Introduction: What is 1ms Motion Blur Reduction and Why Do I Need It?
Motion blur is simply the transition between one frame to the next, this happens when your camera shutter time is too slow, or when you play something at a framerate that is too low. For example, if you film at 30fps and have a shutter time of 1/60th of a second, then your scene will be blurred.
1ms Motion Blur reduction – or alternatively 30fps motion blur reduction – is a way to take advantage of the knowledge that you can get something at a framerate of 60fps by simply reducing your footage duration to something like 25-30 seconds. As long as you use 1/60th of a second as your shutter time, then you will not suffer from motion blur. In fact, your scene will look very sharp and clear with only 1ms shutter time. This article aims to explain why, how and how much this works.
Section 1: Why motion blur?
What Makes The 1ms Motion Blur Reduction Work?
The 1ms motion blur reduction is the sort of thing that is used in professional cameras to avoid motion blur for slow shutter speeds. What this means, is that when you use it, you get a very sharp picture where most of your images are in focus, because all the pictures that are blurred have been reduced so much by the camera/software processing. For those of you that need a tutorial to use the 1ms motion blur reduction, I have made a video tutorial. It should look something like this:
How to Switch On The 1ms Motion Blur Reduction On Your G-SYNC Monitor?
First, you need to find out if your monitor supports 1ms motion blur reduction. If it does, then you can simply go to the Nvidia Control panel and check for 1ms motion blur reduction. On this page, you will see a checkbox just below the G-Sync control panel that says “Use G-SYNC Controlled Motion Blur Reduction”. If your monitor doesn’t support 1ms motion blur reduction, then there is no way to make it work. I have a video tutorial here if you want to know what to do if your monitor doesn’t support 1ms motion blur reduction. NOTE: The G-SYNC monitor will not work with the image flip method, because the image flip mode overrides the 1ms motion blur reduction setting.
At the GeForce Experience Control Panel, you can choose to enable or disable G-SYNC mode. If you want to use your monitor without activating G-SYNC mode, then simply deselect the “Enable G-SYNC Mode” option.
From now on, I will refer to this setting as 1ms motion blur reduction. You can now go about doing whatever you need to do with your monitor in the Nvidia control panel or anywhere else that allows you to do so.
If you want to use your G-SYNC monitor with the image flip method, then you need to use the image flip setting. You can go to the Nvidia Control panel, or go directly here.
On the Nvidia Control Panel, choose “Settings”. Then select “Application Profiles” and choose the “Display” tab. Choose “Image Flip (Vertical Sync)” from the drop down menu and change “Vertical Flip” from off to on. Now select “Apply”.
You can now move on to the next step.
