System information
Frame with motion blur
1. Right-click the video bus track, choose Insert/Remove Envelope from the shortcut menu, and then
choose Motion Blur Amount from the submenu.
2. Edit motion blur automation settings:
n Add and adjust envelope points as necessary to set the time interval that will be used for
blurring. For more information, see "Adjusting Envelopes" on page 266. Increasing the value
emphasizes the blur effect. For example, setting the envelope to 0 means no blurring will
occur; setting the envelope to 1 second means that each frame will be blurred for one-half
second before and after the frame.

The Motion Blur slider behaves differently if the track has a composite level envelope and
when you change the track automation recording mode:
o
When the track automation mode is set to Off, the slider adjusts the motion blur level
of the entire track.
o
When the track has a motion blur envelope and the track automation mode is set to
Read, the slider will follow the envelope during playback but cannot be adjusted.
o
When the track automation mode is set to Touch or Latch, the slider edits the
envelope setting at the cursor position. If the track does not have a motion blur
envelope, an envelope will be added when you adjust the slider.
3. The motion blur envelope affects all tracks. To bypass motion blur for a track, select the Bypass
Motion Blur button in the track header.
4. To change blur type, choose a setting from the Motion blur type drop-down list on the Video tab in
the Project Properties dialog. This setting determines the shape of the blur and the opacity of the
frames. For more information, see "Setting Project Properties" on page 53.
Adding a motion blur envelope significantly increases your rendering time.
Adding a video supersampling envelope
Video supersampling can improve the appearance of computer-generated animation by calculating
intermediate frames between the project's frame rate, allowing you to create smoother motion blurring or
motion from sources such as track motion, event pan/crop, transitions, or keyframable effects.
