Thread: Prem. Pro Slo-mo Vs. Twixtor Slo-mo

I've just started using the Twixtor Plug-In for Premier Pro. This supposedly creates new frames in between existing frames to create a much smoother slow motion effect.

Thing is I've followed the set-up instructions to a T, can see the results, and they look no better than the results gained with the Premier "speed/duration" tool with frame blending turned on. Does this mean that Premier Pro is already equipped to create new frames for a smoother slo-mo effect?

Please help. I'm relatively new at this, and you could save me a lot of time and money on different programs with your knowledge.

Thankyou,

Christian

I'm almost certain that premier does not "tween" frames it merely repeats them for slo-mo. If your not slowing things down too much premier will yield satisfactory results. If you want really slow slo-mo or a speed ramp effect then twixtor is the way to go, although it's fiddly to use and expensive. If youv got money to spend consider getting a compositor such as Combustion which has a slowmotion tweener far better than plug-in software and tons more to boot (colour correction, particle systems, keying, titles, 3d compositing, tracking etc etc yadayadayada)

tonga

Yet another software you might mention is Video Surgeon. This software has the ability to change the speed of the playback, zoom-in and to set loop points so you can play a section repeatedly. It also automatically detects the URL's of videos playing on Youtube and thousands of other sites and helps you download them. A FREE, four hour, fully functional demo can be found at http://www.videosurgeon.net

Video surgeon, please be serious! for one thing you can only slow down to 50% speed! its a joke
