Motion Blur

Motion blur can make fast motions feel more natural.

For timing and easing controls that affect how fast a move feels, see Timing and Easing.

Turn on Enable Motion Blur to reveal the detailed blur controls.

Shutter Angle controls the length of the blur.

Samples controls the blur quality.

Motion blur stays inside the transition. On the first and last frames of a move, the shutter window is kept within the transition rather than reaching past it, so those frames blur correctly instead of looking sharper than their neighbors.

Use motion blur when the clip moves, scales, or rotates quickly.

If the motion is slow or mostly static, motion blur may not be necessary.

Too much motion blur can make small UI-style layouts feel soft or hard to read.

Use the lowest amount that gives the movement the feel you want.
