Change shutter speed

[devin]

I'm using a physical camera set to Video with a f-number of 8 and a shutter speed of 225 and I've got to much motion blur. The problem is my shutter speed parameter is grayed out and I can't figure out how to make it active so I can adjust it. Can anyone help?

Change the Camera Mode from "Still Camera" to "Movie Camera" (The dropdown box on the top. The Still Mode doesnt have shutter speed for obvious reasons

My camera type is set to Video not Still that's the problem it's still grayed out. By the way what is the difference between Video and Movie?

[vlado]

The movie camera creates uniform motion blur within the frame (e.g. if you look at one single frame of a moving object, the motion blur would be symmetric in that you cannot tell which position of the object is first, and which is second in time). In constrast, the video camera places a bias on the motion blur towards the most recent postion of the moving objects (it is equivalent to using the bias parameter for regular motion blur).

vlado, any idea why I can't adjust shutter speed with my camera set to Video?

[vlado]

You should be able to adjust the camera latency, which determines how far back in time the effect will reach, in seconds (e.g. 1/30 or something).
