Frequently Asked Questions
What is motion blur?
Motion blur simulates the streaking effect that occurs when objects or the camera move during exposure, creating a sense of speed and direction.
How is motion blur different from Gaussian blur?
Gaussian blur softens the entire image evenly, while motion blur adds directional streaks that imply movement.
Can I control the blur direction?
Yes. You can adjust the direction and intensity of the motion blur to match the movement you want to simulate.
Does motion blur work on videos?
Absolutely. Motion blur works on both images and videos, making it ideal for action clips and animated content.
Can I combine motion blur with other effects?
Yes. Motion blur works well with color grading, glow, glitch, and distortion effects for cinematic results.
