Motion Blur

[Andy Neil]

What specifically are you trying to do? Motion 5 has motion blur, but it’s not a filter, it’s part of the interface.

I’m animating a hockey stick that come swinging through the scene. I tried an export from AE with motion blur and I couldn’t tell what is was (too blurry!) so I’m sticking with the original animation in FCPX.

Thanks, Simon! I’m done with the current project, but I’ll test this out on the next one.

If you’re animating it in Motion, you can apply motion blur to it in the project settings. The higher the samples, the higher the quality (at the expense of more render time). The highter the shutter angle, the more blur. The default shutter angle of 360 is usually way too high. I start with about 90 angle, and 16 samples and adjust from there.

BTW, these settings apply to motion blur in AE which can be accessed through the comp settings.

I removed this because Apple’s Motion 5 version of Motion Blur isn’t Motion Blur at all, but just Directional Blur with a rotational control.

Here’s a sort of motion blur that’s OK-ish, which is basically the Motion 5 Wide Time filter republished:

Might be useful in some instances – better than directional blur anyway.

Click the download link, unzip the archive and put the resulting entire folder in your User/Movies/Motion Templates/Effects folder.

I realize Im now replying to this in 2016.
Im not able to find any settings in Motion for motion blur. Im running the latest version of Motion 5.2.2
Did Apple disable this function?

Go to your Project Pane (Cmd+J) and you can find the motion blur settings there where they have always been.

Am I right that this only works with rendered Motion projects and not with FCP X templates? I’ve never been able to get motion blur in an FCP X template to work.

[Andy Neil]

Unless they’ve made changes in the recent iterations of FCPX, then you are correct. Motion blur doesn’t carry over to FCPX from Motion.

In those cases, I export QT movies w/alphas and composite in FCPX.
