  • AE 3D Camera not motion blurring

    Posted by Paul Curtis on April 1, 2012 at 9:19 am

    It’s been a while since i’ve been immersed in AE and part of me thinks this is a known issue.

    I have a camera panning across a camera projection, the cameras position isn’t moving, just the point of interest. Should this be motion blurred? I have every setting i can see turned on for Motion Blur but i’m not seeing anything.

    This is just a sanity check to see if i should or should not be seeing motion blur when only the cameras point of interest is moving?

    thanks

    You need to turn on Motion Blur for the Comp.

    Yep, that’s all on.

    So you think that if you animate the point of interest for a camera view then i should see motion blur for it? Even though the camera itself isn’t moving?

    thanks

    Actually just to add to this.

    It appears that when you project through a light onto a solid (camera projection), the outer shape of the solid will blur but the projected image inside will NOT blur.

    The source projecting layer will blur if i look at it.

    I assume this sounds like a bug to me. I’m on CS5 still, i wonder if anyone has CS5.5 and can confirm or deny whether it’s been fixed?

    thanks

    If the POI is moving quickly enough you should see motion blur, I am.

    That’s really odd. I set up a bare bones project to test

    1) Camera static, fast moving POV key framed

    a) Add a solid – it’s motion blurred as expected
    b) Change solid to an image comp – blurred as expected
    c) Project from a light onto the solid – no blur except the edges

    So you’re seeing blur with c)?

    What version of AE are you using, i’m on CS5 still

    thanks

    Have not tested this way.
