Hi Justin.
To get a radial (zoom or crash) blur, make the From Z Dist and To Z Dist different from each other. The more different they are, the longer the blur.
To get a rotational blur, make the From and To Rotate different from each other. To get a directional (straight) blur, make the From and To Shifts different from each other. You can combine any or all of these to get any look you want.
Basically the Z Dist, Rotate, and Shift define a transform for the image; the blur happens between the From transform and the To transform.
Email support@genarts.com any time if you’d like more help.
