WHAT IT DOES

What ae_enable_motion_blur does on Ae

AI agents use ae_enable_motion_blur to create or update resources in Ae, usually the action step of a workflow, after the agent has gathered context. Every call changes real data in your Ae environment.

RISK

Why ae_enable_motion_blur is rated Medium

This tool modifies properties of After Effects layers and compositions by enabling a visual effect. Since motion blur can be toggled off, this is a Write operation (reversible modification) rather than Destructive. The severity is medium because misuse could corrupt a project's visual state or waste rendering resources, but the effects are easily undone.

From the tool's definition Tool performs 'Enable motion blur on layers and composition', which modifies layer/composition properties in After Effects. This is a reversible change (motion blur can be disabled).
