Preview of the True Motion Blur effect

Blurs the layer along the way it really moves, turns and grows, like a camera shutter. A wider shutter angle gives longer trails and more samples give smoother ones. The preview shows a quicker blur unless Full Blur is on.

True Motion Blur works like a camera shutter. Shutter Angle is how long the shutter stays open: 180 degrees is the usual film look and 360 gives the longest trails. Samples is how many copies are blended: more is smoother but slower.

It follows the real movement of the layer, including motion effects. The preview shows a quick approximation unless Full Blur is on in the preview strip.
