The Motion Blur image effect enhances fast-moving scenes by leaving “motion trails” of previously rendered frames. For a modern implementation of Motion Blur, please refer to the new Camera Motion Blur Effect.

Like all image effects, Motion Blur is only available in Unity Pro. Make sure to have the Pro Standard Assets installed.

Property: Function:
Blur Amount How much of the previous frames to leave in the image. Higher values make longer motion trails.
Extra Blur If checked, this makes motion trails more blurry, by applying some extra blur to previous frames.

Tips:

  • Motion Blur only works while in play mode because it’s time based.

Hardware support

Motion Blur effect works all graphics cards that support rendering to a texture. E.g. GeForce2, Radeon 7000 and up. All image effects automatically disable themselves when they can not run on an end-users graphics card.
