How to Create a Motion Blur Text Effect

10 easy steps:

1. Let’s start by converting text into a smart object.
2. After that apply a gaussian blur filter and set it to about 3-5%.
3. Then go to filter, noise, median. Set it to about 8.
4. Create a duplicate of your smart object using control-j keys combination.
5. Go to the blur gallery and select path blur.
6. Create a path like you can see on the screen.
7. Select the first point and set the speed to 400 and taper to about 40%.
8. Uncheck centered blur box and change the end point speed to 8 pixels.
9. Select the second point, use the same settings as before, but change the end point speed to 300.
10. And as a last step create a gradient map. Here are the color codes: #fffae1; #2ed5c7; #1159ba; #0e051e. That’s it!
