RE:Vision Effects ReelSmart Motion Blur

Adds natural motion blur to footage

Subcategories

About this software

ReelSmart Motion Blur applies natural-looking motion blur by automatically tracking every pixel, using optical flow to derive motion vectors. It can also use motion vectors supplied by 3D systems, and includes support for 360/equirectangular footage with edge-aware optical flow. Available as a plug-in for hosts including After Effects, Premiere Pro, Final Cut Pro, Resolve, Nuke, Natron and OFX-compatible hosts. A Pro license adds compatibility with additional high-end hosts and workflows.

Licenses & prices

Standard

Standard provides automatic optical-flow motion blur for single-layer footage, applying per-pixel blur based on motion estimation.

Professional

Professional adds advanced motion estimation, external motion-vector support, and finer blur controls for complex compositing workflows.

Frequently asked questions

What does RE:Vision Effects ReelSmart Motion Blur do?
Applies motion-based blur by analyzing frame-to-frame movement and blurring pixels along motion trajectories to produce smoother perceived motion in footage or composites.
How does it generate motion blur from footage?
Performs motion estimation (optical-flow-style analysis) to derive per-pixel motion vectors, then applies directional blur based on those vectors with adjustable timing and strength.
How is the effect typically applied in a post-production workflow?
Used as a plugin effect on clips or layers inside a compositing or editing host, processed per-frame and combined with originals; can be restricted with mattes or layer masks.
How do quality settings affect rendering performance?
Higher quality settings—greater sub-frame sampling, radius, and motion accuracy—increase processing time; impact scales with frame resolution and complexity of motion in the shot.
Can the blur be limited to specific areas or objects?
Yes; use mattes, masks, or layered workflow techniques to confine the effect to selected regions or objects, allowing selective application and refinement.
