My gaussian blur won't work at all

[calebm5301870]

I'm new to posting and I've looked around to see if I could solve the problem but I can't figure anything out. I'm in the latest version of premiere and I'm trying to add a gaussian blur to my project but nothing shows up until blurriness level 1765. Any help would be very much appreciated!

Try a new project, drop in the video clip, drop the clip from the project to the empty timeline. Add the blur and check it...

So I did that and now only the small preview where you can select clips are being blurred. 😕

[MyerPj]

So, when you dropped the clip into the timeline, does the clip show in the "Program" monitor? Send a screen shot of your PP.

I got it 🙂

That little blue button on the right-side of the Program monitor. Click that and make it not blue! That's the "Global Effects button". You can turn off all effects usually for performance reasons. I got caught with that once myself...

Thank you so much!!!

And that's the sequence you are seeing in the project window (and not the clip). Thus why you are seeing the effect - even though the global effects are off.... interesting and a red-herring!

You may need to render the timeline by pressing enter if there is a red line above the timeline.
