User Manual

Another technique using two Smooth Motion nodes is to use the first Smooth Motion node to
smooth the Vector and Back Vector channels. Use the second Smooth Motion to smooth the
channels you want to smooth (e.g., Disparity). This way, you use the smoothed vector channels
to smooth Disparity.
You can also try using the smoothed motion channels to smooth the motion channels.
Inputs
The Smooth Motion node includes a single orange image input.
–
Input: The orange image input accepts a 2D image. This is the sequence of images
for which you want to compute smooth motion. This image must have precomputed
Vector and Back Vector channels either generated from an Optical Flow node or
saved in EXR format with vector channels.
Basic Node Setup
The Smooth Motion node takes the output of the Optical Flow node for the required Vector and
Back Vector channels. The Smooth Motion node can then be used to smooth those channels or
AO channels.

Inspector
Controls Tab
The Controls tab includes checkboxes for the channels you want to smooth. If a channel
selected for smoothing is not available in the input image, Smooth Motion will not fail, nor will it
print any error messages to the Console.
