CC Force Motion Blur — can’t make it work
I’d like to add some extreme mortion blur on a simple text tracking effect. I thought I just had to put the Force Motion Blur on an Adjustment layer above the text layer, but nothing’s happening. Any suggestions?

Try pre-comping it first….

Ok, dumb question — Right now I have pre-comped the adjustment layer and the text layer into their own separate comp; is that not enough? Do I have to pre-comp just the text layer alone?

Precomp whatever layers have motion (e.g. you are moving the text layer, so precomp the text layer WITH it’s motion keys) now apply the effect to the pre-comp. No need for adj layer…..

I’m finally seeing a suggestion of blur — I think the motion is too subtle for this to really be noticeable. But thanks for the info on how to proceed; helpful for my next project.

Apply the effect directly to the text layer & crank the shutter angle WAYup. Increase “Motion blur Levels” to smooth things out.

Mike’s right, it should do the trick if you crank it way up.
Just don’t be surprised when you start scratching your head and looking at the render time.
You may ask yourself, “Why is this 10 second animation taking 2 days to render?”!
