How to make motion blur?

Hello.

I made a shape on a layer and double clicked the layer and turned motion blur on. However, I can't seem to see the effect in the window.

I turned on anti aliasing in the preview and tried exporting the animation. Still no luck.

Does anybody know what I am doing wrong?

Is your object in motion?

Hi Gilles.

yes. I moved a point on a simple closed shape across the screen.

Does it work on point-level animation?

Yes it does.

here is a sample file I just made.

Thanks for doing that Gilles.

It opens fine and I see the animation you made. However I see no motion blur.

Is there something I need to enable in order to see it?

You need to render the file (ctrl/cmd-E) to be able to see the motion blur.

The file I uploaded renders motion blur no problems.
