Motion Blur in AE vs FCP
I’m trying to mask off an area of my shot that I want to add motion blur which is why I’m in After FX, although I find that even with Force Motion Blur, it’s knowhere near as effective as in FCP. It is a sped up shot of people moving around and I want their trails to be long behind them, but I can’t seem to achieve this in AE. Any ideas?

Have you tried the echo effect? There are some cool trails and time effects in Boris Continuum Complete, which also works in FCP, but any effects like this are much better in AE.
Have a wonderful day.

The echo effect is probably your best option as long as the camera is in lockdown. Echo “blurs” the values over time so if your background is moving, that will blur too.
The next and more time consuming option is to:
Turn motion blur off
Duplicate the layer
On the top layer mask off what you don’t want blurred
Turn on motion blur on the bottom layerGood Luck
