Animation Blur

This entry covers the function of adding blur to animations.  This can be done by enabling the Sampled Motion Blur box in the Render tab.  There are two parameters that can be adjusted, Motion Samples increases the fidelity of the blur, while Shutter determines the length of the streak as it pertains to a camera shutter speed.

The use of this can add realism to your movie as most cinema is not recorded in high-speed shutter, so some blur occurs.  A comparison of a single frame of no blur versus blur shows the obvious difference, though in motion it's subtle.  The first image shows a transition of words without blur.

This image shows the same exact motion but with blur turned on.
