Blur filter is too slow - alternatives?

Postby VanKurt » 06 Jan 2017 10:07

Hi there!
I need to blur a video played back with VLC. In the menu I found a gaussian blur filter that produces the look I need.
But there is one major problem: the filter is SLOOOOOOOOOOOOW :(

Once the gaussian blur is activated, the video takes several seconds (!) to render a single frame. I tested that on various machines (Windows 7 to 10) with strong hardware (i7 CPU, GTX1070, 32GB RAM...). Is that the normal behavior???

Are there any alternatives? Any tricks I could use? Any third party plugins? Any settings that speed things up?
Thanks!

No suggestions?

Would creating my own plugin be possible? Or is that too difficult for the average joe?
