Fast motion?

Post by jessica951 »

I am not completely sure what it is called, but does anyone know how to animate action lines or the background to make an object look like it's going really fast?

For background blurs you will need a long background and blur it horizontally (directional blur) or just paint a 'streaked' background.

Try this:
Get some very small image (about 100 x 100 px) of a landscape. Import into AS. Scale until it matches your project's height. Then scale it only horizontally so it's at least 20x wider than high. Move it from one side to the other in only 20 frames (linear).

AS 11 MacPro 12core 3GHz 32GB OS 10.11 Quicktime 10.7.3
