Twixtor and Reverse Problem

Explorer ,
Feb 05, 2022 Feb 05, 2022

Hello once again. Few days ago, I have come across a weird problem / glitch / crash that occurs that has never happened before. In an After Effects project that I am doing, I am planning on making the boomerang effect. Basically, I want to put slow-motion to a clip and then duplicate it, and reverse the duplicated layer, to give it an effect similar to boomerang. But something weird happens every time I do so. I want to give boomerang effect to different parts of a video, with the frame rate of 23.978. So in my first clip, I would pre-compose it, put twixtor pro to it (I put the frame rate of the video as it is in the twixtor, which is 23.978), then pre-compose again. Then I duplicated that pre-composed layer with twixtor inside it. I moved it right next to the 1st layer, and then I what I did was : right click > Time > Time-reverse layer. It worked perfectly fine. But then, I cut to another part of the video to make the boomerang effect with and also to put twixtor. So I did the same exact steps as before to the 2nd clip. Pre-compose, add twixtor (I copied the twixtor effect from the first clip and pasted it to the 2nd clip), pre-compose again, duplicate it, move it right next to the original layer, and then right click > Time > Time-reverse layer. But in the few frames at the end of the reversed second clip, it has a warping and mixing from the first clip.

These pictures of flowers are the example of the video I used few days ago. Please pretend that it's a video with 23.978 frame rate, as I cannot use the original video due to privacy reasons, but what is shown in the picture is exactly what is happening.

 

I Have tried everything I could. I cleared the cache of After Effects, I put the twixtor individually and manually without copy pasting it from the previous clip, I put the preview resolution to Full, I updated my graphics driver just not so long ago, I pre-composed 2 times before reversing, playing with the other options in the twixtor pro effect controls, choosing "blend" instead of "motion weighted blend", changing the frame rate number in the twixtor option, re-installing the twixtor plugin, I tried everything I could yet it still comes back and it still remains there no matter what I do. I need serious help, please. This is really stressful and I need help or solution please.

 

Thank you so much. I will be putting a detailed video below.

I never apply Twixtor Pro to a nested comp (pre-comp) or a footage layer. Try adding a solid, add Twixtor to the solid, then point to the source footage in the Effects Control panel. You can then turn off the original source footage layer. Adding Twixtor to footage is just asking for trouble.

Hello, sir. What do you really mean by pointing the solid to the source footage? I have added a solid with black color, put it above my footage (not pre-composed), then set the Alt Color Source and Alt Motion Source to my footage but it only made it have a color red on the footage.

Sorry, I forgot to say that I put Twixtor to the solid and then changed the Alt Color Source and Alt Motion Source to the footage layer.

If you suffer from this problem, just twixtor your original video, pre-compose it and time-reverse the pre-composed layer. That way it will take you seconds to solve the problem.
