Simple Frosted-Glass Look

Question

Thanks guys for all the tips you give here. I try to follow many of them thru, to see if I'm learning anything.

On the PP forum there is currently a question regards Essential Graphics, the OP wants a look he can achieve in PP but not in AE. I thought I'd try to get one going, but I can't seem to duplicate the PP look.

Here's the thread: Adjustment Layer and Essential Graphics

He's trying to get this look in AE,

But only came up with this (like myself)

I tried putting a blur on a layer, then duplicating the layer and putting a mask on, and several iterations of that including a pre-comp of the blurred/lightened image.. any tips would be appreciated, thanks very much.

Just apply a blur and then a mask. Under Effects>GaussianBlur>Compositing Options choose the mask. Job done.

You can reduce the amount of blur by using the 'Blurriness' control.

If you apply a 'Levels' effect and adjust the 'output black' this will do what you want. Make sure to choose your mask again under the compositing options.
