Merge Images

Merge frames together to simulate fast movement by blending consecutive frames into a single image. This technique creates a sense of motion blur, making it appear as though objects are moving rapidly. By combining the key elements of each frame, you can enhance the illusion of speed and fluidity in your animation. This is particularly effective in action sequences or scenes requiring dynamic motion, adding a professional touch to your film.

1. While in the movie editor, select a sequence of frames to merge together.
2. Open the frame edit menu on a frame in the sequence.
3. Select Merge to merge the selected frames. If the object in your scene is moving it will look like it’s moving really fast.
4. Repeat the above steps for all other frames you want to merge.

TIP: This effect works best when the camera is still and only the character or a prop is moving. Apply the merge effect to all images until the figure or prop is out of the picture or stands still again.
