Andrew Kramer provides a video tutorial on his Video Copilot website in which he demonstrates the use of the
Directional Blur effect to make a gun slide look as if it is moving quickly.
This effect works with 8-bpc, 16-bpc, and 32-bpc color.
Original (left), and with effect applied (right)
Direction The direction of the blur. The blur is applied equally on either side of the center of a pixel; therefore, a setting
of 180° and a setting of 0° produce the same results.
