Motion blur softens fast movement in a screen recording. Use it to make zooms, pans, and animated cursor movement feel smoother and less abrupt.

Turn on motion blur

  1. Open your video in the Tella editor.
  2. Click Effect in the sidebar, or press E.
  3. Under Zooms, expand Advanced zoom settings.
  4. Turn on Motion blur.
  5. Drag the slider from Subtle to Strong to set the amount.
Motion blur works with manual zooms and Auto Zoom. Cursor movement is blurred when an animated cursor is enabled on the clip.

Change motion blur on one clip

Motion blur uses the video-wide setting by default. To change it for only the current clip:
  1. Open Effect on that clip.
  2. Under Zooms, expand Advanced zoom settings.
  3. Turn on Adjust this clip.
  4. Turn motion blur on or off, or change its amount.
Turn off Adjust this clip to make the clip use the video-wide motion blur setting and amount again.

Turn motion blur off

Open Advanced zoom settings in Effect and turn off Motion blur. Tella keeps your zooms, pans, and cursor animation but renders their movement without blur.
