Motion blend

The new firmware for the Nikon Z9 introduces in-camera motion blend. Is there a simple way of obtaining the same effect with cameras that don’t have this feature built in?

You don't show or say what the end results are.
There are filters in PSCC that may do what you want.

Sorry. I could not find many examples. Here’s one from PetaPixel. The new firmware allows you to select multiple frames from a burst, and combines them while also matching the background. And it does all this in-camera.

Hummmm looks like a Z9 is the way too go

Anyone up to try this with a simple "stack?" We'll never know for sure unless we try. I don't have any track like events nearby, or anywhere else for that matter. I did do a stack of multiple images of a rocket launch at night that worked out quite well, seems like this would work also.

It should be able to be done in layers or try it as merging as a panorama everything that stays in the same spot will line up and I believe the jumpers will merge separately. The only way to tell is to try.

I have done this a number of times. It's not as slick as an in camera automation but never the less doable. Set the camera to continuous shooting. Then pick out which shots to use and put them in layers with masking. This was from 2016 I believe.

That looks good. I take it you used a tripod. Where did you put your focus point? I take it you are masking everything except the jumper in the subsequent frames.

Not particularly difficult in Photoshop if you are using a very stable tripod and a remote trigger for your 4-8 shot montage. Hand-held, no matter how steady you think you are, won't work. As for in-camera, I don't think my Sonys will, although I've never researched it.

Kinda curious. If you are masking everything, why not hand held?

Probably perception. I like every thing to be exactly proportional when I start. Again, just me.

I did not use a tripod. The background is masked out in all frames but one. I don't remember about the focus point.

Handheld works for me. Several frames are used but each pixel comes from a single frame.
