+You can fine-tune the look with the effect properties: the **line width** and **line contrast** control the scanlines, **curvature** bends the image like a rounded screen, **noise** adds static, and **vignetting** darkens the edges. The scanlines can be animated (moving interlaced lines) by setting an **Interlaced Lines Speed** greater than 0.

 This is a faster version of the traditional "Blur" effect. It's recommended that you use this one rather than the "Gaussian" blur effect.
 
+The **blur** property controls the overall strength, and **quality** controls how smooth the result looks (higher values are smoother but slower). The **Pixelize X** and **Pixelize Y** properties let you blur more in one direction than the other, which is useful for a motion-blur-like effect.
