All Downsampling effects improve the image quality by smoothing pixelated or jagged edges within the image and can be used alternatively to an anti-aliasing effect.
This applies a downsampling blur algorithm with a texture resolution of 75%. The middle image shows the effect with the "Mix" set to a third, in the last image it is set to full.

Technical Information
This effect can only be used with images or videos (i.e. textures) that are smaller than the "Max. Internal Texture Size" which depends on your PB license and is adjustable in the Configuration tab under "Render Engine".

Overlays those pixels of the layer that are alpha (transparent) and adjacent to opaque (non see-through) pixels. The overlay line can be colored and blurred which creates the impression of a glowing line. You can adjust the amount as well es the X- and Y-offset of the blur.

Technical Information
This effect needs to be the first effect on the layer if you are working with images or videos (i.e. textures) that are bigger than the "Max. Internal Texture Size". The Internal Texture Size depends on your PB license and is adjustable in the Configuration tab under "Render Engine". The chapter "FX Order" explains how to drag effects in the Device Tree tab to change the order of applied effects.

Overlays those pixels of the layer that are alpha (transparent) and adjacent to opaque (non see-through) pixels. In difference to the above effect "Blur XY Alpha Glow Color" the overlay is simply black. You can adjust the amount as well es the X- and Y-offset of the blur.

This effect looks for opaque (non see-through) areas of the layer that are (partially) surrounded by alpha (transparent) areas. Then it enlarges the size of the opaque areas according to the "Amount" parameter by repeating the opaque pixels.
This effect might be of interest when working with a generated mask (e.g. keying a specific color) and there are small areas left that should be either transparent or opaque. This appears as so called noise. A combination of a dilate and erode effect can reduce the noise.

Overlays those pixels of the layer that are alpha (transparent) and adjacent to opaque (non see-through)pixels. The overlay line can be colored and blurred with a radial blur which creates the impression of a glowing shadow in one direction. You can adjust the amount as well es the X- and Y-direction and the intensity of the radial blur.

This adds a delay of one frame when applied to any Output device.
This is of interest when working with multiple displays that are mounted underneath each other and have a hard edge. With sensitive displays and sensitive content it can look better when the second signal is delayed by one frame which is the time it takes to process the first frame.

Note that this effect can not be applied twice to an Output to generate an delay of two frames!

This effect is based on the Layer's Z Position or render history as explained in the manual chapter "Compositing". The layer with the assigned "Render Delay" effect makes a composition of all layers behind it. In the example, the "render" layer is positioned in the foreground, its main media is a transparent image. In the background there is a layer with a running timecode video and a particle system (also with a transparent media!).
All background pixels are delayed depending on the effect parameter "Delay".

This effect is based on the Layer's Z Position or render history as explained in the manual chapter "Compositing". The layer with the assigned "Render Draw Media" effect makes a composition of all layers behind it. In the example, the "render" layer is positioned in the foreground, its main media is a transparent image whilst the effect's media is a rainbow image. In the background there is a grass layer and a particle system (also with a transparent media!).
Depending on the effect parameter "Clear" the background pixels add up to the foreground texture. E.g. the particle's movement draws onto the rainbow effect texture; the second image shows a low "Clear", the third an increased "Clear" time. Another drawing result could be achieved by moving the grass layer up and down or by using a video with moving pixels.
