Optical Flow Warps During Cuts

Optical Flow does not know when a clip has a cut, and so it tries to continue the optical flow resulting to a warp. I have a workaround for this but it would be nice if this doesnt happen anymore.

you can apply it to individual clips instead of a whole sequence so that it doesn't have that cut problem. if you already have a fully rendered timeline, use an edit splicer like shutter encoder to xml out separate clips first. Avisynth has a optical flow inside qtgmc that has a built in edit detector if you feel like scripting. I also made an edit detector in AE for optical flow template. There's some 3rd party plugins that have this feature built in.

you really have to look at the material both before and after the edit to determine if it's appropriate for optical flow...  and if not, adjust your edit points.  Not sure you should depend on an "automated" feature for this.     As it is, optical flow doesn't always give you satisfactory results... bwdik...  Don't think this is the place for feature requests although it's possible someone from adobe might see it here...  just do a search for "feature requests" here to find out where to post your suggestion.    Me I'm just happy with how Premiere works as it is.    Adding new features can be something of a faustian bargain causing more problems than it solves.  Just listen to the screams of anguish regarding bugs whenever there's an update...
