When Motion Blur is turned off during an animation, it doesn't make a keyframe. Sometimes I want Motion Blur on, and sometimes I don't; consequently, being able to turn it on and off throughout an animation would be nice.

Also, I think turning off Stroke for the extra images would be a nifty option (not the primary image). In some artwork, the Strokes on the extra images don't look right with Motion Blur. The duplicated Strokes make the art look too computer-y, and they can also foil the motion effect.

Also also, it would be nice to establish one's Motion Blur preferences in the Settings. And then a person could simply click a "Use preferences" button on the Motion Blur tab and import them.

Thanks. Keep up the awesome work.

You might try putting a reference of the object behind the original. That way the reference layer visibility could be turned on and off, and you could remove the strokes.

That's a neat idea.

Unfortunately, I'm one of those people who consider reference layers an advanced feature that I generally avoid unless I have no choice.

Based on personal experience, using reference layers is like asking for things to go wrong while animating -- like whenever I try animating layers.

If you want to add the motion blur after the animation is done, you could just use a duplicate that has all the existing animation.

If you edit the animation, you'd just have to copy the keyframes over to the duplicate yourself.

A few years ago I animated characters running and opening different doors along a wall. I wanted to animate the camera so it effected the whole animation. So I was able to key frame the motion blur, also the characters weren't needing the motion blur all the time. I believe I key framed it but don't remember how I did it exactly. I'll have to look at the file. You could always reference the outlined objects and just add a slight blur to those while animating the motion blur on the rest of the object.

Sorry didn't read all the comments about reference.

Make sure you check "animated effects" in the layers tab. I was able to motion blur a shape moving left to right with motion blur on and off going back the other way I hope this helps
