AI Motion Blur in Avid | The One FIX for High Shutter Speed

📽️ Fix Choppy Video with AI — Introducing Motion Blur ML for Boris FX Continuum!

Ever shoot drone or action cam footage with a high shutter speed because you didn’t have an ND filter? The result is usually “stuttering” or “choppy” video that lacks that smooth cinematic feel. Now you can fix it in post — thanks to Motion Blur ML in Boris FX Continuum.

In this video, Zak Ciotti shows you how to rescue your footage by adding realistic, motion-estimated blur inside Avid Media Composer. You’ll see how to transform crisp, jittery frames into buttery smooth shots that look like they were filmed with a professional cinema shutter angle.

🧠 What You’ll Learn
• Why high shutter speeds cause “stuttering” video
• How to apply BCC+ Motion Blur ML in Avid Media Composer
• Comparing the “Faster” vs. “Better” Optical Flow models
• How to visualize motion using Speed Maps and Motion Vectors
• Tips for handling “Parallax” issues on static objects (like clouds vs. buildings)
• Using “Limit Low Motion” to prevent unwanted warping

🎬 About This Video
Motion Blur ML uses advanced Optical Flow technology to analyze the movement of every pixel in your scene. It intelligently generates the missing blur information that a natural camera shutter would have captured, making it the perfect tool for fixing drone shots, action sports, or timelapse footage where exposure settings compromised the motion.
