  • AE openGL Motion Blur – No go on renders – Baffled :(

    Posted by Chris Bobotis on February 13, 2011 at 6:32 pm

    OK I am completely baffled (not a difficult state of mind for me to achieve these last few weeks).

    I set AE preferences to use openGL. I then activate motion blur in the TLW properly and see it working during interaction and during Ram previews. All good until I try rendering with openGL render engine in the Render Queue… I do not get motion blur??? If I switch to the software renderer then I have no problem rendering motion blur.

    I tried both field and frame rendering motion blur with the AE openGL renderer with no luck… tried it on several set-ups all cards used support motion blur in openGL – no go…any help would be greatly appreciated.

    Cheers,
    Chris

    I am not usually using OpenGl in AE- it tends to mess up things a lot. But I did try to use it with the new Invoigorator Pro- I got the same, OpenGL previews – just fine, but then it would not render using OpenGL. I got the “not supported” message although it is obviously supported in previews. Todd or anyone else…?

    I just tried, and it worked for me. I got motion blur in my final output with Use OpenGL Renderer checked in the render settings.

    What version of After Effects? Have you installed the recent updates? What operating system? Has this ever worked before?

    > AE 10.0.0.453

    Is there a reason that you haven’t updated to 10.0.1? (Hint, hint.)

    Hi Todd,

    Just tried updating and I get : Update 10.0.1 not applicable?

    Strange!

    How did you try updating? Did you use Help > Updates, or did you try the manual download?

    Regarding the original issue: Would you mind submitting a bug report ( https://www.adobe.com/go/wish ) with as much detail as possible about your computer system? I was unable to reproduce on one computer; I’ll try on a computer matching your specs when I get the bug report.

    Hi
    I have the same problem rendering motion blur using openGL renderer. Fine with RAM previews but final render has no motion blur.
    Did anybody find a fix for this?
    I thought it might be something to do with graphics card so I installed latest nvidia drivers but made no difference.

    tried on 2 different machines – problem persists on both

    using afx version 10.0.2.4
    win 7 professional 64 bit
    i7 dual quad @ 3.6 ghz
    12 gig ram
    nvidia geforce 250 GT

    afx version 10.0.2.4
    win 7 professional 64 bit
    i7 dual quad @ 2.6 ghz
    16 gig ram
    nvidia geforce GTX 560M

    thanks in advance for any wisdom shared

    The simple advice is this: Don’t use the OpenGL renderer.

    There’s a reason that we threw it in the garbage for After Effects CS6 (and beyond).
