for 3D Planes option

Enabled if the Apply Motion Blur to menu is set to 3D Planes -

Parameter Description

Apply Mode menu Determines how an image is composited over images

underneath it in the timeline—see Apply Mode Menu.

Apply Mix Blends the Apply Mode setting with the Apply Mix From

menu setting. Apply Mix softens the affect of a given apply

mode or animates Apply Mix to blend from one apply mode

to another over time. The resulting mixed mode is used to

composite the shape.

Brightness Adjusts the brightness of an object after it is composited over

the background.

Contrast Adjusts the contrast of the object after it is composited over

the background.
