Directional blur by using simple expression

Here’s one for those times you’re without sparks..

ingredients: 1 batchmodule / 2 action nodes / 1 clip

1) input the clip on which you’d like to apply the directional blur in a layer of action1 and add it as an image
2) set the resolution of action1 to twice the size of the image (can be more or less)
3) input the result of action1 into a layer in action2 and add it as an image
4) link axis1.rotation of action2 to axis1.rotation of action1, but >negative< .. the expression will look something like -(action2.axis1.rotation)..
5) in action2 apply an x or y blur to your image and then rotate the image around z (in action2) .. et voila..

cheers..
