Change the color to black. Open the brush tool, choose a relatively large size, hardness 0% set the Opacity to 80%. Open up the Brush panel and make that only Smoothing is check. Brush across the bottom of your title to reveal the background. Copy the layer mask to the Motion Blur layer by holding down the Alt as you drag the layer mask down next to Motion Blur.
