  Motion Blur problem CS4

  Posted by David Brewer on February 27, 2013 at 12:05 am

  Hello CreativeCow.

  I am having an issue with the AE motion blur button. I am trying to do a light Saber blade. I am working on 15fps footage through the Adobe Dynamic link from Pr to AE. Everything works fine in the preview without the blur but once i put the blur on, the blur looks to be in reverse, like the blur is getting ahead of itself.

  Ex. if the blade was to go up, in the frame just before it moves the mask is blurred upward before the blade is even there.

  Adjust the Shutter Phase.

  If the problem persists, Try using CC Force Motion Blur. Make sure you have checked Override Native Shutter.

  how would i adjust the Shutter Phase?

  Press ” Cntl/Cmnd + K “ to open Composition settings and then go to Advance:

  

  In general, Shutter phase = -50% of Shutter Angle
