You can preview QuickTime movies by clicking the Preview button to open a QuickTime
Source Preview monitor. See “Previewing Effects” on page 192 for information on using the
preview to monitor feature.
Motion Blur Button
Click the Motion Blur button to toggle motion blur on or off for the track. Once you turn
motion blur on, you can adjust the motion blur parameters in the Motion Blur tab. See
Blurring an Image on page 310 for more information.
Motion blur is especially memory-intensive. Therefore, selecting a lower resolution and/or
Draft mode when creating a motion blur effect uses less memory.
The Global Motion Blur button toggles the visibility of motion blur on and off for all tracks
in the timeline. If you turn Global Motion Blur off, all tracks appear without motion blur in
the Composite window and in the rendered output. Turning off the visibility of motion blur
speeds preview time.

The Global Motion Blur button affects all compositions in the Render Queue. Restore the
visibility of motion blur before rendering or motion blur is not used in your rendered effects.
Adding motion blur to tracks you animate can make the motion appear smoother and more
natural. The track-based motion blur does not affect motion within the media, it only affects
the motion of the track.
Avid FX offers a different motion blur filter, the BCC Motion Blur. The track-based motion
blur creates a blur based on the motion of the Shape track or container. The BCC Motion
Blur filter creates a blur based on the motion of the pixels in the image.
