• Radius: Set the value between 1 and 2. It adjusts the size of the details that the Unsharp Mask affects. Smaller values sharpen finer details, while larger values affect broader areas.
• Threshold: It determines the level of contrast between pixels that will be considered for sharpening. A higher threshold ignores smaller changes in contrast.

Why is Your Video Blurry and How to Avoid Blurriness?

Video blurriness can result from various factors, but understanding and addressing these issues during filming, editing, and exporting can help avoid or minimize blurriness.

1. Use a high-resolution camera. Filming with a camera that has a low resolution can result in videos lacking detail and appearing blurry. You'd better get a higher resolution (1080p or 4K) to capture more details in your footage.

2. Use manual camera focus. Incorrect focus settings during filming can lead to a lack of sharpness in the video, causing blurriness. Set the focus on your camra manually to make sure that the subject is sharp.

3. Stablize the recording. Handheld shooting without stabilization can result in shaky footage, leading to blurriness. Use a tripod or stabilizer to stabilize your camera and fix blurry videos.

4. Proper shutter speed. Maintain an appropriate shutter speed to avoid motion blur. Recording fast movements at a slower shutter speed can lead to motion blur. For standard video, a shutter speed of 1/50 (or double your frame rate) is often recommended.

5. Record in Good Lighting. Inadequate lighting can result in underexposed footage, making it appear blurry and lacking in detail. Film in well-lit conditions to reduce the impact of noise, which can affect video clarity.

6. Proper export settings. Using a low bitrate during video encoding can reduce the amount of data used to represent the video, resulting in a loss of detail and potential blurriness. Overcompression of video files can introduce artifacts, pixelation, and blurriness. Export raw files if possible, though they may take large space.
