 Twixtor Pro 4.5 upgrade from previous Pro version (2.x or 3.x) Upgrade for Regular version of Twixtor v1, 2, 3 or 4 (Light version) to the Pro Version. Twixtor enables users to speed up, slow down image sequences with visually stunning results. In order to achieve its unparalleled image quality, Twixtor synthesizes unique new frames by warping and interpolating frames of the original sequence... employing the next generation of RE:Vision's proprietary tracking technology that calculates motion for each individual pixel.
DV Magazine calls Twixtor "amazing" and "a must-have for any toolkit." Video Systems says "it's the best plug-in method for creating speed changes, slow-motion effects, and frame-rate conversions." DIGIT magazine says "If you regularly find yourself stretching or shrinking footage to fit a target duration, or creating extreme speed control special effects, this is a plugin that you'll find invaluable."
New in Twixtor 4:- Contains an option to remove motion motion blur when slowing footage.
- Support for marking material so that Twixtor does not motion-interpolate inappropriately across a cut or other transition.
- Better integration: uses host application's settings for rendering fields
- After Effects only: ability to remap audio and video using After Effect's time remapping tools but using Twixtor "under the hood"
- Twixtor may now be used in Premiere Pro projects set to produce interlaced material.
- Render-only pricing
Twixtor 4.5 introduces a complete rewrite of its tracking. Twixtor is much more accurate, tracks objects farther, and exhibits fewer artifacts when there are objects crossing in the scene. This means less tearing and stretching of objects as they cross or go out of the frame. Twixtor now includes a smart blending option for pans and zooms to prevent inappropriate streaking or weird artifacts at frame borders. Twixtor also adds an option to automatically enhance dark imagery or imagery with poorly defined edges. With the new features, many pieces of footage that were previously difficult to track become well behaved.
New Features added to v4.5:- Tracking completely rewritten from the ground up. Twixtor is much more accurate, tracks farther, and exhibits fewer artifacts when there are objects crossing in the scene.
- Option to automatically enhance dark imagery or imagery with poorly defined edges. In many cases, footage that was difficult to track becomes much more well-behaved upon retiming.
- Now contains an option to remove motion motion blur upon slowing footage
- Support for marking material so that Twixtor does not motion-interpolate across a cut.
- Easier to setup: Twixtor 4 now uses the host application's settings for rendering fields
- After Effects only: ability to remap audio and video using AE's time remapping tools but using Twixtor "under the hood".
What's new in the After Effects-compatible version 4.5.6?
• Added floating point image support for After Effects 7.0
• On the Macintosh, make sure to delete the previous set of plugins for Twixtor in your plugins folder, because the name of the plugin files have been changed
• On the Macintosh users will see a significant improvement on G5 CPUs running Mac OS 10.4 (Tiger).
For Final Cut Pro, Twixtor comes in two versions. The native FxPlug version and the After Effects-compatible version. What's the difference? Functionally they are practically the same, however the FxPlug version can process images in 10 bit YUV (and greater bit depths, when supported). The After Effects-compatible version only works in 8 bits per channel, but can also run in After Effects, combustion and Premiere Pro.
Twixtor Pro adds the following features- Object separation. Support for foreground and background separation using a specified matte. Twixtor then tracks each layer separately for improved results. This feature uses proprietary filling and tracking techniques when working on the background layer even when it is obscured by the foreground! In certain hosts there is support for up to 3 foreground layers.
- Track Point Guidance. Up to 12 tracking points can be specified to help guide Twixtor's motion estimation. By using the tracking points you can explicitly tell Twixtor where a pixel moves from one frame to the next in order to guide Twixtor's calculation of motion vectors. You can set the position of each point at each frame by hand, but more importantly, these points can be positioned from frame-to-frame using the host application's point-tracking features.
- Spline Guidance. When Twixtor exhibits tracking problems, you can guide Twixtor by simply creating and animating shapes to show Twixtor where objects are actually moving. Interactive feature registraion is directed through the host program's drawing and roto tools (splines and polylines), not through a grid of mesh points! As such, there is no new interface to learn! This feature only vailable for Shake 3.0 (and later) version and After Effects 5.0 (and later) and combustion 3.0 (and later) versions
- Motion Vector Import. Give Twixtor motion vectors generated elsewhere (for example, from a 3D system) to time remap footage, including adding motion-interpolated fields to otherwise progressive material. Only supported in apps that work in 16bpc or higher.
- Motion Vectors Export. You can now output the motion vectors that Twixtor generates internally. This powerful feature comes with visual debugging modes to more intuitively assess and tune the quality of the motion estimation. The motion vectors can then be used elsewhere in the pipeline (including the Twixtor plugin that imports motion vectors). Only supported in apps that work in 16bpc or higher.
