Here’s a tip I picked up from our buddy and NAPP Help Desk Director Peter Bauer. In Smart Sharpen (under Filter, choose Sharpen), there’s a special form of sharpening that removes visible motion blur. This sharpening is called (are you ready for this?) Motion Blur sharpening, and you choose it from the Remove pop-up menu in the Smart Sharpen dialog. But here’s the catch—you have to be able to determine the angle of the blur for Smart Sharpen to remove it. So, that’s where Pete’s tip comes in. You grab the Measure tool (nested under the Eyedropper tool in the Toolbox), and drag it along the angle of the blur. Then, look in the Options Bar and you’ll see the angle degree listed after the letter A. That’s the number you enter in the Motion Blur Angle field within Smart Sharpen. Very clever, Mr. Bauer.

When you create a grid box inside Vanishing Point, in addition to having the option of returning that grid back to Photoshop as a 3D object, you also have the option of exporting it as a 3D object that you can import into After Effects CS3 and manipulate in a 3D layer. Just click on the small right-facing triangle in the top of the dialog and in the flyout menu, choose Export for After Effects CS3 (.vpe).
