motion blur from corner pin translation

[Joey Korenman]

If the shot isn’t insanely long, just manually keyframe a directional blur. I’ve done this before and it works well, just takes a little more effort.

Nope, AE does not automatically calculate motion blur for effects. Your observations are thus correct. The only way around this is using plugins such as CC Force Motion Blur or ReelSmart MotionBlur.

Thanks, I’ll try cc motion blur. Its odd though that AE supports
corner pin tracking but doesn’t consider it in motion blur.

Nope, that’s not odd, that’s an implementation weakness. ;o) I’m not a programming guy, but as I understand it, plugins are not allowed to request temporal sub-sampling (which would be required for motion blur) and would have to do all such calculations themselves. So if it’s not coded in the plugin, you’re out of luck. CC Motion Blur does some sort of trickery by making AE think that the effect runs at a higher framerate and thus can request more inbetween buffers. Well, perhaps one day we will see the SDK/ API opened up and all effects will automatically get considered for motion blur. It definitely would be nice.

I would love it if AE would carry the OpenGL implementation over to their effects like corner pin. That way it would be a realtime polygon deformation, it would also open the door to more flexibilty in distortions that are actually reflected in 3D space.
