Motion Blur Cinema 4d Lite

can somebody explain how to get a simple motion blur effect using after effects and cinema 4d lite?

Attach a Cinema 4D Tag called Motion Blur to the object that is moving, then in the render settings enable the effect Sub-Frame Motion Blur. You will only see the Motion Blur in the Picture Viewer or in the After Effects Final Quality render I think this should do the trick

  • Standard motion blur on 3d camera uses premature frame samples

    Hi there everyone, I was wondering if anyone has ever noticed the following issue:
    I have created a couple of 3D layers in AE "space", having a camera zip panning and tilting from one to the other. We're talking like 15 frames rotation moves, so worth a little blurring. Now AE creates a very nice motion blur on those zippy camera moves, be it that half of the sixteen samples needed to calculate the motion blur are taken from the frames yet to come (?????) So, especially in a 'banking' kind of rotation, causing an over time calculated spin blur, the blur itself pops in even before the camera has moved (it's like five frames 'ahead').
    Does anyone of you have a similar experience? Is there a workaround without having to create every blur manually?
    Oh, by the way, CC Force Time blur crashes on this because it does not like certain effects I used, like Text Anarchy and a couple of standard AE effects (??)
    Please help me out on this one. It's easy to recreate this issue: create a new comp, throw in a camera and a video layer and have this video layer rotating round its Z-axis once in a five frames duration, in linear interpolation. Now switch on motion blur for this layer and the timeline. You will notice the blur appears before the video layer has started rotating and when the rotation has stopped, the motion blur is long gone. Appreciate any help, thx.

    Hi Mylenium and thanks for taking the time. I appreciate it a lot, certainly when a known AE guru like you picks up a question like this one.
    Unfortunately, though I have tried every offset in steps of 90 degrees up to 720, but the problems persists. Maybe a bigger offset helps? Or a negative one (if possible, haven't tried yet...)
    I don't think this would be of any importance, but the layers I use are mainly AE generated text layers.... but now that I think of it, the entire camera move was imported from Cinema 4D, so every timeline frame is a lineair camera keyframe as well... 546 frames, and thus 546 keyframes for the poor 3D cam... could that be messing up the motion blur calculation.....?
    I guess I will try that right after dinner. Thanks again so far, I feel honoured.

  • AE CS5.5: Motion Blur creates random twirl effects on text layer

    Hello @ all!
    I'm facing the following problem:
    I imported a scene rendererd out of Cinema 4D which contains few Null-objects. The Nulls are supposed to be placeholders and they have 3D-Data. They are animated.
    When i link my textlayers to the nulls and switch on motion blur, the text layers seem to be affected by a random affect. They twirl all around the scene.
    I played around with the shutter angle, but i can only avoid this unwanted effect, when i set it to zero.
    Does this have to do with a problem according to the interpretation of the coordinates exported out of cinema 4D?
    How could i solve this problem?
    Any help is appreciated....
    Best,
    Paul

    Sounds like a problem in the export where angles flip over when gretar than 180 degrees, a.k.a. gimbal lock. Depending on what features you used in C4D this could be perfectly normal, but it could also be a bug in the AEC export. Impossible to tell without seeing the scene, but e.g. using the Align to Spline tag does this consistently if the spline makes turns exceeding those angular limits. Just a normal limitation in that case... So more or less your issue is in C4D, not AE and you need to fix it there.

  • Motion blur cineware

    Anyone know a way to add motion blur to cinema4D projects via cineware? I've tried "pixel blur,"  but this gives poor results. seems like the physical renderer in cinema does not work with AE. What am I doing wrong?
    Mac OS 10.9.3
    Mac Pro late 2013 6 Core Dual AMD 500
    Cinema4D R14

    The same problem. I tried to import vector blur from C4D through multi-pass - but got only solid yellow layer...

  • 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.

  • How do I select an image with motion blur so that I can put it onto a different background ?

    How do I overlay a image with motion blur on a white background (like the first image) onto a different background (to look like the second image)? any help would be greatly appreciated, many thanks ,ed

    I’m afraid you may have bitten off more than you might want to chew.
    The resulting pixels of an in-camera-blur combine information about the color/brightness of back- and foreground (edit: the result of surface properties and lighting conditions) with motion (basically transparency for this task) in such a way that it seems exceedingly difficult (maybe even improssible) to isolate the foreground in a »pure« form.
    One may get a halfway decent mask (as the backgound is at least almost uniform and brighter than the foreground elements) but you may have to manually decontaminate the transparent areas, otherwise the masked object in front of a dark background would have a bright edge.

  • Motion Blur doesn't work in Final Cut Pro

    I've been working on stuff and int he past Motion Blur worked and now when I use it the motion blur has refused to work as a preview or after I render it. Is there something i'm doing wrong that's making it happen?
    I'm using Mac OS X Leopard, the latest final cut pro and i'm using blue and green screen and Chroma Keyer and image control sinc ei'm making a sillouette and it's worked for me before.
    If someone can reply and suggest anything that would be awseome.

    Does your object to be blurred actually move...if not then use a blur filter
    When you check the motion blur box and click the disclosure triangle what is the Blur percentage? did you try increasing it? If so does it make a difference?

  • How to add motion blur to the shatter effect?

    I am trying to add motion blur to the shatter effect, iv created my own custom shatter map with text that remains after the effect is complete, i have tried to add motion blur through the other blur effects and i have not found one that will do the motion blur correctly.
    what im wanting is for there to be motion blur on the pieces that are shattering, any suggestions?

    There are suggestions toward the bottom of this page, including a tip using the Timewarp effect. I found this by searching for 'motion blur'.

  • Cinema 4d Lite Text Disappearing

    Hi,
    All of a sudden my text in Cinema 4D Lite is disappearing. I enter text, make the text a child of the extrude object then place the extrude object with text child into the Fracture Object. Once in the Fracture object the text disappears. I still have the directional arrows for the text, but no text. This has worked on several other text animations I have made, but now will not work.
    Anyone have any ideas on what is going wrong?
    Thanks,
    George

    Perhaps something to do with the font and the Fracture object not being able to produce clean internal mesh separations. Impossible to know without more info and screenshots of your scene and settings.

  • Does cinema 4d lite work without cinema 4d

    If I get the Creative Cloud subscription, because I only have CS.6 right now, does Cinema 4d Lite work in After Effects without the whole Cinema 4d program?

    Cinema 4D Lite is a full application and does not rely on previously installed Cinema 4D applications.

  • Cinema 4d Lite Does Not Load

    Hi,
    I can't seem to get Cinema 4d Lite to start. Has anyone had this issue? I click the app. It then appears in my dock then disappears after a few moments.
    I am on a mac running os x 10.8.4 and have an nvidia 9400M gpu.
    Any help is appreciated.

    Never mind. In After effects I need to go to File->Maxon Cinema Maxon Cinema 4d File.
    I was using my mac's Finder to launch the cinema 4d lite app. That's the wrong way.

  • 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.
