applies the Gaussian Blur effect as a pre-encoding task. This step minimizes the noise that the encoder would otherwise have to encode. It results in quicker encoding, smaller output file sizes, better image quality, and often an improvement in the display of motion. You can specify the direction of the blur. Select the Output tab to preview the results of this effect.

Blurriness: Controls the amount of blur. Higher numbers cause more blur. Drag the hot text, or type a number, to specify the amount of blur.
Blur Dimension: Controls the direction of the blur. Select either Horizontal And Vertical, Horizontal, or Vertical from the menu.

Note: You can remove noise and grain from a project for reasons other than improved encoding and reduction of compressed file size. Consider the Noise & Grain effects, or blur effects, in Adobe Premiere Pro and After Effects.
