Please help with blur into coding

I am wanting to start my intro with a picture and have it blur out slowly…

My background name : INT. BACKGROUND
Overlay (blurred background) name: BGBLUR

If anyone is familiar with how to code this and you wouldn’t mind helping me, that would be greatly appreciated!!

&overlay BGBLUR opacity 1 in x ?

There’s some kind of create and pause before you transition the blur if I’m not mistaking…

&overlay BGBLUR create
&overlay BGBLUR opacity 1 in x

if you wanted it blurred first and then it clears up:

INT. BACKGROUND
&zoom reset
&cut to zone 1
&overlay BGBLUR create AND overlay BGBLUR opacity 1 in 0 AND overlay BGBLUR shifts to 0 0 in zone 1 AND overlay BGBLUR scales to 1.000 1.000 AND overlay BGBLUR moves to layer 1
@pause for 0.5
@overlay BGBLUR opacity 0 in 3
@pause for 1.5
@transition fade out black in 1

If you want it to be clear and then blur out:

INT. BACKGROUND
&zoom reset
&cut to zone 1
&overlay BGBLUR create AND overlay BGBLUR opacity 0 in 0 AND overlay BGBLUR shifts to 0 0 in zone 1 AND overlay BGBLUR scales to 1.000 1.000 AND overlay BGBLUR moves to layer 1
@pause for 1
@overlay BGBLUR opacity 1 in 3
@pause for 0.5
@transition fade out black in 1

You might have to adjust the shifts and scales as I don’t know what size it is, I just assumed it’s a 640x1136. and you might want to adjust the pause seconds and how many seconds it takes for the opacity of the overlay to change

Thank you so much!! Exactly what I needed! <3
