    I’m moving the camera rapidly through a scene, coming to rest in front of a small object. I thought that the rapid camera movement would create motion blur as it flies toward this object, but instead each frame is clear. Is there a way to turn this on? Do I have to adjust the camera settings? Or do I fake it with a radial motion blur?

    I tried to search but my browser is acing up.

    You mean the AE camera, yes? Yeah, just turn on motion blur. In the composite settings you can set it higher than the 180 degree of a normal film gate, but 180 is usually plenty unless you are going for a non-natuaral extreme look.

    Ummm…right…turn on motion blur….

    But where is that again? There isn’t a motion blur swatch for the camera layer in the timeline, and the only blur setting I see when I open layer –> camera settings is when I enable depth of field, which is a different type of blur (correct??).

    I guess I don’t know what you mean by “composite settings.”

    its in the timeline next to the source name (the three little circles between the film and the half-moon). you have to check it on for each layer that you want the motion blur applied to

    That is, apply motion blur to the layers that the camera sees, even though they’re static, and the camera is moving.
