Applying Camera Motion Blur

The Camera Motion Blur effect creates a blur similar to what you’d get in a photograph by jostling the camera during a long exposure. It’s particularly effective with an image showing lights on a dark background.

Camera Motion Blur.

3 .

In the document window, drag to create the blur motion.

The direction and intensity of the blur is determined by your cursor movement. For example, fast movement produces a different blur than slow. A longer drag path increases the amount of blur. Straight, curved, and zigzag movements also produce different effects.

4 .

In the Camera Motion Blur dialog box, adjust the Bias slider to move the origin of motion along the drag path.
