Motion Blur Question

Hi,
I have been trying to turn off motion blur by clicking on the "bypass motion blur" button on the track menu, but I am still seeing it whether I "Print To Tape" or "Render As".
It was off until enabled in VV3 and I never used it because it blurred people's faces every time the camera panned. Now I am getting blurred faces and can't seem to eliminate it.
Any suggestions? Do I have to check "force resample" as well?

Thanks,
John

Maybe just plain deleting the effect itself?

AND: I figure out you're actually trying to render from your original project and NOT from an already rendered clip that's got motion blur applied?

As for the Force Resample, it depends of what you want, maybe you should just let the auto resample option work by itslef ...

In any situation, you can do a quick spot check using th Build Dynamic RAM Preview option on a part of your clip before rendering. It will save you time.

I keep searching for answers and have turned up conflicting stories in back posts. As nearly as I can figure it Motion Blur is NOT turned on by default as it was in VV3 (where you could turn it off). You have to add a track envelope in track view which is not visible by default. Then you can turn it off in the track menu by clicking on Bypass Motion Blur.
Reduce interlace flicker can be clicked on but it doesn't work unless you force resample the video in which case you also have to render (not Print To Tape). By it's nature this "feature" introduces a predetermined amount of motion blur which then blurs peoples faces as they walk (but they don't flicker).
Or you can enable the Video Track view and right click on it to choose Add Motion Blur Amount in which case a submenu is supposed to pop up (according to the whitepaper I downloaded from the support menu here)to choose the amount, but I have yet to figure out where it is hiding. Once a person figures out where this is hiding one can then add smaller amounts of motion blur to reduce interlace flicker as long as you didn't choose the matching original video properties option when you captured.

Let no man ever accuse Vegas Video of not being intuitive.

In VV3, Motior Blur type and amount were set in the project properties dialog. In V4, just the type is set there, the amount is now keyframeable with the Motion Blur envelope on the Video Bus Track. Since this envelope does not exist by default, you'd have NO motion blur. You won't until you create the envelope and set it to a non-zero amount.

The blending you might be seeing could be caused by event resampling due to frame rate differences, perhaps?

Thanks Dennis,

The question involves a few other posts which I can't seem to resolve.
I am trying to get rid of interlace flicker in my final render, but the "reduce interlace flicker" option seems to add motion blur. I tried smart resample and force resample and the results are the same.
