EDIT: seeing the reviews here saying thats its helpful is there any chance of it getting stickied?

Because iv just been asked how to do it and its one of the easiest things to do...<sub>and i wanted to make a tut

everyone dont hate me u can lock or even remove it later if you dont like it</sub>



open the render


duplicate it


have 4 copies and the original so 5 in total


dont TOUCH origial ATM leave it where it is, open the motion bluring window


click the preview button if u haven't already, and select the angle u want the render to blur towards. repeat for ALL COPIES (personally i use 0, 90, 45, and -45) STILL DONT TOUCH ORIGINAL


now move original to top u will see a slight glow around it


all i did here was add a black background so u can see what has happened after motion bluring


to tidy up merge the COPYIES together nerver merge the original with them (if u need to move them link them together)


now adjust the transarency to how you like (in this one i have taken it down to 50%)


and now you should have used motion blur to create a nice method of bluring that is able to be used other then smudging

yep it always helps

and Freeezaah if ur not going to add anything HELPFUL dont post, check ur shop i hav changed my post its on the last page

iv called it for dummies cause its very basic if u dont like it that way ill change it

Took some time to help people out. good job well done good tut..

lol

Nice tut, will help out the noobies wanting to have a play around.
If you dont mind me adding though. Where you have "repeat for ALL COPIES", wouldnt it be easier to have 2 copies...blur the copied layer, then duplicate that layer 3 times? Instead of using filter effects on each one. Just less time consuming, or maybe include the hotkey for the last filter effect, CTRL + F (PC) so that people get used to doing it quicker.

Just advice

Other than that, great job. Look forward to seeing the next.

well u need to blur them in the different directions otherwise one direction gets realy thick
and the short cut will just apply the last filter added so it will do the same as filter over and over again so it goes back to my last point

Well it does say for dummies

Good work aus, certainly improved a lot in the last month.

yay more helpful comments
