thanks for the link Jack. In this case I'm trying to get some light trails coming off a mortorcycle, sort of tron-style. I need some kind of uni-direction blur and since i'm doing 1080 HD I need them really long.

Scott:

This may be obvious, but did you try CC force motion blur? From your description, this sounds like what you are looking for. Precompose your footage first then apply Force motion blur and crank the settings way up. I've used the maximum motion blur samples of 255 and a shutter angle of over 3000 to get this smear. 

Here's an example of two cars passing on a street. I posted an original frame and a processed frame.

Is there an alternative to CC Vector blur that will let me exceed 500 pixels? I need to do really long streaky stuff and multiple instances of the effect isn't working.
