Close, but not quite there.
Actually, I'm dealing with a clip that had the bottom half of the picture in focus and the top half a little out of focus, which is the opposite of correct! I wanted to put a sharpen filter on the top half, and put a blur filter on the bottom half...I know it won't be perfect, but it won't be quite so obvious. I duplicated the clip to 2 tracks, blurred the bottom half and was going to sharpen the top half, and also crop the top half with a bit of feathering to blend them together a bit.
The Soft Edges filter gives me the desired amount of feathering when it is at it's default value (not much cropping on the bottom edge), but it won't let me crop to the center of the screen, it just increases the feathering when I change the value of the bottom edge. That's the trouble.
Thanks!
