Thanks for the response, Dan. I will see what I can come up with.

Thank so much, Kevin it was spot on. To be honest, it would be really nice to see Adobe expose a value for motion blur for situations like this in the future.

Kevin,
This is wonderful, really great work on this. This is exactly what I needed. It’s going to take me a bit to figure out the blur direction expression but it works really well on both X and Y axis! Thank you so much for taking a crack at this.

Oh and one more question, where did you get the value of 13500?

Thanks again,
John

Do you have a sample of this? I am confused on where to apply thisComp.shutterAngle

Also, thisComp.shutterAngle will only return a static number based on the comps settings, say 180. What I was looking for is getting the value of blur on an object in the comp from its start and end point. My guess some logic is needed…

Any help would be great.

Thanks,
John

Clarisse, you can set a variable equal to random() and if you need to increase the amount of random you can pass in a hard value of 100 or even 1000 depending on the amount you need for your comp.

I use random(time*100)

Hope this helps.
