Generate Realistic Motion Blur on Anything [Boris FX Silhouette]

Learn how to use the Motion Blur node (Silhouette v2024.5+) to create realistic motion blur - powered by machine-learning optical flow. Utilize the faster Optical Flow ML model to generate motion vectors, and convert that flow data to motion blur. Ben shows practical applications such as adding motion blur to time-lapse and retimed shots. Create better results and more realistic composites. Matching motion blur when compositing elements is crucial. Also learn how to save node presets, and apply motion blur to alpha channels.

Choosing the right model can create much better results. • Key parameters such as shutter time, samples, and vector direction (forward, reverse, or both) can be adjusted and balanced for varying levels of motion blur. • Node Presets for Efficiency: Users can save node setups to streamline workflows, enabling quick application of motion blur across multiple shots. • Realistic Compositing: The motion blur node helps match motion blur between different elements, preventing inconsistencies in retimed footage or composited alpha channels. #silhouette #VFX #motionblur
