Compound clips are very similar to nests in FCP 7. Give the new compound clip a name and click OK. We will trim this later, being precise is not important. Notice that both clips are touching and both are connected clips. In our example, here, the clip runs This means that we need to create a compound clip that is ten times longer, or around 27 seconds So, we are going to use a compound clip to create the longer clip we need for this effect. To exit Duration mode, click anywhere in the Timeline except on the selected clip. So, we need to compensate for this duration change manually. We need to do this because FCP X does not allow plug-ins to automatically change the duration of a clip. This moves the selected clip up to become a connected clip, and replaces the Primary Storyline with a gap. With the razor blade tool B, I put cuts at the beginning and end of the portion of the clip I want to slow down.

In other words, I want the beginning of the clip to run at full speed, the middle in extreme slow motion, then the end to run at full speed, again. I want to slow down the portion of the clip where the snowboarder is sailing into the air. Otherwise, you get beautiful slo-mo footage that pauses when it hits a pull-down frame. The basic workflow is to 1 Shoot at Then bring into FCP and edit.

Features of Twixtor Pro v6.1.1 for Final Cut Pro X For our test, we used a Canon 60d with a Tokina mm f2.

It seems to be more or less a draw, with Apple Motion having the distinct advantage that it comes bundled with Apple Final Cut Studio and is therefore free if you already use FCS. hopefully if i can find what causes the optical flow to not work as well i can try and optimize my shots that i know i want to slow down so i don't have that bad of a morphing after effect in the shot in post once i apply optical flow to it.Which is better, Motion Optical Flow or Twixtor? Meaning, if i use my letus mini on my camera to get a good depth of field, do you think that will cause optical flow to not work as well because everything behind my subject will be soft and blurry? think i need to not use the adaptor and try and get as much in focus as possible? One question, do you think it'll be bad if there's just motion blur in the video, or if there is any blurred stuff in the video? i'll try shooting it with a fast enough shutter speed so that i can try and cut down on the motion blur. I'm going to try and do some tests tomorrow outside in the sun. Too much blurry, fuzzy, fast movement will not give it clear enough data to create good morphs. It's simply analyzing pixels, and creating morph patterns between them. In post, the more clear and sharp the original frame images are, the better the results with Optical Flow. If your cam doesn't do that, just shoot at 60fps, conform that to a 24fps Timeline, export that as a QT file, take into Motion for even slower motion. You can always try using a combination of contrast, sharpen and blur filters to clean up the shot, export as a QT, then bring that back in to Motion and try retiming with Optival flow.Īnd sometimes it's simply not the look you really need.īut nothing beats in-camera over cranking.
Some footage will lend itself to one or the other better than other footage. AE, Twixtor, Motion all do the same basic morphing process, just different algorithms.
But nothing beats using actual original frames. Even then there are variables that will effect the image quality.
More importantly, you will never get slow motion done in post to look as good as it will when simply over cranked in the actual camera. Only difference between FCPX and Motion 5 is that Motion gives you full access to all of the controls so you can tweak the results.
