Button Name Description
Global Motion Blur Toggles the visibility of motion blur off and
on for all tracks in the timeline. Also lets you
apply motion blur without displaying it in the
Composite window. When Global Motion
Blur is off, all tracks appear without motion
blur in the Composite window and in the
rendered output.
The track-based motion blur does not affect
motion within the media, it only affects the
motion of the track.
Motion blur can slow previewing and
rendering, turning off the visibility of motion
blur speeds previews.
The Global Motion Blur button affects all
compositions in the Render Queue. Restore
the motion blur visibility before rendering to
maintain motion blur in the rendered effects.
Also see Blurring an Image on page 310.
Smart View buttons Toggles Smart View on and off—see “Using
the Smart View” on page 32
Show Mask Tracks The Show Mask Tracks button lets you hide
all Mask tracks in the timeline if you do not
plan to use them. For information on mask
tracks, see “The Mask Track” on page 36.
