  • How to create a shutter drag effect?

    Posted by Dan Garcia on July 19, 2020 at 9:26 am

    Hey guys!

    I was wondering if it i’s possible to do a shutter drag effect on a moving 2D asset (PNG), I have tried a lot of different things but can’t seem to find the right method…

    I haven’t been able to get the right type of blur or have it stay permanently, not sure what else i could try…

    I’ve tried using Echo, and some other effect (Which i don’t remember what it is sorry ☹ )

    Let me know if there’s any other info you need! Hope this post is okay!

    Thank you!

    Try CC Wide Time. It’s been ages since I played with it, but i think it might get you what you want

    Are you talking about rolling shutter artefacts, or just some kind of motion blur?

    Rolling shutter can be done with the time displacement effect fed by a horizontal gradient.
    You would need a very very high setting for time resolution and it would render extremely slow

    That’s close! But the trail isn’t permanent unfortunately, it also doesn’t seem to work with keyframed PNGs 🙁

    It’s a kind of motion blur/ghosting, It happens when a constant light source is cast onto a moving object while using high shutter times (Over a second usually)

    Here’s an explanation: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nE6fzLMpa2g&t=3109s

    OK, try installing the old CC Time Blend plugins form here:

    Also be sure to crank up our Motion blur shutter speed to 360° in the composition settings for seamlessly blending your keyframed animation
