    This is beautiful! Twixtor is an amazing tool!
  • Alexandra Dashina 1 year ago
    can you please explain me what is Twixtor?
  • iamkalaniprince plus 1 year ago
    pure awesomeness!, any chance at making a vid of your workflow with twixtor?

    Also, I just got a Panasonic TM700 for the sole purpose of shooting slow-mo as it does 1920X1080 60p! It's Panasonics flagship cam in the CONSUMER division which is just ridiculous but hey I'm not complaining.

    I'd love to see your workflow and setting's as you've done a fantastic job at minimizing the twixtor warpage phenomena.

    PS: I have a couple of sample vids on my page if you wanna check em, both downloadable at full rez : )

    Love and Aloha, Kalani-

    This is truly "unreal." Guys jumping off the roof is unbelievable. Dig it!
    Approx time spent on post/twixtor?

  • Rickard Bengtsson plus 1 year ago
    No idea didn't keep very good track of time. Ranging from 30min-2h per shot I guess. Depening on how much clean up had to be done
  • xSEBxCHANGx 11 months ago
    Hi I'm just getting started with Twixtor, and my first few tries were really blurry/warped (without much tweak on the settings). I know my footage wasn't ideal (GOPRO, will try with my 7D too) but I'm pretty sure the result can still be better, and I'm wondering what kind of adjustments you make on a shot to "clean it up". Do you have some recommendations to a tutorial or a link to a typical workflow to understand what to do with a given shot, what settings to tweak, and stuff ? Thanx for showing what we can do
  •  
  • Daniel Nilsson plus 1 year ago
    Wow, i have to try twixtor for sure, very cool!
  •  
  • Alladdin plus 1 year ago
    Very nicely shot and I like the way you have intelligently applied Twixtor to it. Did you use Twixtor or Twixtor Pro?
  • Rickard Bengtsson plus 1 year ago
    Thanks
    Twixtor Pro was used
  •  
  • Ryan Kozicki 1 year ago
    this is some of the best twixtor footage iv'e ever seen. Can I ask what settings you used in twixtor?
  • Rickard Bengtsson plus 1 year ago
    I used motion blended weights and Inverse with smart blend mostly. Sometimes I had forward.
    Bg sensitivity was set from around 80-100 depending on the clip and same with the speed.
    Slowest speed was 2% and highest around 20.
  • Alladdin plus 1 year ago
    Thanks for sharing the info! Keep us posted of your next experiment!

  • molotoff 1 year ago
    It`s amazing! Very high result!
    Did you use, in twixtor, point tracker for better processing?
  • Rickard Bengtsson plus 1 year ago
    Nope. Haven't messed with that at all. Not really sure how it works actually.
    For future stuff I'll probably test it out.
  •  
  • Matthew Brown plus 1 year ago
    Very cool. In hindsight, is there anything you would have done differently to make the results better? Just curious...
  • Rickard Bengtsson plus 1 year ago
    Hmm no, not really. Maybe looked into the tracking things.

    Maybe tried to angle some of the shots to have even less detail in the background. Like the sky. To get better results.

    The main problem is that there's too much movement and detail in too little time (60fps) on the closeups. Of jumps in the water especially. I don't think there's much else you can do than what I've done to get it better.

  • Hey mate, were you shooting at 30p or 60p? I'm assuming a better result at 60, but but if this was done at anything under 30 I'm impressed.
  • Rickard Bengtsson plus 1 year ago
    Yep shot at 60.
    The more frames you can get out of the camera the smoother the slow motion will be.
  •  
  • MARZ plus 1 year ago
    thats so frikin cool! I tried shooting something like this, with my T2i, and it dint work.....do you conform to 24p first or something?
  • Rickard Bengtsson plus 1 year ago
    Yeah just interpret the footage as 24 in after effects before adding Twixtor and make sure the frame rate in twixtor is the same.
  • Shafeek 1 year ago
    i was wondering few days ago.
    if we shoot with high fps- the footages would come without motion blur. because it capture all the frames that suppose to be fast and blur.
    so ,
    how to use that footage in between 25fps shots.
    do need add post blur. or what you think of it.
    -
    // sorry if i ask in wrong place// but i was really looking for this.
  •  
  • Michael Lapp plus 1 year ago
    Is this effect possible with 30p? I assume its harder to accomplish if so..
  • Rickard Bengtsson plus 1 year ago
    It is possible but wouldn't work that great. At least not for fast moving, detailed subjects like water.
    The jumping shots might work.
    The more frames you can get out of the camera before adding twixtor the better it will be.

  • Sybren Arnoldus plus 1 year ago
    Wow, this is really well done. I tried Twixtor a few times but got massive warping, especially visible in faces.
  • Josh Alden plus 1 year ago
    If you go on RE:Vision's site they have some tutorials on how to stop the warping. You have to mess with the motion sensitivity under track control on twixtor.
  • Sybren Arnoldus plus 1 year ago
    Thanks, I'll check it out and share the results!

  • Shafeek 1 year ago
    btw, awesome shots. kicked out my inspirations.

    what is the camera model you used? :)
    thank you
  • Rickard Bengtsson plus 1 year ago
    Canon eos 550D (aka t2i)
  •  
  • novilyonohp 1 year ago
    Man, this is what I've been looking for, I knew you could get awesome slow motion with the shutter speed, I'm getting the Canon 60D in a couple of weeks and I was wondering the especifications of your video.

    I assume you shot this at 720/60p isn't it? so you got more frames to work on, and the shutter speed on 1000... Can you explain all the specifications to make this ckind of slow motion please??
  • Rickard Bengtsson plus 1 year ago
    720 60p. Shutter 1000. Thats basically all you can do in the camera.
    The 1000 shutter may not be the absolute best number to use, I don't know. That's what I used in earlier tests and I've just stuck with it.
  • Joshua Rainwater plus 1 year ago
    The 1000 shutter in your video is the most crisp I've seen in any Twixtor vid so I'm for sure sticking with that. Thanks for the info, Rickard!

  • Robin Schmidt plus 1 year ago
    I did some tests shooting at 1/4000 on the 7D in bright sunlight, sort of got away with it, but compared to what you get without twixtor it's a revelation

  • Yet another example of why I'm gonna have to buy twixtor and give this a whirl... its just so pricey. Was this twixtor used in FCP?
  • Rickard Bengtsson plus 1 year ago
    Used in After Effects.
    Then everything was edited to the music in Premiere.

  • Luke Middleton 1 year ago
    Hey if you don't mind me asking.
    How did you go about doing the sequences where it started off normal speed then swapped to slo mo?
    Did you just trim the start and add twixtor to the rest of the clip, and join them together again?
    Sorry I'm a bit of a noob..
  • Rickard Bengtsson plus 1 year ago
    Twixtor is added to the entire clip.
    For normal speed I just set twixtor to around 200% (interpert footage as 23,976 before adding twixtor) then keyframed it and set it to something low like 5% when I wanted slowmtion.

    looks soo good Richard! when you say: "just interpret the footage as 24 in after effects before adding Twixtor" how do you do that exactly? just started using AE and am finding it hard to find answers to my questions online. ..
    Cheers mate,
    Paddy
  • Rickard Bengtsson plus 1 year ago
    Thanks dude.
    Right click your footage in the project panel and go to Interpert footage>main. Then change the frame rate to 23,976.

    Amazing Video and you've inspired me to use Twixtor for my Slow Motion I plan on using in a music video.

    Did you do the pans and tilts in camera or in post!? Thanks.

    Truly unbelievable, did you shoot it in 1080p 24 or 720p 60?
  • Rickard Bengtsson plus 1 year ago
    720 60p
  •  
  • So cool! The music was great for the occasion and the editing was very cool. I would have had the thing take place at sunset and included an extreme low-angle shot of you sliding through the water and capturing the setting sun playing off the droplets of water flying through the air, but that's just me. This is gold!
  •  
  • Mario Chavez 1 year ago
    Amazing!!!!!!!
  •  
  • So if I undertstand correctly, this was shot with the T2i (550D) at 29.97fps, and the Twixtor plugin for After Effects was used to interpolate the frames, to seem like you shot the original at 100fps+. Very impressive! I was thinking I'd have to wait until getting a Scarlet (whenever it does come out) and shoot at 120fps to get effects like that. Nice work.
  • Stewart Smith 1 year ago
    No, he's explained several times above that it was shot using the T2i at 720p60 (59.94 fps) and then conformed (interpolated) as 24p footage (23.976). When you play back footage shot at 60fps at 24fps, you inherently get 40% slow motion (overcranked) footage. He then added the twixtor effect to the clips (effectively playing at 40% speed after interpolation) and used values between 2% and 20% speed withing the twixtor plug-in itself.

    After applying the twixtor plugin at 2% for instance, you can effectively get somewhere around 1000fps from the footage (although it frequently will introduce warping and artifacting, his example edit here is incredibly clean)
  • Sorry, didn't have time to read all the comments. Regardless of whether it was shot at 59.94fps or 29.97fps, the Twitor frame interpolation is impressive. What do you mean by "conformed/interpolated" to 24fps before Twixtor? Isn't that just playing 59.94fps at 23.976fps (for clean 40% slowmotion)? If the frames are untouched before Twixtor actually does interpolation, I don't think any "interpolation" has occurred yet.
  • Toddy Ivon 1 year ago
    60p (progressive) its not exist find the manual the "p" letter its lyer!
  • Sorry, I don't understand what you're trying to say.
  •  
  • I just contacted Vision Effects (makers of Twixtor) and they are currently working on a Twixtor plugin for Sony Vegas Pro. :) No release date set, but it's in the works.

  • Vegar Kleppe 1 year ago
    Very cool!

    Would it be possible to post the original version. To see how much "blur" and "interpolation" Twixtor actually adds.

    How would the results be with lower shutter speed?
  • Rickard Bengtsson plus 1 year ago
    Sorry don't have the original files left as I didn't do a regular edit with them before adding twixtor. I added twixtor to each clip individually and then imported these files to Premiere.
    Because I exported the files from ae uncompressed I had huge files and therefor deleted the original un-twixtored footage.
  • Paco Gomez Vega 1 year ago
    So for each scene or sequence you first used twixtor in AE individually and then you edited with each final result on premier,. but then? what export settings you use on your final movie export in premier 24P?
