What does Go Motion Blur replace?
The pair of Optical Flow and Vector Motion Blur nodes. Optical Flow is built to retime footage, where one wrong pixel tears a frame. Motion blur spreads its answer over dozens of pixels, so it does not need that precision. Go Motion Blur asks a smaller question, and answers it much faster.
How fast is it?
On one 4K frame of an animated text title, the Optical Flow plus Vector Motion Blur pair took about 12.4 s in Resolve, and Go Motion Blur took 4.45 ms.
Measured in September 2026 on an NVIDIA RTX 4070 Ti. The Resolve figure is the cold render time of the two nodes in a Fusion composition; the Go Motion Blur figure is the median of seven renders of the same frame, measured outside Resolve. Real footage in Resolve is still being validated.
Which controls does it have?
One. Motion Blur sets how much the picture smears, from 0 to 100, and it starts at 50. Nothing else: no shutter angle to convert, no quality preset to pick, no analysis pass to wait for. Drop it on a clip and move one slider.
What machine do I need?
Windows and DaVinci Resolve, which is sold separately by Blackmagic Design, with an NVIDIA graphics card: Go Motion Blur is built on CUDA.
How much is it, and how do I activate it?
€35, once. There is no subscription. After the purchase you receive a licence key: paste it into Licence key in the Go Motion Blur controls and press Activate. It checks in with our server now and then and keeps working offline for 30 days.
