Vector Input Type Settings

Vector Input Type button

Select whether the vector inputs are Absolute or Normalized.

Vector Input Type max dispersion field

This field displays the level of motion displacement in the image. Set it to the same value that was set in the 3D application.

Vector Input Type blue channel magnitude button

Enable this button to use the blue channel as a magnitude multiplication of the maximum displacement value.

Vector Input Type back as no movement button

Enable this button to set black pixels as no movement in the motion vector. When it is enabled, you can set a threshold value for near-black pixels.

Vector Input Type threshold field

Displays the level of near-black pixels taken into account in the conversion.

Blur Type Settings

Blur Type button

Enable this button to select between trails and samples. Choose trails for a pixel-based motion blur. Choose a sample for an accumulation-based motion blur.

Blur Type amount field

This field displays the amount of motion blur applied to the image.

Blur Type softness field

This field displays the amount of softness applied to the trails. It is only available when the blur type is trails.

Blur Type samples field

This field displays the amount of samples applied to the image. The higher the value, the more samples are used and the smoother the image will be. This field is only available when the blur type is samples.

Blur Type balance field

This field displays the amount of blur that either precedes or follows the image. The more positive the number, the more blur precedes the image. The more negative the number, the more blur follows the image.

Artefacts Settings

Artefacts vector softness field

This field displays the amount of softness that is applied to reduce the quality of vectors, and therefore solve precision artefacts.

Artefacts post blur field

This field displays the amount of global blur applied after other effects have been applied. Use this field conservatively.

Artefacts matte filled field

This field displays the amount used to fill in gaps in the matte. This field is best applied after the softness has been adjusted. It is only available when the blur type is set to trails.

Colour Interpolation Settings

Colour Interpolation button

Enable this button to verify that the source is already premultiplied, in which case the colour interpolation effect must treat the image differently for the effect to work properly. This button is only functional when there is an input matte.

Motion Opacity Curve

Motion Opacity Curve

The Motion Opacity Curve allows you to control the opacity of the trail by shaping it using the curve.
