Okay, no problem. Just put the blur filter on the bottom layer instead of the top layer.

How would you add two circles?

[GDVTutorials]

Hi, start with one circle then nest all the tracks together. Then repeat the process again, but using the 'single' nested track instead of your original background layer. I hope that makes sense.

@GDVTutorials Hello I want to thank you for the reply and it kind of makes sense. So what I do is just repeat the process by making another layer with the same background and repeat the steps shown in this tutorial? I'm sorry I'm new at this and your help is really appreciated. Thank you again.

[GDVTutorials]

Yes, I hope that makes sense.

I do exactly what you did, but once I try to play it back, it says UNRENDERED!!! = [

@ThePrinceOfDHeights

Hi, just press Option R to render the effect. Then you'll be good to go. Normally an effect like this should play in real-time, but there are MANY variables that affect real-time playback when dealing with effects.

For starters: Make sure the RT button in the upper left corner of the timeline window is set to RT Unlimited. If the choice isn't there, then you're probably using a non-standard codec that does not offer real-time effects in Final Cut Pro.
