Adjusting MotionBlur Controls

To adjust MotionBlur controls:

1.   Select a suitable Shutter Time, depending on the amount of blur you wish to add. This sets the equivalent shutter time of the retimed sequence. For example, a shutter time of 0.5 is equivalent to a 180 degree mechanical shutter, so at 24 frames per second the exposure time is 1/48th of a second.

The larger the value, the more motion blur is produced.

A low Shutter Time. A high Shutter Time.
2.   Use Vector Detail to alter the density of the calculated motion vector field. A value of 1 generates a vector at each pixel, whereas a value of 0.5 generates a vector at every other pixel.

Bear in mind that higher Vector Detail values require longer to process, but can pick up finer movement and enhance your results in some cases.

3.   Render the sequence to see the motion blurred result.
4.   If you can see that the motion blur has been created from a few discrete images, try increasing Shutter Samples. This results in more in-between images being used to generate the motion blur and so results in a smoother blur.

Shutter Samples = 2 Shutter Samples = 4

Shutter Samples = 8 Shutter Samples = 30
