  • Motion blur in Vegas.

    Posted by Tevya Washburn on August 14, 2007 at 4:23 pm

    I want to do a motion blur on a person that runs away from the camera. The camera is locked down, just the person moves. I want an effect similar to when Clark runs fast in Smallville. I don’t see a motion blur effect in Vegas, is it possible to do this with vegas? It seems like there should be a motion blur effect, but maybe I’m thinking of some other software. Any help would be appreciated.

    Yes there is. With vegas open click “Ctrl+Shift+B” to get the Video Bus Track, then right click on it, and choose “insert/Remove Envelope” and click on “Motion Blur Amount” You’ll see an Envelope across the timeline, But you’ll also need to use another Envelope called “Video Supersampling” which you get in the same way as the Motion Blur just choose Video Supersampling Instead. Drag the line Upwards as desired on each envelope, note that these envelopes require a lot of Power from your computer, so You’ll need a very fast one.
    Tip: The “Motion Blur Amount” describes it self and the “Video Supersampling” increaces or decreaces the Smoothnes of the Blur effect.
    Hope this helps.

    Yeah, that helps a ton. Thanks JCI_pro! I thought my thread was gone & wouldn’t be noticed. Really thanks a lot, this may save me a ton of time over another method I might’ve used.
