As is displayed here: http://codepen.io/chriscoyier/pen/zbakI you can apply a filter to videos using css filters.
You define the filter and then you refer to it later when applying it to the video element.
var blur_name='the_blur';
master_video.style.webkitFilter='url(#'+blur_name+')';
master_video.style.mozFilter='url(#'+blur_name+')';
master_video.style.filter='url(#'+blur_name+')';
var blur_name='';
master_video.style.webkitFilter='';
master_video.style.mozFilter='';
master_video.style.filter='';
But how can i get the filter to not blur the controls of the video?
