Description

This effect/filter pixelizes the input image. It works similar to the Obscure effect but allows you to control the block size individually and independently from the image size, but by contrast applies it to the entire frame. In order to apply the effect only to a certain region use it in combination with the Alpha Shapes (Mask) effect.

See also Pixelize (advanced).

Parameters

ParameterValueDescription
Block WidthIntegerHorizontal size of one “pixel”
Block HeightIntegerVertical size of one “pixel”

Note You can set the block size independently from each other generating elongated pixels. In order to produce square pixels you need to take the aspect ratio of your project into account. The default values are already with the correct aspect ratio. *[RGB]: Red, Green, Blue *[VFX]: Visual Effects *[feathering]: Smoothing or blurring the edges of a feature *[LFO]: Low-Frequency Oscillation *[dB]: decibel *[LUFS]: Loudness Units Full Scale *[AI]: Artificial Intelligence *[LLM]: Large Language Model *[HSV]: Hue, Saturation, Value *[SOP/Sat]: S(lope), O(ffset), P(ower) / SATuration *[CDL]: Color Decision List *[HSL]: Hue, Saturation, Lightness - Using HSL color space is useful for subtle color changes *[px]: pixel *[hh:mm:ss:ff]: hours:minutes:seconds:frames *[Hz]: Hertz
