Motion blur in FCP X?

How do I turn Motion Blur on for an image in FCPX?
I have a png supplied by the client that I am applying some movement to to and need to introduce some motion blur to smooth the motion a little, any ideas?
Thanks
Tony

I hope I am wrong but it's another short-coming of FCPX.  I like to do speed ramps (which don't work nearly as well as FCP7's Time Remapping) and I can't add motion blur to the shot.. and sending to Motion5 is not streemlined eaither....  Bummer...
Other gripes:
KeyFrame Interperation for ANY keyframes.  NOT THERE
Drop Shadows for PSD or other GFX files (only for text)
Bad Organization of Projects
Lack of user control
(so many more)....

  • Lost motion blur atribute in FCP Motion Embed

    I've placed a Motion 4 graphic sequence onto my FCP timeline and it works fine except for that it no longer recognizes the motion blur I added to some fly-in text. "Motion blur" is selected in the render pulldown.
    Any way I can get this to work without having to render?

    For motion blur in a Motion project to work in FCP, you need to select the sequence, go to Sequence > Settings, go to the Render Control tab, and set the render quality to Best.

  • Motion Blur from Motion 3 not appearing in FCP

    I've looked to see if this is something that is a non-feature - but when i send a clip to Motion and back to FCP with motion blur on it is non-existent. I've even tried just importing a motn file but no motion blur. Any ideas? thx!

    Figured it out... it's amazing what some Toffee Popcorn will do.
    So in FCP ... in the Sequence Settings > Render Control > Master Templates and Motion Projects.... somehow the "Always Use Best Quality When Rendering" was unchecked... even after trashing my prefs... uh oh well. May this be indexed for ages to come for all those with lack of blur. Thx again!

  • FCP Motion Blur?

    OK, here’s the scenario. On FCP 4 I believe, I have a picture that I scanned and looks very nice on the comp, but when I stick it on FCP and render and play it, the people (like 20 people, it’s a swim team photo) becomes all blurry. I tried motion blur, like at 0% and one clip/frame or whatever that thing is, and it is still blurry. Can someone please help me?

    You cannot judge it by how it appears in the canvas.
    It must be viewed on your NTSC production monitor.

  • 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.

  • Motion blur causes opacity shift

    Whenever I apply motion blur to my project, the opacity of the individual elements seems to jump to around 50% when I render, even objects that aren't moving. Is this a known problem or just something that my system might be generating?

    Sorry, I cannot duplicate this for you. Neither manually setting opacity KFs nor using Fade behavior produce any change in my HD layer group resolution.
    I usually avoid anything that truncates a Motion (or AE) movie project and build in some handles so I can handle transitions in the editor (unless the effect is only available in AE or Motion).
    what happens if you just fade in out in the FCP timeline? If it still blurs, there's a render setting amiss, regardless of what your machine is indicating for settings.
    Hope you get more beneficial responses.

  • Fast motion blur/ghosting

    i have seen various posts on problems with slow motion where it creates a ghosting/lag/blurry eye hurting product. I have seen responses to this problem via changing the motion blur attributes in the video tab.
    I am seeing a similar effect when i speed things up too. Is it the same answer?
    how can i get rid of that seizure inducing lag/ghosty problem when i speed up video in FCP?
    please help, deadline imminent!

    Turn off MOTION BLUR when you make the speed adjust.
    Or use the Nattress 50% filter. www.nattress.com

  • 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?

  • Andy's Motion Blur tinting

    Hi all, and Andy!
    Usually when using Andy's motion blur plugin I just use the blur, but this time have gone for the mosaic.
    It seems to have given a blue/greenish tint to the mosaic area... although I haven't added any tint in the filter.. any ideas why this is?
    Also - my system really slows down when using the mosaic rather than blur - and rendering takes about 10 times as long! Is that something I just live with if using mosaic, or my settings somewhere?
    Cheers
    Hugh

    I've not used Andy's plugin (though I'm sure it's awesome)
    Check my reply to your earlier message for a way to do it in FCP...
    ...or someone may chime in with the solution to Andy's blur.

  • Error message when importing motion files into FCP

    In FCP.
    I choose a clip/clips in my sequence. Then choose send to motion project and follow the directions from the training dvd.
    By unchecking (embed "motion" content) then save the file with a different name. Then continue with making my graphics over the video clip/clips.
    When I am done I then shut off the video layer of the clip in the motion timeline. Then I save the project. Then close Motion and try to import the motion project in FCP.
    When I try to import, I get an error message stating "File Error: 1 files(s) recognized, 0 access denied, 1 unknown."
    I go back to the training file to try the same procedure and it works fine.
    Go back to my own project and it doesn't work.
    Any ideas? Anyone?
    I have a Mac Pro 2.66GHz / 5 gigs of ram / 512 vram ATI graphics card
    Also working with universal software for FCP studio.
    Intel 2.66GHz Mac OS X (10.4.9)
    Intel 2.66GHz   Mac OS X (10.4.9)  

    OK???
    Don't know what the deal is. But I made a new sequence in my project and copied my other sequence with in the new one and then tried to do the whole clip step for step process of send to motion and importing back in and it worked!!!!
    I check all the listed settings of my sequence in my browser window and both the old sequence and new sequence are the same.
    I am happy that I can move on with my work, yet I am frustrated with the fact that I am not sure exactly what the problem is.
    Thank You Again!

  • 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
    Message was edited by: motoredd

    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'.
