Can you create 180 degree motion blur in post?

Rich Parry wrote on 11/13/2020, 11:58 PM

Assume it is a bright sunny day and you forgot your ND filters at home and your camcorder doesn't have internal ND filters. You decide to shoot anyway and come home with 1/2000 shutter speed video, much faster than the 180 degree guideline. Let’s further assume the video has a lot of fast movement (e.g., person running, wheel turning, etcetera). Is there a special effect, feature, option, setting, or plug-in that helps give the video a pseudo 180 degree rule result?

Thanks in advance,

Rich

Can we also assume that you actually did all these things?

@3POINT - OK! $109 gets you the Pro version. Now that I understand what may be required, how about the Vegas Motion Blur on the Video Master Track? I’ve successfully done that before now.

Can you show that result? Vegas Motion Blur gives me only repeated ghost images, not a real motion blur.

@3POINT - This was about 10 years back. I’ll see if I can dig it out.

@3POINT - I was wrong - it was 15 years ago!!! - And, it was in 4x3 25i, oooo haven't I learned a lot since those heady days of experimentation? - Buy Revision FX! - I do know when I'm beaten. 😎

@Grazie Doesn't matter 10 or even 15 years ago. Nothing has changed since that time to Vegas Motion Blur, unfortunately.

I just compared Vegas Motion Blur with a demoversion of RSMB. Original, VMB and RSMB:

@3POINT - Huh, I was confusing MOTION BLUR with MOTION TRAILS. I have some of both using Video Master Track. I’ve got more of a more smoother paintily, graphic look. Having had a closer look at RSMB Promos I see what is being asked for here.

2026..

no matter how i change parameters in latest RSMB plugin, i got this strange artifacts. WHY?

And price is $110!
Is it normal?

What other solutions is available?
Maybe some free avisynth mvtools script? Or?

thanks

@relaxvideo I'm not sure what you mean in your example. Adding motion blur means just blurring moving objects and keep static objects sharp. To distinguish between moving and static objects, there should be no camera movements.
