The following image shows a shape keyframed to move quickly across the Canvas horizontally.

In the next image, Motion Blur is enabled and Samples is set to the default value of 8.

Note: When using larger Shutter Angle values, it may be necessary to increase the Samples
value to eliminate unwanted artifacts.
In the above image, the Shutter Angle is set to the default of 360 degrees, which represents 1
frame. In the following image, Shutter Angle is set to 600 degrees.

The Reflections section of the Properties Inspector has one parameter:

Maximum Bounces: Use this slider to limit the number of recursive reflections that can occur
when two or more shiny objects reflect one another. This parameter is intended to prevent an
endless repetition of reflective bounces.
For more information about reflections, see

Reflections overview

on page 951.

Description field
At the bottom of the Properties Inspector is a field where you can enter a brief description of
the project, including significant characteristics of the project preset, such as frame size and
frame rate.

About project frame size

When you change the frame size of a project (via the Width and Height parameters in the
Properties Inspector), you effectively change the size of the Canvas, increasing or reducing layout
space for objects in the project.
