    Hello,
    I need to create a slo mo blur effect on a clip- as if I’ve stopped down to about 8 fps. Does anyone know how to do this? Actually, is it possible?
    PC- 6.5 pro
    Thanks much

    Time stretch and then frame blending???

    You can time stretch a clip however much you want, and then by turning on frame blending it will smooth together. And depending how much you time stretched the clip, the more blurry the effect frame blending has when it smoothes it all down… I believe.

    Timestretch can be found in Layer>timestretch… or on your timeline by adding the duration panel and then clicking on the clip length to bring up the timestretch window.

    Frame blending in uneder the switches section of your timeline; check the box. Note: the bigger frame blending button next to motion blur and soloing is for preview of layers you’ve already checked frame blending for; so you can basically preview the frame blending when you hit num0.

    Or if you actually want an 8fps jerkiness you could precompose your footage and then for the precomp layer press ctrl+k and set the frame rate to 8 (correct me if I’m wrong).

    peace,
    Michael

    You can slow the clip down by altering the duration or stretch settings (open up the duration/stretch column in the timeline window). You could then add a blur effect to the clip. If you need to you could can select just one direction to the blur, such as horizontal. You could also add the effect twice, for instance adding a high amount of horizontal blur, and then a litte vertical blur as well.
