Creating this effect...?

Should be linked to when the video freeze frames the skier in the air.

I realise this is a frame grab with motion tracking but I was wondering if there is a program or plugin that will help me achieve this affect in after effects a lot faster?

Cheers!

i'd like to learn how to do that for something like an action movie.

Looks alot like a plug in for After Effects called Twixtor.

i think he's refering to the pictures that are kept in place, not so much the slow mo.

It isn't just for After Effects. It is available for FCP and other products.

Yes, that's right!

I realise that twixtor is used for the ultra slow mo. I was just wondering whether it was manual or if anyone knows of any software than aids in the motion tracking and masking?

Thanks

photoshop?

my guess is PS the image at what ever frame you want then plant it back in as a layer and move it accordingly?

I don't think photoshop is necessary. You can simply time freeze a layer in AE, then mask out the background. Then you would just apply tracking data to the layer.

The built in tracker for AE would probably suffice, but AE also comes with Mocha which would likely be more accurate.

ah. I see.
I am just learning AE and thus, don't know much about it.
