Question

Matching Motion Blur with Timewarp

Hi all,

Maybe I've misunderstood the documentation around Timewarp and the warp layer, but...

What i want to do is use the motion information from my plate to apply motion blur to an element on another layer.

What I've done is.

Apply Timewarp to additional element

Set  Speed to 100

Enabled Motion blur.

and  set the warp layer to the plate. (I've also precomped the plate as suggested in the documentation)

Now, what happens next appears to be a bug as it's not expected at all.

My Plate layer seems to override the Element layer, even when the plate is turned off or the element is solo'd.

The motion blur is applied but the output is the wrong layer.

Anybody have any ideas?

Cheers.

    Without seeing the modified properties of the layers you are having problems with it's pretty difficult to guess. Pressing U twice reveals everything that is modified.

    What I usually do to match motion blur is to enable it in the comp and the preview panel, apply CC force motion blur to the layer I need to match and make the adjustments there. You may need to pre-compose the layers to get them to match.

    If that doesn't do it please attach a screenshot.

    Hi Rick,

    Thanks for the speedy reply, I was just mocking up something to better illustrate my point.

    Am I wrong in assuming that Motion Blur should be applied to the Element?

    The element layer isn't invisible, as may be interpreted from the below, but is instead filled with the Plate layer (with Pixel Motion Blur on it).

    And "Enable Motion Blur" is checked.... I just stupidly didn't include it in the screen, and shutter is set to manual and 180.
