I highly suggest checking these out it will save you some trial and error. It’s just not going to happen, if you’re expecting that you will probably be disappointed.Ī simple Google search shows that you can find dozens of people who have made some great videos who are willing to share their techniques. You’re not going to go out and shoot on the fly 24fps footage, drop it in Twixtor and come out with Zach Synder’s wet dream of a shot. Your footage has to be shot with this effect planned to look its best, so keep that in mind. Applying the effects is pretty easy if you understand the basics of your editing platform controls, but don’t expect quick flawless results. After installation, your program of choice should recognize the plug in and you’ll be ready to go. Ease of Useīeing a plug in, it’s a relatively smooth install. You’re going to see less ghosting/artifacts and superior tracking using Twixtor instead of the standard options your editing platform provides. It’s Twixtor’s handling of the individual frames that makes all the difference. As of this review, Final Cut and Premiere handle the slowing/speeding of footage differently than Twixtor.

Sure you could use your editing program to slow your footage down, and in some cases it will work fine. The program creates in between frames to “smooth” out your footage and it also can achieve pretty impressive “ramping” type results. That is where a program like Twixtor comes in. So, since we are talking micro-filmmaking, I doubt most of you are going to shoot on a camera (film or digital) that has the capability to capture authentic high speed photography. If you’re looking for that super slow motion look, you’ll want to max out your cameras frame rate capabilities, which means you’ll probably shoot 60fps. Most consumer cameras top out at 30fps, Prosumer at 60fps and then you have sports cameras like the Go Pro that also reach 60fps. Twixtor is not a miracle program (what is really?) in order to get the best results you have to shoot it right. Looking over the web I’ve come across some, well to be truthful, crappy results, too. Out there that have used Twixtor with some amazing results, but I would be willing to bet those amazing shots came with a lot of trial and error. Now I will be honest, there are some really impressive videos And it is, it’s called “Twixtor” and it does a hell of a job.

How can this be? Who are these kids and what cameras are they using? It wasn’t until I started seeing Go Pro footage that looks to be running 600 frames a second that I thought “this has to be a program”.

It seems every time I click on someone’s internet video I’m starting to see high speed slow motion.
