 * '''Shutter offset:''' Offsets the time (in frames) at which the motion blur shutter opens and closes. A shutter offset of 0 (the default) causes the shutter to open exactly on the frame number and close at frame + motion blur length. If, instead, you set shutter offset to -0.5 times the motion blur length (e.g. -0.25 shutter offset with the default motion blur length of 0.5), the motion blur will be centred on the current frame. Choosing the correct shutter offset may be important if Terragen renders need to be composited with tracked footage or output from other renderers.

However, turning off motion blur on the renderer is not quite the same as turning it off on the camera. Even with motion blur turned off on the renderer, it still uses the shutter window to calculate motion vectors (if output) and always renders an image that is centred in the shutter window so that the rendered image can be properly motion blurred in post. The image might not use the exact camera values for the frame. To ensure that it does, set motion blur length to 0 and shutter offset to 0. This behaviour has changed in v4.5 onwards.
