How to Animate a Blur Effect - Opentoonz

Here I use the function editor and the fx schematic in order to have an animated blur effect.

I used directional blur like you but some frames goes white. How can i fix it ?

[@Orphanlast]

Pun Pakapol I've never had an issue with that... are you in preview mode? And is the scub bar on the viewer red on the frame that you're trying to view? Because, if so, the red content on the scrubber are frames that are still in need of rendering

[@Punix]

Oh okay its might be still rendering, thanks guy

[@Orphanlast]

Pun Pakapol be careful with adding too many fx it takes FOREVER to render.

[@Punix]

Just 2-3 fx per 1 rendering is okay?

[@Orphanlast]

Pun Pakapol it all depends on your computer and its specs really. But I'd say if you wanted to add a bunch of FX to a scene, render it incrementally. Take your rendered footage and put it into your x-sheet (that way it won't have to render previously completed fx... it'll only be rendering pixels) then add more on top of that. This is if and when it slows your computer down. The fx schematic has tons of cool things in it. Not all of it is something you'd want to process and render all at once, but incrementally. But don't go deleting the columns, just prevent them from rendering. Because it's always possible that you can work yourself into a corner, and if that happens, you still have all the work you've done.

Is there anyway to tween FX effects?

[@Orphanlast]

Str8 Krillin it by tween, I take it you mean "automatic inbetweening". The answer is yes. It's just that with this animation, the characters changed directions frequently.

@@Orphanlast the blur option doesn't appear. I don't have it. Can you help me please

[@Orphanlast]

@@levelzanimations I don't know what you mean by blur option. Did you watch the prerequisite video? Are you in the FX schematic or the Stage Schematic? Do you have the correct directional blur selected in the FX Schematic? The video seems pretty well done. It's been years since I made this video or used opentoonz, and yet, I'm still able to comprehend what's bein' done here. What's going on? At what point are you not able to follow?

[@levelzanimations]

@@Orphanlast sorry, I am in stage schematic, how do I go in FX schematic?

[@Orphanlast]

@@levelzanimations Okay. I don't get what the problem is. You have a problem with a blur option? Meaning what?

[@justincolenguyen]

oh opentoonz

[@Orphanlast]

+justin what's this about?

[@justincolenguyen]

What? No, I'm just saying you're using opentoonz

[@Orphanlast]

+justin yup.

[@Orphanlast]

You ever try out opentoonz?

[@justincolenguyen]

Yea. Switched to Flash tho since it's easier to use.
