Is Twixtor still a worthwhile app?

[Todd Hart]

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.

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.

Thanks so much for the quick answers.  I'll check out the demo.

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.

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.
