Motion Blur dialog box

Used to exaggerate the motion blur effect on an animation. Opens when File > Motion Blur is chosen from the Animation Producer dialog box.

Input File

Displays the name and location of the first “blur” file (having the prefix “blur”) to which to apply post processing. Click the Browse button to select a different blur file.

Output File

Displays the name and location of the first file in the script sequence to be output after applying post processing.

Create Fields

If on, doubles the apparent refresh rate of the recorded sequence (same as field rendering) to make the sequence suitable for playback on video equipment.

Odd Rows First

Determines whether the odd rows are taken from the first or second rendering pass. (This is sometimes referred to as “2:1” or “1:2” interlacing.) Most video recording equipment expects the even row first, so Odd Rows First is turned off by default. This option is enabled only when Create Fields is chosen.

Number of Frames to Average Together

Exaggerates the motion blur based on the frames already rendered. This value must be equal to or greater than the value in the Number of Samples field.

Number of Samples

Lets you change the number of samples in an animation sequence without having to re-render the animation. Again, the higher the value, the smoother the blur in the animation.

End Frame

The number of the last “blur” file to which to apply post processing.

The value in this field cannot be zero.

OK

Accepts the settings and begins post processing the script sequence.

Cancel

Closes the dialog box without performing any post processing on the script sequence.
