ReelSmart Motion Blur

Overview

By automatically tracking every pixel, ReelSmart Motion Blur applies more natural-looking motion blur with no effort!

  • Computer Arts Magazine calls ReelSmart Motion Blur "a brilliant plug-in which should be in every user's toolbox." (read the 5-star review).
  • CreativeMac.com says ReelSmart Motion Blur "lives up to and surpasses expectations, so we're giving it a Best Buy recommendation." (read the review).

Automatically add more natural-looking motion blur to a sequence using ReelSmart Motion Blur. Our tracking technology is at the heart of ReelSmart Motion Blur, so there is no handwork involved. Of course you can add as little or as much blurring as you need and even remove motion blur! Finally, you can create very interesting effects by blurring one sequence by using the motion from another.

Uses:

  • reduce strobing in sequences. Particularly useful when frame rates of video are changed after digitizing. ReelSmart Motion Blur has fewer artifacts than other methods, such as frame blending.
  • smooth the jerkiness of hand drawn and scanned animations automatically.
  • motion blur complex 3D animations when your 3D system takes too much time. In many cases, ReelSmart Motion Blur will be much faster and just as effective.
  • motion blur one sequence using another sequence's motion for unique effects. (see our Gallery for examples).
  • sharpen image sequences by removing motion blur
