FREE Motion Blur Effect

Adding motion blur in post-production is a technique used to create the appearance of motion that looks more natural and smooth. Timelapses, speed ramps, footage shot at a high frame rate or with a high shutter speed can look much more natural when motion blur is applied. This pack comes with 10 motion blur presets as adjustment layers to overlay on top of your footage, and 5 as effects to apply to individual clips.
