Boris Continuum 2023 Motion Blur Boris FX

Overview

The Boris Continuum Motion Blur filter creates a realistic blur on the motion in an image, simulating the effect of shooting a moving object on film. The blur is based on the motion of the pixels in the image.

Based upon optical flow technology, this filter examines past and future frames to determine the motion of the pixels in the image. Depending upon the selected settings, a blur or a smear is applied to the pixels that move from one frame to the next. You can also use a clip in the timeline as a source for motion and then apply the motion from the chosen clip to the filtered track.

Features

Highlights

• Presets and Common Controls – BCC filters come with a library of factory installed presets plus the ability to create your own custom presets and preview them with the BCC FX Browser.
  BCC filters also include common controls that configure global effect preferences and other host-specific effect settings.
• Compare Mode – This handy feature enables you to view the filtered result beside the unfiltered source shot without having to toggle the filter on and off and is a very convenient way to fine tune the results. The Compare Mode includes a side-by-side view as well as a split wipe bar and can optionally compare the result to a separate source clip in the view pane.
• Blur Types – The Motion Blur filter can apply two different types of blur to the source – Blur and Smear. Blur will use motion data from past and future frames to create a bi-directional blurred result, where the blur will appear on both sides of the moving object. Smear ignores future frames and only uses data from motion detected in past frames, the result being that the blur is applied only on one side of the moving object.
• New Advanced Optical Flow Algorithm – This Advanced mode uses OpenCL hardware assisted rendering to implement a more sophisticated (and more computationally intensive) motion vector analysis. 
• Foreground Mask Option – A Channel menu determines which channel from the Foreground source is used to create the foreground mask, the choices being Red, Green, Blue, Luma or Alpha. The Foreground Blur Type menu sets the type of motion blur that is created on the foreground mask, either Blur or Smear.
• Optical Flow – The Motion Blur filter utilizes the power of optical flow algorithms, which are used in this filter to automatically trace the movement of pixels in the image over time. This data is then used to instruct the filter as to what movement in the shot needs to be blurred. Most of the time you’ll never need to make an adjustment to the default state of the parameters in the optical flow section of the filter, but some problem shots might require adjustment to produce the desired result.
• Integrated Pixelchooser With Mocha – Like most filters in the Continuum product, the Motion Blur filter includes the PixelChooser matte and masking system with integrated mocha planar tracking and spline masking making it possible to further isolate motion blur to specific regions of the image.
