Filmic Motion Blur In Vegas???

Hello everybody!
So, whatever I do, I can't get filmic motion blur with Vegas. The best motion blur ever I used is The Foundry Furnace (for AE), but it takes one whole life for rendering out a footage approx 1 hour. It is REALLY same as any film motion blur, i.e. no any shutter (strobes) or flickering, perfect blurred motion. That's why then on the TV I see very nice look&motion, but I can't get it with Vegas Motion Blur, no matter what adjustment I do. Actually, it could be much better if it offers more options like speed, motion, time,...
So, any ideas and suggestions?
 
Are you shooting in 24p/a? What kind of motion blur are you looking for? Effects? The overall look?
The motion blur envelope is pretty convincing if used to a minimum. But if you're already shooting progressive then you won't really need it.

Actually I shoot in PAL DV Interlaced, then if I want to render out to progressive (or to interlace with "Reduce Flickering" option - absolutely same visual look like progressive), the shuttering and strobing appear. I am looking for motion blur overall look, i.e. to avoid strobes in camera/object motion.
 
To avoid strobing then pan and dolly slowly. When you're shooting interlaced the footage is smoother because of the extra frames. You must shoot with 24fps in mind.
Motion blur is the only feature within Vegas that can help here. But, even then that may not do it if you're moving the camera too quick without an object working as your focal point.

What shutter speeds are you using? I find I get very smooth blur when using 1/60th or 1/48th shutter speeds.

Actually my DV Cam shoots in PAL 25fps Interlaced. My options are: OFF, 1/50 and 1/120. Usually I shoot using 1/50. Is it better if it is OFF? So???
