After Effects Video Choppy and Warping?

[gabc777]

hi all!

so when i was editing my video, it had a very choppy slow motion. i added pixel motion frame blending which helped made the video smoother, but there is like some warping effect that i do not know how to remove. does anyone know a solution? thanks in advance!

Start by transcoding the footage in Handbrake or a similar tool. Game footage often has all sorts of issues like variable framerates, compression patterns jumping al lover the place and of course the actual game itself causing problems liek content popping in or drawing errors. Random text messages popping in also does not make things easier. With that in mind it's also not as easy as slapping on Twixtor and hoping it will miraculously slow down your footage without extra work. Your example has distinct areas with the timer at the top, the bottom area and the center and those may simply need to be split up with masks on duplicate layers so the motion analysis doesn't go completely bonkers. That and of course you need to tweak motion thresholds, how many frames are analyzed and interpolated and all that individually for these separate areas then. Anyway, the short answer simply is that you need to put in more work.
