Blur filter pallet?

Hi,
   I'm working in Flash CS4, and have a bit of a puzzle...
I'm trying to use the filter palette to create a blur effect on a movie clip symbol form my library. I've used it before on other projects, but for some reason it doesn't show up in my pallet options anymore. My symbol is a movie clip graphic I converted from text, but I've also tried other library symbols (both as movie clip and graphic symbols) and the Filter options still don't show up...
I looked under "Window" to see if I had somehow inadvertantly closed that palette window, but I didn't see "Filter" in the list... any assistance would be greatly appreciated, as it's become a maddening obsession to figure out what I did to lose this option...
Thanks in advance!
Jesse

Is there a scroll bar on the right side of the properties panel? Occasionally in custom workspaces when more window panels/components are installed it can possibly be unseen without scrolling?
I have confirmed the properties and filters method described above, and I simply cannot recreate your description.
Try this. Open flash, create a new as3 file, select frame one layer one, using text tool on a single layer, click on stage and type some random text, unselect, then select with selection tool, then convert to symbol, use movieclip for this example, once converted to symbol, give symbol an instance name, unselect, then with selection tool reselect object, then select properties, in the properties panel you should see the filters option (you may possibly have to scroll down to it), it will be blank however, at bottom of filters panel there is an icon, new filter, select if it appears, should give you filter options to apply. If not you may have a corruption in flash, if no filters, my recommendation would be to uninstall and reinstall flash, as I could not see anything else it could be.

  • How can i view the ellipse and the points on the ellipse in order to modify the settings when i'm using the iris blur filter on Photoshop CC 2014

    I can't use this blur filter (diaphragm) because i see nothing that could allow me to increase, decrease or move the ellipse that normally appear(?) on the screen. What's amazing is that this filter does his job on photoshop CS6, but not on Photoshop CC 2014 ?! Thanks in advance for your help.  Serge.

    Start from the beginning
    - Select the Rectangle Tool - go to Options Bar, ensure 'Shape' options is on from the the Pick a Tool Mode drop down list.
    - Draw Rect. This should create a vector Shape Layer.
    - Select it in the Layers Panel: The Properties Panel then should highlight the Density and Feather options.
    What happens here when you drag the Feather slider? On my end it feathers the vector shape as a whole.
    If you need further masking capabilities, then apply a Layer Mask to the Shape and proceed with the Properties Panel Density/Feather options.

  • How do I apply the blur filter to all my layers at the same time?

    Hi I'm working on a background for a web page and I want to try how different filters are going to affect all the layers. Is it possible to apply a filter to all the layers without flattening the file first? Thanks very much,
    Cathy

    Thanks very much , that's really helpful,Cathy

    Subject: How do I apply the blur filter to all my layers at the same time?
    Hello!
    There is no need to flatten the file, but you can create a layer that merges all the content of the image, and apply the filter on that layer.
    Target the topmost layer, by holding the Option and . (period) keys, then create a merged copy by holding down Command Shift Option E.

  • Can the tilt shift blur filter be used in a smart object?

    can the tilt shift blur filter be used in a smart object?

    I could be wrong, because I don't have PS in front of my, but I'm pretty sure the capability to use those blurs in smart objects was added in CC.

  • Blur filter question

    Hi there,
    I'm in the planning phase for a project and was wondering if it is possible to dynamically blur video using the blur filter? Specifically, I want to:
    1) Stream an flv file, and apply the blur to the left and right edges of the video, so that they become clear on mouseover.
    2) Blur the whole video, and have only the region closest to the mouse pointer clear, which will follow mouse movements.
    3) Feather the blur, from blurred to clear
    What sort of additional system resources does the blur filter require? Will it increase the swf file size much?
    Thanks for your help!
    Dave

    Thanks for the quick reply kglad. So is there no way to have a gradual blur? Does the area to be blurred have to have crisp edges like http://imm.sheridanc.on.ca/imm2006/alducent/tutorial/blur.html ? I really need to have the region that follows the cursor to be in focus (showing the flv behind), and then have it gradually blur more and more the further away from the cursor.
    Thanks,
    Dave

  • CS 5.5 plug-ins - sans Lens Blur Filter

    hello the BASIC Lens Blur filter from AE 5 is NOT showing up in AE 5.5 - and yes its in the correct folder in AE 5.5 but its not a choice in the effects menu
    any solution suggestion?

    Lens blur is not included in 5.5 as a selectable option.
    However, you can add lens blur to a layer in CS5, then open or import the project in CS5.5. The filter will show up and you can copy and paste it to another layer. It's kind of a wonky workaround, but it will work.
    I'd love to see a project where the new filter won't do what the old one did. Blur map is the new Depth Map. If you have an example, even WO footage I'd love to take a look at it.

  • LR/PS - Applying the Lens Blur Filter for Selective Focus | Adobe Evangelists - Julieanne Kost | Adobe TV

    In this episode of The Complete Picture, Julieanne Kost shows us how to get great results with the Lens Blur Filter in Adobe Photoshop CS4.
    http://adobe.ly/x3bXus

    After you make the blur over the full picture, you quickly switch to the gradient panel, but you say it so fast that I don't know what you pressed to get there. It sounds like you say tap the "g" key for gradient. But when I do that, the paint bucket tool appears. Help?

  • Scrubby sliders in the Lens Blur Filter in PS CC 2014 behaving erratically.

    The scrubby sliders in the Lens Blur Filter in PS CC 2014 are behaving erratically. In PS CC no problems. I may be mistaken, but I think I read somewhere that this filter only works on 8bit images.
    In PS CC it works on 16bit, and in PS CC 2014 (no third-party plugins) nothing works. Could this have something to do with the Graphic Card, or Cache Levels? All advice appreciated.

    Sorry, no solution to the problem, but a confirmation. I do have the same problem (Intuos Pro and Pen & Touch) showing the problem with ACR 8.5 and Photoshop (2014, CC and 6, these were updated with ACR 8.5) . No such problem before ACR 8.5 and no problem with LR 5.5 (also containing ACR 8.5).
    I hope there will be a solution from Adobe soon, since sems to be caused by the ACR update.
    Windows 8.1 in my case and latest Wacom Intuos driver installed.

  • Blur filter missing when publishing the movie

    In one movie I use some blur filter on a movie clip. I see
    the effect when I play the timeline directly inside flash (by
    pressing enter). But when I "Test movie" or publish the movie the
    blur filter is gone.
    I have encoutnered this problem twice now and I don't know
    why this is happening. I usually do not have this problem but
    suddenly the blur-filter stops working.
    Publish settings are correct what i can see (version: Flash
    Player 9 )
    Anyone encountered the same problem?

    Ok, I found out what the problem was. Im having a png-image
    inside the movie clip I use the blurr filter on. And it seems like
    there is a size-limit on the image when you are using filters. I
    made the image a bit smaller and the blur came back and then made
    it bigger and bigger in steps and just before I reached the
    original image size the blurr filter stopped working again. I don't
    know if the limit is on the pixel size or the kb of the image, but
    some sort of size limit is there.

  • Flash 8 display 'jumping text' Bug after Blur filter

    I think I found a display bug/glitch with blur effect in
    Flash 8.
    (I'm using the MC TWEEN actionscript method.)
    I need to apply a blur filter to a Movieclip with dynamic
    text.
    When scrolling this Movieclip the text 'jumps' about causing
    visual glitch
    and a slow down...
    I have tweened the blur filter back to 0 and I have also set
    Movieclip.filters=[];
    Has anyone else experienced this problem? Is there a fix?
    Thanks,
    David

    If this problem is reproducible, than submit to a bug list at

    Perhaps could be eliminated in future release.

  • Where is the SURFACE BLUR filter?

    In Photoshop CS2, there is a surface blur filter. I need to use it now, but I can't find its plugin although I have Photoshop CS2 SDK now.
    Where can I call the "surface blur" function?
    Thank you!

    Thank you very much for your information.
    But I want to call this function in my VC++ codes. Could you tell me how to do?
    Best regards.

  • Blur Filter and Motion Tweens

    Hello, I am creating an animation in which about 5 movie
    clips that have blur filters move across the screen. One movie clip
    starts with a gradient blur filter, and moves up the screen while
    the blur disappears. This movie clip seems to slow down everything
    completely.
    Is there any way to speed this up a bit?
    here is a link to my very rough work in progress (note: the
    swf is very slow):

    I don't know that I have any good news for you on this one. I
    had a similar situation where I wanted to create four 'blurry'
    spotlights that roamed the screen along tween paths. What I found
    was that having four different shaped 'lights' in stationary
    positions, but all contained within a single movie clip with one
    blurred filter was my best solution.
    What may work for you is putting the five movie clips inside
    one movie clip and blurring the 'containing' clip.

  • Iris shapes in lens blur filter

    Hi,
    In earlier versions of Photoshop the lens blur filter offered the ability to choose the iris shape one wished to apply to bokeh being created.
    I can't seem to find that in the new filter gallery.
    Anyone know where it is hiding?

    Good day!
    Could you please post a screenshot with the Layers Panel visible?
