  • Taillight blurs in Premiere?

    Posted by Maxsideburn on July 8, 2007 at 2:53 pm

    Just wondering if anyone had any idea how I could get some nice taillight blurs in Premiere? Or even any method I could film with? I know how to do it with my still cameras, just slow down the shutter, but I want to get the blurred taillights in video as my car drives by at night. Thanks.

    Do you want just the tail-lights blurred? Or the whole shot? If you slow down the shutter speed of the video camera you’ll end up with the same sort of effect as a still camera, but anything moving will look choppy (the whole car will be blurred).

    You can achieve some interesting effects by layering video on top of each other by blending/masking and blurring the tailights. I’ve done a lot of that with still images but it should work somewhat similarly in Premiere. Just fool around.
