  • I totally don’t get this motion blur thing

    Posted by Johan Liebert on October 10, 2016 at 4:51 am

    I’m very confused. So my workflow is simple – PP for editing and very basic animations and then AE for visual effects and complex animations. But, as you know, there is no “motion blur” button in premiere pro. And this means that even if I need some EXTREMELY basic animation, I still need to create an AE sequence just to press that “motion blur” button. (because motion usually requires motion blur). I mean what the heck? Is this really how its supposed to be? Do I really need to run After Effects each time I need to add a moving text animation? I mean it makes no sense to me, there are lots of tools in PP for those simple animations, and it’s easier and much faster to make them using PP, then why there is no Motion Blur button? Am I missing something? Because I feel like I’m missing something, it’s too stupid to be true.
    Thank you.
    PS: (yes, I know that you can fake motion blur in PP, but I mean come on, it’s even more stupid, it’s not an option)

    It would be awesome if there was a motion blur button, but remember Premiere is not After Effects..it’s an NLE. No other NLE has a motion blur button either.

    [John Pale] “No other NLE has a motion blur button either.”

    Smoke isn’t quite the robust editor but it has a lot of neat effects stuff you can easily add in the timeline. If I was doing a lot of semicomplex edits I would use that.

    You are right. Forgot about Smoke. But the more mainstream ones….Avid, FCP, FCPX, Premiere, nope. Of all of them, I think Premiere seems most likely to gain one, as there seems to be more convergence with After Effects with every major release.

    Actually you can publish a motion blur in Motion 5 and use it in FCP X. https://www.provideocoalition.com/motion-blur-in-final-cut-pro-x-via-motion/

    Actually Premiere does have motion blur.
    Use the Transform effect: turn off Use Composition’s Shutter Angle and Set Shutter Angle to 180.
    Animate position.
