How do I do motion blurring?

Can someone how I can do motion blurring?
OK… so I can open up Photoshop and just do a blur.

What I’m talking about is when you have one screen shot and you zoom into a small part of the screen… and you kind of have a blurred motion effect.

OK… so your lost… and don’t understand what I’m talking about!

Have a look at the following website:

This has the transition effect I’m talking about.

Any help would be appreciated.

Thanks.

In photoshop go to filters>>blur and pick your blur type. FOr what you have shown looks like radial blur. Then in flash transition between a blurred version of an image to a clean one. Some nice 3d on that site

actually looking at it again most of the blur is being done with the camera. Meaning motion blur is applied in the render and animation.

i think it coulda been after effects

After Effects?

wow… that was kewl!
could u send the fla…?
or if its too big…
could u upload it somewhere?

and about after effects… thanks for the linkt google. :slight_smile:
i’m still a bit confused… because i thought after effects was for adding special effects to video? or have i got the wrong product?

no your right about it being used mostly for video, but you can do some really cool things with it and compress it with something like sorenson squeeze and bring it into flash to achieve some really impressive results.

I really wouldnt waste time doing blur in post production. As you are right it is for special effects. Most 3d apps have motion blur that you have more control over in production. But with careful planning you can pull off those effects with 2-3 images and some good tween transitions. The key is trial and error.

sounds like sound advice. :slight_smile:

i might delve into after dark though…
the purpose i want to use the motion blurring is for a flash application on cd rom.
so bandwidth is not an issue.
