# Depth of Field

Use Depth of Field to create a blur that is applied to out-of-focus points of light to simulate a shallow focus.

To access the Depth of Field menu, use:

- Timeline, then use ConnectFX (See Creating ConnectFX).

- Tools, then select from the menu.

This node accepts a front, Z-depth and matte clip, and outputs a result, out Z-depth and outmatte clip. The output matte clip can have a different level of depth of field than the result clip.
