Keylight and Motion Blur, orange over green

I'm making a series of videos of basketball players for a website. I'm using Keylight to remove the green screen. I seem to have gotten the parameters where it gives fairly good results with the player. My problem is the basketball. It moves fast in front of the green screen that there's a pretty serious motion blur problem.
What I have tried is making a copy of the video on the layer above and then masking only the ball when it is by itself in front of the green screen and processing it giving it it's own despill values, and then using that mask as a track matte for the layer below to drop out the basketball from the player's layer when the ball is in the air. That does improve things a bit, because I can tighten up the image on the ball a bit. But there is still a sizeable brown smudge where the orange ball blurs over the green screen that I can't seem to get rid of.
I'm not sure what else I can do, and I don't have the time to experiment with methods, or do painstaking minute correction. Does anyone have a solution?
Thanks.

Unfotunately, there is no way to remove the image blur that is caused by your imporoperly shot footage; you needed a much faster shutter speed, appropriate for the subject, 1/250 or maybe even 1/1000 second.
All you can do now is fake it and hopefully sell a new design concept, something a bit stylized. Masking off the ball is a good first step and now you can fill that mask with just about anything. I'd suggest a stylized animated basketball with glitter and sparks and lightning, simple clip art, or a photograph of the team's special logo-emblazoned ball, if they have such.

Global Switches for Frame Blend and Motion Blur aren't working with the newest version of After Effects 2014.1.1

I have been using After Effects regularly since 1995. So this isn't an operator error.
I am on a new Mac Pro six core with OSX 10.9.5 and 32 gigs of RAM.
Is anyone else having trouble with activating frame blend and motion blur?
Occasionally I am able to get the global switch to appear to be on. It still won't activate motion blur or frame blend.

I'll answer my own issue. The global switches actually work. The distinct dark boxes that indicate when the global switches are enabled have been removed and replaced by a light blue outline of the switch icon.

Advanced Radial and Motion Blur

Adding a couple of additional settings for radial and motion blur would be very appreciated.
Currently they are applied to the both sides of a sample.
Can we also have:
- limited motion blur which is applied to one of the sides of a sample
- radial blur with two additional options: one with blur towards the centre and one - away from the centre.
That would allow rear and front curtain flash synch immitation.
A couple of other useful improvements for the radial blur:
- optional preview inside the dialogue for positioning the centre of the blur (preview can be static if performance does not allow)
- ability to position the centre of the blur outside of the frame
Thank you,
Alex

Think about this a bit.
Take a simple case: a blue box on a white background, and a blur to the right. On the right edge of the box, the blue pixels get blurred into the white background - just what you want. But on the left edge of the box, the white pixels get blurred into the blue box -- not what you want. And that will happen for any blur**, because it doesn't know about edges, or planes, or foreground/background -- it can only blur the pixels in the image.
You can do directional blurs today with several tools in Photoshop. But you cannot do shape isolated blurs on a single layer because the blur has no way of knowing what should contribute and what should not: what's in front, and what is in back.
What you can do is isolate the foreground shapes by putting them on a separate layer, so the background colors can no longer contribute.
But those "perfect" motion blurs you illustrated aren't going to happen with a single filter operation.
** Edge preserving blurs like SurfaceBlur and Median may look like they know about edges, but they don't. They still operate on values and don't understand separation or direction.

No blur and motion blur effect available in the spin blur gallery

I saw several videos where the new spin blur was demonstrated.They all had the option "blur effects & motion blur effects ( with strobe strenght, flashes etc...) but when I open the spin blur panel those options are not there.

hi Bijouz,
Resetting Blur Gallery should do the trick.

After Effects CC: Motion Blur, 3D Layers and Opacity

Hi All,
I've had this problem for a while now (it happened in CS6 as well).
I'm animating vector layers from Illustrator (continuously rasterize on). When I apply a camera, 3D Layer and Motion Blur I have a consistent glitch (or maybe not a glitch but conflicting variables).
If I simply animate one layer from 100% opacity to 0%, and another from 0% to 100% from keyframe : 01 to : 02 (switch off, not fade) the top layer lingers with transparency for an extra frame - it doesn't switch off cleanly.
This creates frustrating issues which I have worked around once I go into Avid, but I'd greatly appreciate some advice on how to avoid the issue altogether. It's particularly frustrating if I am trying to do a smooth camera move and I have have a lingering frame.
Thanks.

Motion blur keyframing?

when adding a motion blur to a clip is there a way to keyframing it? In other words taking the blur up and down only on certain parts of the clip?

i know you can do that with the various blurs....but what i meant specifically was "motion blur" that is only avaible (as far as i can tell) on an individual clip in the viewer. Do you have to actually razor blade the clip and motion blur it in sections or can you keyframe it?
thanks

Why no Motion Blur when animating a camera?

I think I'm in trouble. I'm finishing a project where a logo (let's call it a box) was built by creating all the sides using solids, then making these solid layers 3D. I then move the CAMERA around the box. That seemed to be a lot easier than trying to move all the 3D layers in front of a camera.
I cannot get any motion blur effect when the camera moves fast. I've tried numerous settings (and of course have the layers enabled for motion blur). Is it not working because the layers aren't in motion? Can I acheive motion blur by animating a camera around 3D layers?

Thanks, but I do have motion blur on for the composition and the layers and the render queue. There is no "switch" to turn motion blur on for a camera layer, and of course no 3D switch for a camera because it's inherently 3D.
I used various motion blur (advanced) composition settings, as well as adjusting the camera's apature, fstop, focal length, focal distance, etc. Can't seem to get any motion blur effect. The camera occasionally whip-pans, slows down, speeds up - so it's certainly moving fast enough.
Just wondering if I should have created a Null layer, parent it to the camera and animate the Null because that does have switches for 3D and motion blur.
Why wouldn't motion blur show when animating a camera around an object?

How do I motion blur and object?

I have an Ace Of Spade playing card that I scanned as a PSD.
I imported it into Motion and moved it around the scene. I want to apply a motion blur to it but when I use the movement blur filter it does not motion blur the object.
What am I doing wrong?

There's info about motion blur in Motion's help. You don't need a filter for this. Motion blur is part of the Project and View settings. Project settings determine how much blur and how it is sampled. View settings turn it on and off for display and determine whether blur carries over to FCP. You need to do a couple things to get motion blur to work. First, check Motion blur under the View settings in Motion. Second, go to your sequence settings in FCP and under Render Control set Master Templates and Motion Projects quality to Best. Settings of Draft and Normal will not include motion blur. The amount of blur is controlled by the shutter angle and sample settings in the Motion project settings.
BTW, the filter you tried is for blurring motion in clips that already contain motion. For example, you could exaggerate the motion blur of cars moving through an intersection. When the cars move, the filter blurs them. When they stop, the blur stops. Make sense?

I have a first generation iPad and the screen went completely green on me and locked up. I was able to unlock it, but now there's a green haze all over the screen. Anyone know what the issue could be and how I can get it fixed?

Try this - Reset the iPad by holding down on the Sleep and Home buttons at the same time for about 10-15 seconds until the Apple Logo appears - ignore the red slider - let go of the buttons. (This is equivalent to rebooting your computer.)

I have a 1st Gen Time Capsule 1tb. It turns on, boots up and turns green for 5-10 mins, but then turns solid orange and then blinks orange. I have removed the hard drive and replaced the power supply . . . still the same problem. Suggestions?

I purchased a used 1st Gen Time Capsule with a 1 tb hard drive.
When I plugged it in and did the initial setup, it worked fine, but gave me a hard drive error. A few minutes later the green light turned solid orange, then blinking orange, then the status light went off. The lights in back stayed on.
I removed the hard drive and rebooted, it turned green for 5-10 minutes then reverted back to a solid orange, blinking orange, then went off.
Next I purchased a remanufactured internal power supply, and installed it (without the hard drive in). It turned green almost immediately. After about 15-20 minutes, I decided to try to install the hard drive again, booted it up, and tried to erase the hard drive with was working properly according to the software. It stopped erasing the disc after about 20 minutes and turned solid orange again, then blinking, then no status light (but back lights were still lit).
I'm a bit flabbergasted at this point, any suggestions on what to do next? I think i've pretty much replaced everything except the logic board, but can't seem to find any information on the symptoms of a logic board malfunction.
Thanks!!!!!!!

A Gen3 is identical board to a Gen4 although they have some differences in firmware and wireless card was updated on every model.. but a Gen3 is substantially faster than Gen1, Gen2 which also have identical boards.
You can with careful shopping get a Gen3 pretty cheap.
Most use a delta power supply which I think is a lot better than the flextronics used in most Gen1/2
You can sell back the parts to ebay.. people still would buy the power supply etc. Even just the case can be useful to a repairer.
But if the board is gone.. it is hard to repair.. not impossible.. but hard.
Gen 3 and Gen 4 are not without faults.
See this page.
https://sites.google.com/site/lapastenague/a-deconstruction-of-routers-and-modem s/apple-time-capsule-repair/new-issue-with-a1355-gen-3-tc
I have fixed it a different way.. by using the small converters you can buy in bulk from ebay for $1 each.. KIS3R33 .. they produce 3.3V at 2A peaking at 3A.. amazing.. I keep using them to replace onboard power converters by removing the inductor and simply power directly.. the end result has worked great. You can simply change the resistors around and get any output from 1v to 20v depending on input.
Is it worth doing it .. no of course not.. it will waste many more hours than $50 is worth.. but it is kind of fun that you can actually make things work again.
Here is a pic of the Gen 3 totally powered by me. All onboard power removed.
This was to track down the fault in the Gen3.. but I am kind of pleased that it ended up neat enough and reliable enough to work for more than a year.. the Gen3 still serves as a way to get Netflix via network for a friend running 24/7.
The units supply (from left to right)
1v, 1.1v, 3.3v, 5v, 1.8v
It is feed by 12v supply which is also directly connected to the hard disk.
So it is possible to fix.. !! Only got to be a bit crazy.

Can Motion 5 replace a green screen and blue screen in the same shot?

Can Motion 5 replace a green screen and blue screen in the same shot? I would like to replace a green screen with one image, and a blue screen with another.

Fox gives a good example for keying green & blue (or any other color) from the same shot. I'd suggest doing a few things to get better accuracy.
First, the motion keyer always removes the color it detects the most of by default (blue/green). You can override this by setting the Strength parameter to zero, then use the Color sample tool to select the color you want. The advantage is motion will do a good job of targeting only the hue (color) that you want to remove and set an appropriate starting softness. It also will remove spill based on this color. Looking at Fox's example movie and the shot, I'd approach the same shot this way:
Remove the Blue
1. Apply the keyer and set the strength to zero.
2. Use the Sample Color tool and select the blue (or other color) to be removed.
3. Decrease the spill level (if needed). In Fox's example the spill from the blue glasses is going to be minimal, especially compared to the green screen, your shot may need different adjustments. Only de-spilling what you need to will give you more accurate color right away and minimize additional color correction that might be needed later.
4. Use the Color selection tools (Chroma wheel/Luma bar) to fine tune. Ideally you want a minimal tolerance, the inner selection, with a nice fall off, the outer selection. Try with the Scrub boxes setting first, then switch to manual if you need more control. Again see Fox's example.
Remove Green
It's the same as the blue, you could apply the keyed to the same clip or a parent group, at this point it's many user preference.
With these techniques you can remove any color from a shot or create a mask based on a color. BTW, as you are learning to use the keyer I'd highly recommend having the Color Selection open so you can see the graphs. These give you real time feedback as you make selections and changes with the Strength, Refine and Color selection tools. Watch what happens as you make selection or changes, sometimes the problem area is actually in the brightness not the color, or the softness may change more than the tolerance selection. Observing what is happening in these graphs will help you figure out wha to change and speed things up.

Odd motion blur in Log and Capture

not on the video camera's LCD, but on the Log and Capture window
i'm suddenly having this motion blur, just when subject even slightly moves...
there is like blur of small lines, but agian, Not on the original footage playing off camera.
my camera is panasonic 100a.

log and capture gives a low res proxy and is not an accurate reflection of captured content.
Hook up an external monitor (even if it's a cheapo portable tv) to see what you're gonna get whilst editing.

Hello Korawees,
I was researching the issue you are describing and had a recommendation. The device is very simple, so the software troubleshooting for it is pretty limitted so I think you shoud restore the iPod shuffle and re sync the content. That way, if it is a software issue, this will fix it. Here is the article named Restoring iPod shuffle to factory settings found here: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1481.
Before Starting
It is important to understand the difference between "update" and "restore." Update does not affect your settings or songs, it simply installs updated software that controls iPod shuffle. Restore erases the disk and restores iPod shuffle to its original factory condition with updated software. If you only need to update iPod shuffle, this should be done on the computer where music is normally synced. Updating on another computer will result in all songs being removed from iPod shuffle.
Warning: Because Restore erases all songs and files on iPod shuffle, make sure to back up any files you've saved on iPod shuffle. Your songs, podcasts, and audiobooks can be synced back to your iPod shuffle if the items are part of your iTunes library.
How to restore iPod shuffle
Ensure that you have an active Internet connection as new versions of iTunes and iPod Software may need to be downloaded to your computer.
Download and install the latest version of iTunes if you do not already have it installed.
Open iTunes, and then connect iPod shuffle to your computer.
After a few moments, iPod shuffle will appear in the Devices section on the left side of the Tunes window.
Select iPod shuffle under Devices and you will see information about it appear in the main iTunes window under the Summary tab/button for iPod shuffle (3rd and 4th generation) or the Settings tab/button for iPod shuffle (1st or 2nd generation).
The Version section tells you whether iPod shuffle is up to date or needs a newer version of the software.
Click the Restore button. You will be presented with one or more restore options that may prompt iTunes to automatically download the latest iPod Software. The 4-possible restore options are:
Restore Option 1: Restore - Restores with same iPod Software version already on iPod.
Restore Option 2: Use Same Version - Restores with same iPod Software version already on iPod even though a newer version is available.
Restore Option 3: Use Newest Version - Restores with the latest iPod Software currently on your computer.
Restore Option 4: Restore and Update - Restores after downloading the latest iPod Software on your computer.
If you are using a Mac, a message will appear prompting you to enter an administrator’s name and password.
A progress indicator will appear on the computer screen indicating that the restore process has started. Do not disconnect iPod shuffle during the restore process.
After the restore process is complete, the iPod shuffle's status light will flash orange continuously. The iPod Setup Assistant window will appear asking you to name your iPod and choose your syncing preferences as you did when you connected your iPod shuffle for the first time.
When you come to step 7, I recommend Restore Option 4.
Take care,
Sterling

I have a first generation ipod shuffle and the light keeps turning from orange to green and blinking back and forth. What should I do?

I have a first generation ipod shuffle and the light keeps turning from orange to green and blinking back and forth. What should I do?

Try:
- iOS: Not responding or does not turn on
- Also try DFU mode after try recovery mode
How to put iPod touch / iPhone into DFU mode « Karthik's scribblings
- If not successful and you can't fully turn the iOS device fully off, let the battery fully drain. After charging for an least an hour try the above again.
- Try on another computer
- If still not successful that usually indicates a hardware problem and an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store is in order.

Motion Blur help.

Alrighty, I'm using Photoshop CS4 Extended, and I'm having troubles with motion blur.
When I set the angle to anything above 60 really and distance to about 300 it crashes saying Adobe Photoshop CS4 has encountered a problem and needs to close.
This happens every time. So I tried restarting Photoshop, then restarting my computer, then I uninstalled and reinstalled fresh and it still crashes when I begin to use motion blur, infact I believe it even crashed just by opening the motion blur window for over 40 seconds.
Any help or ideas?
Thanks in advance!

Thanks a lot Mylenium! I'll do that in a few minutes, by the way heres an update with some more information.
Photoshop crashes when I change the angle to 49 or higher, anything lower is fine.
I went to my event viewer and I found this:
Faulting application photoshop.exe, version 11.0.0.0, faulting module mmxcore.8bx, version 11.0.0.0, fault address 0x0000d62a.
