I've been trying for quite some time to make Motion Blur as a normal effect plug-in and I want to ask if it is even possible. Can I access the layer's transforms through a normal effect plug-in? What do I need to use?

I wanna make sure if it is possible or not. The only other way is making it an AEGP, right? I would like to avoid that.

I don't know if this will help with what you are trying to achive or not, but the third-party plugin ReelSmart Motion Blur by RE:Vision Effects is well known for applying a natural-looking motion blur via an effect as an alternative to the built-in Motion Blur Switch.

I know about RSMB, but I want to code my own Motion Blur plugin. Thanks anyway.

either AEGP_GetLayerToWorldXform or AEGP_GetLayerToWorldXformFromView will get you tra transformation for a given time, which you can use to calc motion blur.

however, as for the rest of your question, it's a bit too broad. can you explain what you're trying to do in more detail?

Thanks.

At least now I know I can make it. Any simple example of how to use those to access the transforms? Would be helpful tbh.

And for the rest of the question, I was talking about making Motion Blur as an AEGP (Artisan ig) if making it a normal effect plugin was not an option.

Also, for a tiles effect, I use the same stuff, right? I need to access the layer's transforms for that one too.
