Mobject motion blur problem

I'm manipulating mobject generators in Motion. When finished with the generator and moving over to final cut the mobjects have motion blur that I cant figure out how to turn off. No other movement in the motion generator is blurred.only the mobject which leads me to believe its a setting in mobject that I can't locate. Anyone point me in right direction?

Contact [email protected] and ask them about it.  I don't experience the problem and I can change motion blur by adding it in the customary way (described above.)
There are other parameters available that might look like motion blur... Antialiasing Quality, DoF (depth of field), AO (ambient occlusion), etc. that might have an effect on the appearance of motion in mObject.

  • CS4 Export: Motion Blur problem.

    Hi,
    I'm having problems exporting a bunch of sequences to h264. Source files are MPEG2, sequence is DV, export is h264 through Adobe Media Encoder. For some reason, the exported video has weird motion blur, but that effect is not added to the videos. All I did was level the audio and export. What could be wrong? Known bug, perhaps?
    Any help appreciated. Thanks.

    Had the same problem as well. Did some experiment on it and managed to solve it on CS4.
    Select entire clip in the timeline
    Right click on the clips and uncheck "Frame Blend"
    Then export it.
    It works for me... hope it does for u too.
    Cheers

  • Motion Blur Problem/Potential Bug

    Hi,
    I am having a problem when motion blur is activated. My comp. consists of media moving onto screen and 3D cameras moving in and out of the composition. When motion blur is activated the desired effect is created, however when the cameras move in and out on the image (with motion blur activated) the anchor point appears to be affected and it is sent behind the background. The only way I have been able to make the image visible is adjusting the anchor point, but I wanted to figure out if this was a known bug before I do this throughout my entire project.
    I am running Windows 7 Pro 64-bit with After Effects 12.2.1.5 on a custom build with i7 3.5Ghz, 16GB Ram, and a NVIDIA GeForce GTX 680.
    If anyone could give me an idea on if this is a bug that will eventually be addressed or if there is a solution other than adjusting anchor point please let me know.
    Thanks,

    I have done quite a bit of research today as to whether this was a bug or a mistake I made and this has happened to other's in after effects, however I got no productive information on if it was a bug or a mistake. To address the other topics you brought up:
    1. I am quite aware that only one camera can be active at a time, and yes I have multiple cameras that are active in differerent sections of my composition, none overlap each other however.
    2. And as far as the anchor moving by itself, it is not necessarly "moving", the anchor position data in the timeline does not change and have no parent or active keyframes. However for a number of frames the image disappears behind the background giving the impression that the anchor point is changed. The reasoning for why I intially thought there was a bug was the image would disappear in the middle of its motion and reappear toward the end of it's movement.

  • 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.

  • MOTION BLUR & LIP SYNC PROBLEM

    This problem is with encoding in CS5.
    Using Encore to make a DVD I had to Transcode all my assets because of the "end of file" error
    on doing this I had 7 clips out of 18 with either motion blur (may be jitter) and audio out of sync with the video but not on all of them.
    Then I re encoded my originals in Prem Pro using different settings but still the same problem.
    Your help would be appreciated
    johnacs5

    Hi Jim & sellador,
    As I am from England all my work is PAL 25 fps
    This particular clip has the worst blur or jitter quite painful to watch. Oddly enough plays fine on the time line or viewer but not in WMP or DVD on computer or television (this must tell us something)
    I have now done over 20 different outputs the best being de interlace no blur but the quality suffered.
    Right some info:
    Material, Original clip as shown in adobe properties: mpeg - 25fps Aspect 4:3 1.094 pixel
    720 x 576 - Upper field first - average bit rate 871kb/s - Audio 48k

  • 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.

  • My text moves to the wrong place when I apply motion blur!

    Hello friends! thanks in advance for any able to solve my problem. when ever I apply motion blur to moving text it repositions the text permanently.... I have to delete the motion blur effect in order to have it text stay on course...any suggestions?

    "Delete the motion blur effect"?  Sounds like you are applying an effect, rather than turning on motion blur.
    Please provide a detailed explanation of the process that causes the problem.  If possible, post a screengrab as well.
    Note that Motion Blur, at its core, does alter the position of animation by blurring the disnace between two moments in time.  When you activate motion blur, it samples the position of your text at multiple points in time to create the illusion of motion blur.  If your text is moving very fast, the results can be surprisingly major.

  • Imported video has "motion-blur" artifacts, but original is fine.

    Hi,
    I've just purchased a Samsung SMX-F30 standard-def camcorder. I've shot a few clips and decided to test its compatibility with iMovie. iMovie recognised the camcorder with no problems and imported all my clips without any hassle. However, when I play the clips in iMovie if the clip has any motion, say an arm or hand being waved or head moving, then the image blurs in a way I can only describe as "interlace staggering". That is, alternate lines in the fram shift position left and right alternately. This is really annoying as you can imagine!
    A few details about my setup other than the machine details below:
    Clips recorded in 4:3
    iMovie defaults when importing
    iMovie version is 8.0.2 (I think)
    iMovie imports to an external firewire 500GB hard drive
    Clips not analysed for stabilisation after import
    Camera records in "H.264/AVC Format" according to the manual
    Recording at approx 5Mbps
    Camera was using built-in electronic anti-shake
    I hope someone can suggest a few things to try as I've just returned to movie making after owning a Mini-DV based camcorder 10 years ago!
    Thanks
    Stuart

    His book gives specific directions and more info on AVCHD with frame rates and bits...so definately buy the book. Your question: It kinda depends on your set up. Many people need to import into imovie 9 just so they can get an editable copy of the footage. So then you make your way over to the events folder and import the events into another program for turning it into progressive and de-interlacing it. You have to becareful because you will have duplicate footage.
    He goes into details on how to do this. I have a different workflow because i import on a different machine using imovie6 since i am working with tapes. Then i convert it before i import it again into imovie. My DV footage doesn't get motion blur though so i am only doing this workflow to ensure no quality loss.

  • Motion blur is messing up my composition

    Hey all,
    I'm working on a project which involves 3d space (using camera tracker). Everything is going fine until I needed to turn on motion blur for a layer. When i switched it on for the composition, things start to get weird. If you play the video, the null objects visibly "rotate" instantly, move from spot to spot randomly, and it's obvious that something is not right. When i turn off the motion blur, the object right themselves.
    Does anyone have any suggestions? I think i can work through it by creating a new composition then dropping the existing into that and turning on motion blur there, but i would rather be able to work with it in the same comp.
    I'm working with 1920x1080p footage 30 fps in CS5.5 on a macbook pro 2.52ghz intel core 2 duo. If you need any other info just let me know.
    Thanks
    Dan

    OK, here's my best guess. When you turn on motion blur time samples differently. The keyframes that are causing the problems are at a z rotation for the camera of 179º. This made me think you were experiencing a gimbal lock with your camera moves. When the camera gimbal locks the camera orientation flips. It has nothing to do with motion blur being enabled on the layers.
    I seldom apply tracking data directly to a camera for this reason. I almost always apply the tracking data to a null then parent the camera to the null. This will prevent gimbal lock problems with the camera.
    There is a solution that may work for you. Open up the composition settings, the Advanced tab and change the Shutter phase to 0º. This should prevent the gimbal lock that you're getting. I wouldn't call this a bug, but a better workflow would have prevented the problem in the first place.

  • Activating 3d for a layer effects motion blur strangely

    Hello all
    I have a comp in which a jpg logo moves quickly across frame into position, I have motion blur enabled for the composition and the layer and it works fine. I would now like to do more work on the composition that involves camera moves so I have enabled 3d for the layer containing the logo and my motion blur, well, doesn't dissapear exactly but neither does it stay.
    I have a couple of images here to explain better...
    http://www.tinycards.co.uk/aftereffects
    sorry if this is a stupid mistake!
    many thanks

    ok half fixed it myself, I discovered the "samples per frame" setting in advanced composition settings
    if I set this at 35-40 I get a nice smooth blur.
    I have a smaller problem now however ,the 3d version is brighter than the 2d version, I assume this is because of the composite mode it uses to merge the 40 or so frames to make the blur. Is there any way of controlling this accurately?
    Also does anyone know why motion blur sample rate is automatic in 2d and not 3d?

  • Motion blur options?

    Hello!
    I'm working on a new project. Footage is being recorded from a game at 300 fps (then resampled to 30). I'd like to achieve the same motion blur as for footage take with a normal camera. I tried a few things but I'd like to see if there are some other options:
    Plain frame blending from framerate resampling from 300 to 30.
    Reel Smart Motion Blur plug-in without frame blend switch on. Looks pretty decent at first sight and renders reasonably fast. But under closer inspection it shows a lot of incorrect interpolation at a lot of elements.
    Reel Smart Motion Blur plug-in with frame blending switch on. Similar to the previous example.
    CC Force Motion Blur plug-in with interpolation switch on. Produces a great result at a cost of really long render times. Also i have no idea where to set the shutter phase (native shutter and interpolating dont work together?).
    Are there any other options?
    Thanks a bunch.

    Hey guys,
    its been a while and Im playing around with motion blur of high fps footage again.
    I've tried the effect CC Wide Time which blends a designated number of frames before and after the current frame.
    I have footage recorded at 1000 fps. In comparison frame mix would blend 40 frames into a single frame (1000 fps to 25 fps) which would represent a shutter angle of 180° (i believe). That doesn't look smooth enough in my mind, so in CC Wide Time i set the values to 80 frames total (39 ahead, 40 behind, 1 current just to be accurate ), which represents the shutter angle of 360° with a phase of -180°.
    Now the problem is that i would like to time remap the clip. After a precomp i time stretch the clip to obtain the real life time scale - 1000 fps to 25 fps, with the motion blur i describe above. If i enable time remap and start playing with slowmotion the intensity of motion blur intesity (blurred frames) stays the same, which isnt right. A way to fix that would be to use a linear 40 -> 0 frames blended corresponding to the velocity achieved by timeremaping, but i cant seem to find a way to use clip velocity in expressions.
    I could use timewarp and use speed value instead of time remap, but that seems like a pain especially when i think of applying ease to the keyframes.
    To think all of this could be avoided if CC Force Motion Blur would offer shutter phase.
    Any thoughts on the issue?
    Thanks!

  • Motion Blur

    I have created a dvd (to be played on a TV) as I was viewing it a few of the clips had motion blur. What cause this? How do I fix this problem? Does it stem all the way back to how I imported it into Final cut express or exported it?

    When you say "motion blur" is this what you mean? http://support.apple.com/kb/TA22228

  • Scaled down, rendered clips have weird motion blur

    I have a project I'm doing in FCP 4.5 on a G5. I have several clips that I have scaled down to 55% and have positioned at even X,Y coordinates. The project is rendered, but I get a weird motion blur happening - like when you're watching a low grade QT movie. I have copied and pasted the sequence into a new project/sequence timeline and re-rendered. I have motion blur selected in my main user preferences (render options) and in the sequence settings (render options).
    Any ideas why I'd be having this problem? I don't want to have to go to the length of recapturing the source footage, but I'm almost at that point.
    Any thoughts?

    Are you monitoring this on an external NTSC monitor or TV? You cannot judge the quality of your images as viewed on the computer screen.
    #2 Playback is blurry
    Shane's Stock Answer #2:
    1. Disable overlays on the canvas
    2. Make sure you've rendered everything (no green bars at the top of the timeline

    DV footage requires large amounts of data and many computations. In order to maintain frame rate and be viewable at a normal size, only about one-fourth of the DV data is used in displaying the movie to the screen. However, the DV footage is still at full quality, and is best viewed thru a TV or NTSC monitor routed thru your camera or deck.

  • Exporting HD video to Blu-ray format causes motion blur

    Using Premiere Pro CS4, I have HD video projects that are either 720p30 and 1080i  (60i). The 720p video is  1280x720 (1.0) 60fps. The 1080i footage is 1920x1080 (1.0) at 29.97 fps.
    For exporting the video to a format suitable for burning to Blu-ray (using Encore) I've am using  the  MPEG-2 Blu-Ray format using either the HDTV 1080i High  Quality or the  HDTV 720p 59.94 High Quality presets, depending on the  format of the  original video that I'm compiling.
    I didn't notice it at first but when I burned first my test Blu-ray disc I found that the video was having some wierd exaggerated motion blur characteristics going on. Any abrupt movment, such as a person turning their head or a video box shrinking from full screen to half screen would be wildly blurred. I thought it might have been a result of the burn but I subsequently found the problem was introduced during the video export process in Premiere Pro. I just didn't catch it because I wasn't looking closely enough.
    Because I am using the default settings for the two presets cited above I'm at a loss about what is introducting this blur or how to go about mitigating it. Anyone got any tips? What could be having such a problem making motion which shouldn't blur too much blur so badly? Thanks in advance for any assistance.

    Ok, I'm stumped for the moment. To better illustrate what's going on I'll post some pics of the problem. I'm using a piece of video that's not part of my projects but it does illustrate what's going on pretty well.
    The first is what Premiere Pro is displaying for the source video. I'm currently using a Sequence Preset of DVCPROHD 720P 60P even though I don't have the hardware for it. The reason being is it stopped the blur from happening in the timeline and I think that's because this preset had a 59.94 fps preset and the source video was 60fps.
    http://www.imagebam.com/image/7bd0af110335520
    The second is a Premiere Pro frame grab of what the source video file looks like. I'm using an export of Windows Bitmap with a preset of HD Square Pixel Bitmap 720p. I'm using the Progressive setting because if I choose either Upper or Lower first the image looks even worse.
    http://www.imagebam.com/image/9aa895110335495
    The third is a Premiere Pro frame grab of what the exported video file looks like. The video was exported using MPEG Blu-ray with a preset of HDTV 720p 59.94 High Quality with no modifications. I'm using an export of Windows Bitmap with a preset of HD Square  Pixel Bitmap 720p. I'm using the Progressive setting because if I choose  either Upper or Lower first the image looks even worse. Incidentally, this exported video displays in the Premiere Pro timeline with visible motion blur characteristics whereas the source video did not.
    http://www.imagebam.com/image/3a2a60110335483
    What these images show.
    1) The source video displays crisp in Premiere Pro even though this is footage of a video transition.
    2) The source video exports out with some motion blur.
    3) When you do a frame grab of the exported video the motion blur of the exported video increases.
    As I said, I'm stumped. I've tried modifying every setting in the exporter for  MPEG Blu-ray with a preset of HDTV 720p 59.94 High Quality and I can't stop this blur. I looked at the H.264 Blu-ray setting but it appears useless. Every time I try to export, the exported video crashes Media Player and when I load it into Premiere Pro I see the video now has motion blur.
    At this point I'm wondering if upgrading to CS5 will make a difference or not. That's about the only thing I can think of that I haven't tried yet.
