Maybe I am missing something with enabling motion blur on nodes. So hoping someone can shed some light on it. Can’t seem to find any in-depth section about blur noes in the fusion manual.
What I am running into is when I create an animated object (say for example a white square across the frame over a transparent bg) and enable motion blur, the motion blur looks fine in the viewers. When I export it out to use as a graphic element in resolve (making some motion graphics in my case) the motion blur is there but the color of the motion blur is not correct. Instead of the color of the motion blurred item fading away into complete transparency, it seems as though it is fading away into a back background before getting cut off by the alpha channel. See attached photo for example.
I have found out that the color of the bg layer I am using to set the frame size and have a transparent layer to begin with plays a role in the color of motion blur I get. Although the bg layer is set to alpha 0, the color of the layer seems to "bleed" into the motion blur. So setting the bg to for example red with an alpha of 0, creates motion blur that has red in it.
It seems that if I use the actual video the motion graphic will play over as a transparent background layer, it would be desirable for a better motion blur but is an issue when exporting a motion graphic layer to be used multiple times in an edit.
Also can see that being able to control the color of the motion blur based on the background color could have some unique uses so wasn't sure if this was normal or unintended behavior or if I am doing something wrong in making motion graphics that have motion blur.
So my two questions are:

So my two questions are:
- 1. Am I missing something obvious about motion blur?
2. Is this how these tools work?
3. If so, is there a different way to do motion graphics that doesn’t “color” my motion blur when exported with an alpha channel?
Things I ruled out:
- It does not seem to be an issue of export format or settings or operating systems, they all behave consistently. I have tried exporting in dpx, tiff, ProRes4444 and DNxHR w/alpha and it all behaves the same way. From both Windows and Mac operating systems. I am using Fusion 17.1. And also this behaves the same way in the fusion tab of Resolve.
It also is not an issue of editing software that the exported file is brought into. Seems to look the same on different editing programs.
