  Imitation of long exposure photos

  Posted by Omer Ehrlich on May 11, 2008 at 8:02 am

  Is there any way to imitate the effect of long exposure stills photos using final cut in regular dv-pal video ?

  Thanks
  Omer

  I think you’re referring to motion trails, like the one’s you would get if you photograph car lights on a highway on a long exposure.

  This would be very tricky to re-create, as each object in the picture would have it’s own individual motion and direction. The nearest you can get in basic FCP terms is a motion blur, or directional blur – but that would effect the ‘background’ as well as the moving objects. I can’t think of any quick fix for this without something like Sapphire filters (motion trails should do this).
