Motion Blur settingsControls motion blur applied to garbage masks that can be used to match the movement of objects in a clip. See Applying Motion Blur to Garbage Masks.

NoteThere are additional setup options to do with animating garbage masks. These only appear when you disable Shape Animation in the Garbage Mask menu. For more information, see Animating Masks Using Spline Keyframing.

Icons buttonGlobally displays or hides the garbage mask splines and axes.

NoteIf you hide garbage maks splines and axes with the Icons button, the Widget All / Widget Sel button in the View menu has no effect.

Auto Tangents buttonPositions a tangent for each vertex set to create a smooth curve between the vertices. When Auto Tangents is disabled, the tangents are positioned under the vertex, resulting in straight lines between vertices. When you draw freehand segments in a mask with Auto Tangents off, vertices are added with broken tangents, allowing the mask to follow your cursor movement.
