Camera Control

Camera Control gives quick access to different properties and operators regarding cameras and everything related.

Scene

Scene Properties: various Active Camera properties, Lock Camera to View, Motion Blur, and Motion Blur Shutter.

Scene Operators:

5. Copy Passepartout *

Copy the Passepartout Alpha of Active Camera to all cameras.

6. Motion Blur On/Off *

Add a marker to enable or disable motion blur at current frame. Shutter time can also be controlled with an 'mblur_on' marker.
Valid motion blur marker names:

• mblur_off
• mblur_on
• mblur_on 0.5 / mblur_on0.5 / mblur_on_0.5

Once a motion blur marker is added to the timeline, the operator 'Update Motion Blur' appears beside the 'Marker' label. Enabling it will update Motion Blur and Shutter during a frame change.

This option is enabled automatically during rendering.

Copy current shutter time to selected 'mblur_on' markers.
