Is Twixtor still a worthwhile app?

I was thinking about buying it but wanted to know if the built-in tools are good enough.  Thanks!

    In some ways, Twixtor is even more valuable than ever, especially for slow-motion sequences where new frames need to be created. With 4K footage, tearing and stretching is much less of a problem since Twixtor has more detail to work with. And since my cameras can shoot cleanly at higher ISO's, I can crank up the shutter speed to freeze action giving Twixtor even more sharp detail to do its job. As you would expect, you'll need a pretty beefy machine and GPU. I use it mainly in AE and typically run quarter resolution when RAM previewing comps that contain Twixtor.

    There is a free demo version so you can play around with your own footage to see how it compares to built-in tools.

    Hi Guys,

    I like this for fixing speed adjusted imagery: https://revisionfx.com/products/rsmb/

    Plus, RevisionFX are really cool guys (super small company) and my friends here in San Francisco.

    Feel good about supporting this small crew.

    I'd say it a mixed bag.  Some footage I worked so far, the Premiere/AE pixel bending solution was more efficient than Twixtor and Vice Versa.

    with well lit footage, I can't even see the interpolated frames in premiere. so it's pretty good, but I'd still try the twixtor demo as it has spline support for manual masking for hard stuff.
