  • streaky motion blur?

    This seems like it should be a really easy effect to add, but I’m not sure exactly how to do it.

    My girlfriend wants to make a Twilight spoof and I told her I’d help with the effects. I don’t know if any of you have seen the film, but, in it there is (what seems to be a very simple) motion blur behind characters when they are running or moving quickly. I tried ghosting but it doesn’t give a full or long enough after image, so, I was wondering what other ways there are to do this?

    Thanks for your help, I’m sure its a pretty simple effect or combo of effects I’m not aware of.

    Regards,

    AE echo effect?

    CC Time Efx and Time Blend. But those characters were probably greenscreened or roto’d into the shot. You can’t apply these effects selectively without masking or otherwise isolating the affected pixels.

    Note those CC time effects are kinda goofy, take lots of experimentation. You will need two copies of Time Efx, one makes a copy, one pastes the copy in behind the other one.
    You may laos want to apply CC force Motion blur as well as Echo. You will want to precomp the Time effects before trying to add Echo.

    the documentation for Cycore is on the installer disk and you may not have copied it to your drive. cycore has some outdated but fascinating tutorials on their site.

    this form the Adobe AE site:

    After Effects comes with several third-party plug-ins, including Foundry Keylight, Synthetic Aperture Color Finesse, and the Cycore FX plug-ins. Some plug-in installers—including those for Keylight and Color Finesse—install documentation for the plug-ins in their subfolders in the Plug-ins folder. Documentation for Cycore FX plug-ins is available on the Cycore website:
